FA Could Turn to Retrospective Action to Ban Game's Divers: The Daily EPL

Hopeful news this morning for one of the most annoying facets of the professional game — diving. The FA could turn to retrospective action by the end of this season to ban the game’s divers by tweaking the disciplinary code.

Hopefully the FA will move ahead with this since it’s one of the sore points of watching the Premier League or any soccer match. It’s difficult for referees to make quick decisions, and if The FA can step in and make retrospective decisions with the aid of time and technology.
