Football Association defeated in summer plans to ban players for diving using video evidence But the furore over alleged dives by Manchester United winger Young at Real Sociedad and Chelsea midfielder Ramires against West Bromwich Albion looks set to spark attempts to resurrect it. With the FA having abandoned protocol last month by forcing through a mid-season change to its rules on retrospective action - in defiance of the Premier League and Football League - it may be emboldened to attempt something similar with diving. FA chairman Greg Dyke was the driving force behind a tweak to the regulations which take effect a week on Friday after Fernando Torres avoided trial by video for raking the face of Jan Vertonghen. Whether Dyke or the FA have the appetite to rush through a rule change on diving before the summer remains to be seen but it is understood that there is enough support for it to be debated again in the close season. The Scottish Football Association has used video evidence to ban players for simulation in recent years, with two-match suspensions sometimes applied even though it is only a yellow-card offence if punished on the field of play. The opposition of the professional game to such a rule being adopted in England centres on the difficulty in proving whether a player has dived and the wider implications for banning a player whose actions may have materially affected the outcome of a match. However, several Premier League managers have called for retrospective action on simulation, including Young's and Ramires's own bosses. United's David Moyes, who absolved Young of diving against Sociedad, said: "I said after the game and I have said for many years diving is something we should have retrospective video for. Mourinho said of simulation last month: "I say I hate it. If you were born in countries where simulation is accepted, the moment you come to this country you have to change immediately your ship. This is not about winning or losing, this is about keeping a culture or allowing a culture to change. I have not dropped a player because of diving, but I have been strong and critical. I spoke about it with [Didier] Drogba and [Arjen] Robben. Of course, my players know they will be in big trouble with me if they dive. I tell them many times I hate it. It's very bad. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger last season called for an ethics committee to be set-up to adjudicate over diving incidents retrospectively. "With this committee, an obvious dive should be punished by a three-match ban," he said. Former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis echoed that, saying last season: "I've been on about and banging the drum about people who fall over. It's an embarrassment. The FA should be looking at this.
