Swansea City 0 - 1 Newcastle United - 10/09/17 (post-match reaction from p37)

Bet any money they highlight that on MOTD and try and get him banned.

It was the right decision to not give the penalty. Merino didn't have to go down and I don't understand why he did.

 

To me that is more a three-match ban than yesterday (Liverpool's Sadio Mane being sent off against Manchester City. To me that is blatant gamesmanship from Merino.

 

Didn't even have to wait for MOTD....

Why would Merino dive there after rising 2 defenders? Safe to assume he lost balance like.

 

Nah :lol:

 

It's a clear dive.

Good job we didnt get a penalty or Merino would have a 2 match ban following

 

Is that the rule for retrospective action?

Aye, if the player "successfully fools the officials" or something, automatic 2 match ban now
