You hope so.
Has english football introduced retrospective bans for diving?
I see the panel cleared him, first case under the new rules.
I'd scrap it now, pointless!
He did dive, but seemed to get a slight touch as well. Difficult one.
probably unsurprising that the first ban for diving came from the lower leagues with Miller at Carlisle.... who are appealing. Get everyone used to it a bit first, before unleashing the wrath of PL clubs/supporters, and perhaps getting the review and appeal processes ironed out at a level where clubs are unlikely to be afford a 12 man panel of top barristers to try and undermine/overturn the new system in the courts... or try to kill it stone dead early like when they tried to introduce a 10 yard rule
