� plays in a dangerous manner
� impedes the progress of an opponent
� prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands
� commits any other offence, not previously mentioned in Law 12, for which play is stopped to caution or send off a player.
When combined with�this law for cautions, then clearly diving is�against the laws of the game.�There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour, e.g. if a player:
- attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)
Oh, sorry, you must have been offended that I replied to the more erudite poster. I didn't see any material difference in your positions, and further cut-and-paste is no substitute for an argument.
I do, of course, look forward to your campaign to "stamp out" conceding goals!
