From the Melbourne Age
"Adelaide import Jeronimo Neumann may become only the third A-League
player banned for diving while Wellington captain Andrew Durante could
also be sanctioned for calling him a cheat.
Argentine midfielder Neumann continued his great form in his
first A-League season with two goals in the Reds' 3-1 win at Hindmarsh
Stadium on Saturday but he was also at the centre of the highly
controversial incident which resulted in Wellington defender Ben Sigmund
being sent off.
Replays looked damning after Neumann tumbled in the box
following a nudge on his leg from behind by last defender Sigmund and
the incident is certain to be reviewed by the A-League's match review
committee on Monday.
Under the league's rules on simulation introduced two seasons
ago, players can be punished if a dive results in a red card or penalty
and Neumann could be hit with the standard two-match ban.
That was the penalty served by former Central Coast Argentine
import Patricio Perez and ex-Perth striker Michael Baird, who were
banned for diving incidents in the 2010/11 season and remain the only
players to have fallen victim to the policy.
The Phoenix have appealed Sigmund's red card but it will automatically be rescinded if Neumann is found guilty."
