Sigh, there's a parallel universe where Siggy doesn't touch Jeronimo, Paston grabs the ball just before legitimately colliding with him and leaving the little bastard unconscious on the ground. I wanna live in that world.
What about a giant jeronimo doll that we chuck around the fever zone during the game each taking a punch ?
This from the regs..
Need more diving boards. And when he's here we need "10" signs to put up whenever he goes down.

Looking at the regs quoted and this case, the FFA interpretation seems to be that as soon as there is a foul, there can't be simulation, therefore Geronimo gets away with any action after the foul.
There can be simulation without a foul which is a yellow card ? offence.
Lesson: As soon as someone fouls you, dive as you wish, but make sure that you have been touched and the ref sees it
How many steps can you take between the 'foul' and the dive before (as News says) they become seperate incidents. Can a player be tugged on half way then go down 10m later after realising the ball has got away from him, yet it not be called a dive?
There is no way now any one can be done for bring the game into illrepuite so dura and ricki are safe as the FFA have now set a precident for legal proceedings

"If he's dived he's a cheat"
He has not been done for diving,so dura never called him a cheat.
"The linesman didn't do anything"
And quite correctly too according to the MRP. Durante was therefore complimenting the linesman on his fine job.
just an absolute fucking rubbish decision, sure under the rules the panel can't really remove siggy's red, but under those same rtules they could easily ban Jeronimo. This is the win win scenario as they come out saying Siggy you fouled therefore ban stands, Jeronimo - you my friend dived and we cannot accept this in our game, you my son get the same ban as Sigmund - simple, why was this not the decision - oh because its the Wellington team, not the Victory, Sydney FC or the Roar - you know the teams that are allowed to win the league.

Fuck, I'm so pissed off. Fark, let's show those FFA fuckers and win the league.
They would move it to Australia, and hide behind the technicailty that our stadium 'isn't big enough'.

So for me, this is their reasoning taking into account the regs etc.
1) Sigmund received a red, but because he should have been given a yellow (because it was a clear goal scoring opportunity), the MRP couldn't look at the incident. Therefore red and ban stands.
2) Because the appeal is rejected, they can't look at whether he dived.
They would move it to Australia, and hide behind the technicailty that our stadium 'isn't big enough'.
No other federation in the world could possibly hold their grand final in New Zealand with all the information they have at their disposal.

Man i feel like a tool. Ive spent what seems like my whole life defending 'soccer' from people who say its a fag game because of poofter divers. How wrong was I! lulz
As the MRP did not uphold the Obvious Error Application, there was no basis under the Regulations to conduct a post match review for possible Simulation.
THIS is the problem. FFA are you reading this, your authority and respect are a joke.
Fuck, I'm so pissed off. Fark, let's show those FFA fuckers and win the league.
Random thought: Wouldn't it be great if the FFA spent a few bucks and brought in a marquee referee to raise the standard of officiating in the HAL. I reckon someone from The Falkland Islands or Nauru would fit the bill.

Have I got any part of this wrong or has the world actually gone mad?
Its all very
How can the FFA defend spending shitloads on bringing Shinji Ono to the league when they could have invested in better development for referee's with money?
Also, I'm surprised that Siggy didn't get slapped with an extra week on his suspension for a "frivolous appeal", just like Foschini from the Victory got last season.
