Tell the FA that, Oumar Niassie charged by the FA for deception to dive, Misses the Southampton and West Ham games,
made a rod for their own backs.

No fucking way that will happen though.  Ridiculous decision, it's just scapegoating.

It’s certainly clear that MOTD all said it was a dive and we should look at it

Shearer thought he might get away with it as there was contact. But let’s look at the future we now have a benchmark of sorts. Aguero , Sterling Mane and Hazard will all need to be on notice and then there is Bardy

That is my argument..... It was introduced and thus far we appear to have been the first that is “blatant” - I disagree. Simulation occurs all over the pitch. We lost Schneiderlin against City when there was no contact for a second yellow. Where was the simulation review then?

Sterling has dived a number of times outside the box looking for a free kick... what about the Dele Ali dive already spotted this season...

The only consistency is the inconsistency

sky teams will be exempt... the obvious ones will never be pulled up.. sterling, steptoe, ali, aguero, etc...

the FA have really made a serious mistake here.. it wasn't even truly blatant like the diving cheating racist goofy redshite bastard used to do... there will be shouts from the rooftops every game now & they can't ignore them really can they ??

Palace were a whisker away from signing Oumar before weren't they ?...

Former Everton striker Daniel Amokachi says that Oumar Niasse has the spirit to be one of the club’s great goalscorers.

The 27-year-old is back in the first team after being frozen out by Ronald Koeman last campaign and suffered the humiliation of having to play with the U23s before being loaned out to Hull City in January.

However it’s been a change of fortunes for the striker this season, impressing new boss Sam Allardyce with a string of good performances topped with important goals.

And former Blues forward Amokachi believes that Niasse shares a similar desire as Harry Kane to score goals, and explained exactly why.

“If you get a chance and don’t hit the back of the net, then you forget it and focus on the next chance,” Amokachi told evertonfc .com.

“That is what makes Harry Kane one of the best number nines in the world.

“You remember the game against Liverpool at Anfield (when Tottenham Hotspur drew 2-2 with Liverpool earlier this month) - he missed a penalty, another one came in the last minute and he took it and scored.

“That is the kind of spirit Oumar has, and that is what you want to see from a striker.”
