Massive dive by Salah today to win a penalty. I’m sure the FA will again use the power they bragged about introducing to ban him for 3 games.
Don't be silly. It wasn't his fault. They need to ban a Chelsea player or a Leeds player or in actual fact , every player from any English team for 6 years.
Presumably this unwritten rule that you are allowed to go down if there is any form of contact (including initiated by yourself) applies?
Anybody see his second against Bournemouth when the defender intentionally stamped on his Achilles and he still stayed on his feet because he knew he had more chance scoring a one-on-one than a free kick? Still, any sort of hand on him at that pace is enough to unbalance him?
Sad thing is it would send out a real message to give him a very justified ban and see him miss high profile matches against us and City.

Sky Sports News understands Salah's reaction to being pulled back did not reach the required threshold for "attempting to deceive the referee" and so the Egyptian will not face retrospective action.
Wtf
In other words, he didn't do a double somersault into a triple pike
Glad the PL have got their priorities right with clamping down on that scourge on our game of managers kicking water bottles. You can’t go to a grass roots football game without seeing a manage aiming to convert a water bottle into the opposition fans.
Wouldn’t want them wasting their time on things like high profile players cheating to win penalties and points.
