Just noticed this headline for an article by Daniel Taylor in the Guardian (17th September) - opening sentence states that "David Moyes has called for restrospective action to be taken against players who dive after admitting the problem is now so widespread that the Manchester United manager cannot guarantee whether Ashley Young will take on board his latest warning to eradicate it from his game."
That worked then!

Edit - he actually called for action.

Acrion was a Locrian and a Pythagorean philosopher.[1] He is mentioned by Valerius Maximus[2] under the name of Arion. According to William Smith, Arion is a false reading, instead of Acrion
Swotty git.

Acrion speaks louder than words.
 
Why does he have to 'call for action'? It's a domestic league issue, nothing to do with UEFA or FIFA, as other leagues deploy this exact punishment. For all the media bleating about diving all this shows is we're happy to accept it in England.

For some reason we like to be as reluctant as possible as a nation to do anything about the real issues in the game while being pro-active and decisive on nonsense issues such as players taking their shirts off, supporters standing to watch matches, etc.
