Will the FA take any retrospective punishment for simulation for Vertonghen ? He clearly tried to get Torres sent off by faking an elbow to the head injury. There is talk that Torres 'gouge' will be referred to the FA video panel and he could receive and extra three match ban. Is there a case for Vertonghen's simulation to be referred also ?
 
Wouldn't have any qualms about Torres being banned for that scratch (or whatever it was), as long as Vertonghen also receives punishment.
 
The rules on reviewing punishments only apply to Red Card offences (Serious Foul Play and Violent Conduct) so this can't happen. But didn't both players go down holding their head after the final clash. Suggest that both of them were cheating or neither.

Apart from the fact that Torres did actually get hit in the head twice then they are exactly the same <doh>

I love how Vertoghen evens gets the physio to treat him.....what a disgusting cheat.
 
The game would be a lot better if this sort of simulation stopped and I support retrospective punishment for it. My solution is for the ref to be allowed to ask players what happened in any incident and the laws to require them to give an honest answer. Misleading the ref would be punished retrospectively if evidence was beyond reasonable doubt. But Spurs are no worse than anyone else, in fact Vertonghen coould have reacted more to the scratch if his real intent was to get Torres into trouble.

But what Torres did to Vertonghen should be even more harshly punished - Violent Conduct is a bigger crime than simulation.

So do you think Vertonghen should've been sent off for pushing Torres?
 
they should both get a 10game ban.

Torres.... fukingirlyman

It would be interesting to watch you refereeing a game, if every push was a sending off!

He rose from the floor, charged up to him and pushed him. Completely different from pushing in contact sport which is what you appear to be comparing that to.

Funniest one was totsfan thinking that challenging for an aerial ball is intent to harm and is deserving of a second yellow. Dread to think what his opinions are on shoving somebody!

Yes it is. You don't even have to touch a player but raise them. Dear god, at least know the rules.

From the Laws "A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality
against an opponent when not challenging for the ball.
He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against
a team-mate, spectator, match offi cial or any other person"

Show me the Law that supports your position
