It's an English conspiracy to keep the big 4 dominant in Europe.
Rooney has been diving for years now- and did it twice in one week after the Edwardo incident- and nothing happened!

Eduardo ban overtuned on appeal. The right decision. If they want to card him retroactively, all well and good, but the proposed two match ban was a sham. Good to see UEFA get this right in the end.
That was a cowardly decision made by UEFA ,they have to make a stand against the likes of Wengar pressurising them in to stupid decisions .. Shame full , opens the dfoor to every dive merchant [ cheat ] in the game ....

I saw your thoughts in the other thread regarding this. If the concern is that the overturn opens the gates for future dives (and I agree that Eduardo dove), then UEFA should put a provision in place that, going forward, those caught 'diving', 'attempting to deceive the official', however they want to word it, face the potential of a match ban.
Producing a ban for what has heretofore been merely a bookable offense is what many have objected to. The blame on UEFA in this case doesn't rest on the fact that they've overturned the decision and therefore followed the guidelines set forth, but that they didn't have sufficient guidelines for discouraging or dealing with this sort of thing in the first place.

They DO have in place a provision for players attemting to deceive the ref...
"Article 10, para 1c of the UEFA disciplinary regulations (Misconduct of players): Players may be suspended for two competition matches, or for a specified period, for acting with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision or supporting his error of judgement and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision."
from Uefa.com
It's amazing how many people without a clue have very vociferous opinions on things, without actually knowing the rules.
Having read the relevant regulation and rereading the post of yours quoted, do you now believe that the 2 game ban was justified?

Seeing as UEFA was justified in handing down the two match ban, why do you suppose they rescinded it upon appeal?
