Ex Referees Calls for Three Match Ban for Paris Saint Germain Star Neymar and Others

• Two former referees have called for stricter sanctions for players who dive during football matches
• Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar was called out for simulation as he has been accused of easily going to ground
• Neymar has constantly been accused for diving during matches and was recently sent off for simulation in Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar could risk getting banned for up to three matches if he gets caught diving in football matches in the future.

That’s the law being proposed by two former referees who believe FIFA and football authorities should clamp down harder on players who are found guilty of simulation.

According to Sportskeeda, Des Roache has claimed that footballers should get a three-match ban while Steve Conroy has called out PSG superstar Neymar as the biggest diver in the game.

“The paradox is that while the on-field punishment is a yellow, players can land a two-game ban if they are subsequently sanctioned. I agreed it should be a red card for diving AND a three-game ban. It is vile, and we have to try to get rid of it.

“Neymar is the worst exponent on the planet. I don’t know how any ref can give him a decision.”

Neymar was recently sent off for diving in a Ligue 1 game against Strasbourg before storming out of the Parc des Princes as he made a humiliating return to PSG after the World Cup.
