"The only way you're going to resolve the simulation is with a one-match ban. I would like to see a review panel, which meets on a weekly basis, and where acts of simulation are not dealt with by referees, they should be flagged, and a review panel should take a retrospective approach to punish. If they continue to get away with it, they're going to do it."
"Brighton were recently handed a penalty against Crystal Palace in the Premier League when Georginio Rutter was brought down inside the penalty area. However, VAR decided to overturn the penalty upon reviewing the incident. It appeared that Rutter came up with a clear dive inside the area. Initially, the referee decided to punish Jaydee Canvot for his foul on the Brighton attacker, but upon review, it was evident that the Brighton star was playing for the decision."
Brighton were initially awarded a penalty after Georginio Rutter was brought down in the box, but VAR overturned the decision upon review. Replays showed Rutter appeared to dive to win the penalty, and the referee's initial decision to punish Jaydee Canvot was reversed. Keith Hackett called for stronger sanctions, arguing yellow cards are insufficient and proposing a weekly review panel and retrospective punishments including one-match bans for simulation. Hackett warned that minimal contact currently incentivizes players to go to ground. Crystal Palace welcomed the overturned penalty, and Rutter faces criticism to avoid repeating simulation.
