What Niasse did wrong imo was overdo /exagerate the way he went down but is that a reason to get him banned for 2 games for cheating? If he hadn't done the theatrical bit maybe he wouldn't have got the foul. which was probably warranted.

We hear all too often things like yes he nudged him , he did make contact etc etc but was it enough for a penalty? Even last night we saw Sterling fouled twice in the box ( one where he was effectively thrown to the floor) but it was deemed not enough! Shortly afterwards he got pushed over outside the box and a foul was given immediately! Surely a foul is a foul.


Until officials grow some bollocks this will continue. They are afraid to give "soft" fouls in the area.

A foul is a foul and that should be the line.
