Dive bar
So, Mejuto Gonzalez thought Eduardo had been fouled by Artur Boruc, the Celtic keeper, and gave a penalty. Did Eduardo dive or did he just fall over? It looks like the powers at UEFA will dish out a ban for the tumbling Arsenal striker. What strikes FootballCynic as strange is that if Mejuto had made the right decision and waved play on, Eduardo would not be banned - everyone would have forgotten about it within seconds. Mejuto has had a bumpy year or two - only a year ago, he sent off the wrong player after a nasty incident in a Barcelona league match. FootballCynic is sure UEFA can do better though. How about a ban for a corner-kicker if a goal results when the ball is just outside the quadrant? Or, a touchline ban if a manager shouts an instruction that changes a game when 1 yard outside their allocated area?
