So Jack didn't headbutt Stokes or Broadfoot and red cards are revoked and life goes on. The referee and linesman in each instance made a call on something they didn't see as proven by the fact it didn't happen. They assumed the honesty of the 'injured' player rolling in agony and clutching his face. You're not just cheating a fellow pro and affecting his career, you're cheating all the fans and the sport. The SFA can dish out retrospective action against Alves for something missed by the ref. How about the same for Broadfoot and a mandatory 12 match suspension introduced into the rules for feigning injury, lying and cheating.

I think kfraser is making the point that players are cheating the officials to gain unfair advantages, regardless of who they play for.

There should be a heavy penalty for players found guilty of "conning" officials in football and I hope it would reduce the rolling around that we see in every game these days.

Rob, a certain incident with Kyle Lafferty?

Oh you mean the one when he did the exact same as Broadfoot except Lafferty was retrospectively punishes for? Aye that one.

That’s now two players vs Ryan Jack that have actually cheated ( no other way to put it than cheating) in order to have their fellow professional banned. The fact the red cards have been rescinded shows they cheated, but no punishment goes their way.

Lafferty was just as bad but he was punished. Stokes and egg coupon Kirk should have been banned also.

Kfraser we’ve had players over the years that have got opposition players sent off so be careful what you say.
