I never said "all the fans" were calling for him to be banned. There were certainly two (hence the plural).Not one said he should be banned for "it".
He has been like a Jenga tower this season, and has spent quite a lot of time simulating - that's without even taking that particular penalty incident into account.
There's no place for it in the game and it should be dealt with retrospectively by a panel in the same way that they do for violent conduct or whatever - if they chose, hypothetically, to punish any of our players for persistent simulation, it would be collateral damage for the greater good.
Enough valid points have been raised around it, but there's no point making a straw man about how all the "fans" are calling for him to be banned for winning a penalty.
And the only straw man "argument" here is an unwillingness to say whether that particular moment yesterday was a dive, whether there was contact or whether you aren't certain, whilst suggesting that he's been simulating all season & hinting that it was.
Are you saying it was definitely a dive yesterday?
