I can't remember too many occasions last season, or the season before of him diving like Eduardo did

I think it was very easy to get on Ronnies back at times, not to say he didn't make a rod for his own back, but he really tried to clean it up for a couple of seasons, and he took some hits for it, amazed he never got injured.
The Eduardo thing is insane, yes, it was a cronic dive, and I have nothing against a two match ban as long as they are setting a standard that they will stick to. I can't wait for the ECL opening games now. The issue they have here is it is a ban that has come off the back of reviewing the tapes. So now every dubious decision, specifically ones that lead to sendings off and goals, will have to be reviewed.
I dunno if this was something that was planned and he is the unlucky sod to be first or if it just another part in the Balatter/Platini "We Are Sick Of English Teams Doing Well In Europe" ethos..........
