But what they do is they become blind when the decision goes their way, when their player takes a dive, right?
And they justify this by saying, well, if I come out afterwards and I admit, yeah, we got lucky because so-and-so took a dive.
First of all, the player is going to hate me because he says next time it's going to be harder for me to get a penalty when I am fouled.
Secondly, referees are going to be like, aha, I admitted, this guy admitted that his player dived.
So that's going to come into their heads, right?
Do you buy this explanation?
So you're right, either Inter have to ban him or he can play the next game.
So they used to have a policy like they had here in England.
I don't think they still have it in England except for certain cases where...
if you are found to have taken a dive in judgment, there was a case years ago which totally infuriated Arsene Wenger.
I forget who it was.
Yeah, that rings a bell.
But basically, they could go back and they could ban you retroactively.
They said with the introduction of VAR, they said, well, this is no longer needed.
No longer needed because there was a can of worms because, you know, you use it.
The most egregious cases like this one are very obvious.
And you could also say he's bringing the game into disrepute by celebrating.
But there were a lot of kind of minor ones where it is more of a judgment call, right?
So they said, let's just shift this all to VAR and let them sort it out.
I would like to see a little amendment.
