Burnley boss Sean Dyche wants to see wider use of retrospective bans for diving: 'There should be action for all over the pitch... If you're going to do it right and clean it up, then clean it up'

Burnley boss Sean Dyche wants to see retrospective bans 'all over the place and all over the pitch' if the Football Association are to effectively eradicate diving from the game.

Everton's Oumar Niasse became the first Premier League player to be banned for successful deception of a referee after he won a penalty against Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Only one other player in the Football League has suffered a similar fate since the rule was introduced in the summer - Carlisle striker Shaun Miller.

Although Dyche absolved Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey of blame over the stoppage-time spot-kick which downed the Clarets on Sunday, he remains a staunch and vocal critic of so-called simulation.
