Players in England found to have deceived officials through simulation will now receive a suspension, but the Crystal Palace boss is not a fan
Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce has slammed the new rule that allows the Football Association (FA) to retrospectively punish players for simulation from next season, describing it as "utter rubbish".
Following a ruling by the FA Council, a panel of one ex-match official, one former manager and one ex-player will review footage and advise whether an offence has been committed, with a player charged in cases where the trio reach unanimous agreement.
Retrospective action can be taken when an alleged offence has been missed by the referee and resulted in a penalty, a red card or a second yellow card, with the punishment a two-match ban.
