Welling player charged for feigning injury

Afternoon Delight

Absolutely no problem with this as Kabba clearly was not touched, however will the FA be so quick to issue a three match ban when it's a high profile player? Let's hope so.

The bloke deserves it, no excuse for that sort of cheating. Unless it's against Palace.

All well charging a Welling United player but lets see if they have the balls to do it to a Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal player.

Shame the pic on the BBC article makes it look like a CAFC player is the one in question!

In theory it should happen far more often in the premier league as a) feigning injury is encouraged, even taught, in the premier league and b) there are more cameras and more chance of getting a decent shot of the alleged offence.

In practise, I doubt it will be used that often. Imagine the shitstorm if, in addition to unwittingly luring his medical team onto the pitch and leaving Chelsea down to 9 men, Hazard also then picked up a 3 match ban for feigning injury!. Mourinho would explode, which would certainly make for some entertaining telly!

According to Mourinho,there was nothing wrong with Hazzard,
so he thought he was feigning injury ?
