Strange...

Further to Thursday's post, what I don't understand about UEFA's punishment of Eduardo for diving in Arsenal's match against Celtic is that, had the referee seen it as a dive, it seems to be accepted that the punishment would have been a yellow card. But UEFA have banned him for two matches - effectively giving him a red card. So it seems your punishment depends not on what you did, but on whether it was spotted at the time or not. Can't see the sense in that.
