Eduardo handed 2 match ban for diving. What's your view?

Posted by Zain at 01:42 PM on September 01, 2009

The inevitable has happened. UEFA have handed Eduardo a two match ban which will result in the Croation striker missing Arsenal's trip to Belgium against Standard Liege and the home tie against Olympiacos. The official statement of UEFA read:

"The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body today examined the case of the Arsenal FC player Eduardo 'for deceiving the referee' during the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg match on 26 August against Celtic FC, and has suspended the player for two UEFA club competition matches."

Arsenal will now be given 3 days to decide and appeal against the decision.

So what is your view of this outrageous ban? I mean come on! Ronaldo, the greatest diver ever... Was he ever banned for diving? Hell no! Yet just once an Arsenal player dives and he is banned for two games. Isn't that sheer discrimination?

This is bull!!! Its always arsenal who gets isolated. Look at the "Worlds PLayer of the Year" Ronaldo, He commits like 2 dives per game, And nothing happens to him!! prolly cause hes Worlds player of the year. No one also saw Ashley Youngs 2 dives which were both given as penalties and Both were scored. NOOO arsenal have to be the first because no one likes arsenal.

LOl are you serious? IF you hate eduardo then you hate arsenal, cause a true fan supports his team no matter what. Look at West Ham, Carlton Cole's Back pass helped totenham equalise, BUt his fans didnt want him out, instead they supported him, as he had a decent game. SO SUPPORT EVERYONE OR DONT SUPPORT!!!!
