​FA considers retrospective diving bans

The Football Association is looking at introducing retrospective bans to English football for players who dive or feign injury.

Officials will go on a fact-finding trip to Scotland, where retrospective bans are already used.

In England, players are currently only given retrospective bans for incidents of violent conduct.

According to a report in Tuesday's Times newspaper, senior figures at the FA are keen to press ahead with the move.
