PULIS WANTS PLAYERS THAT DIVE TO BE BANNED

Only a couple of weeks ago the Northern
Irishman Rodgers felt the need to not only to speak out
publicly about the treatment the Uruguay
international was receiving on the pitch but
also raise the subject with referees' chief Mike
Riley.
In Sunday's goalless draw at home to Stoke,
Suarez went down theatrically in the penalty
area which led to Potters manager Pulis calling
for three-match bans for players who dive.
Defender Robert Huth has, however, escaped
punishment despite appearing to stamp on
Suarez after the Football Association confirmed
the incident was seen by officials at the time
and therefore no further action can be taken.
That has left Rodgers outraged.
"As manager of this football club I find it
incredible that in nearly all the coverage about
Luis Suarez this weekend, very little focus has
been placed on the fact that he was actually
the victim of a stamping incident within the
first five minutes of the game," he told
liverpoolfc.com.
"At this moment there seems to be one set of
rules for Luis and another set for everyone else.
I believe some people need to develop a sense
of perspective and I also believe in this moment
the vilification of Luis is both wrong and
unfair."
