FA to raise video replays issue
FA badge
The Football Association is set to lobby Fifa for the introduction of video replays to identify and punish players guilty of diving.

Football's world governing body is set to meet in March and the FA hopes to raise the issue then.

"We've already asked Fifa to allow retrospective punishments and we will ask again," said an FA spokesman.

"We want to convince them it's in the interests of fairness and the image of the game."

The spokesman added: "Whether it will be a formal item for discussion or any other business kind of thing we really don't know at this moment in time.

"We are the only nation pursuing this."
