Wenger wants independent diving panel

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants to see an independent diving panel set up in order to issue retrospective suspensions for diving. The issue has been prominent after a number of high-profile incidents involving Chelsea players. Wenger says the panel should be made up of people with "experience in the game" to punish "obvious cases". "I am against diving, but the only way players will stop doing it is if they can get punished," Wenger said. Wenger believes naming the guilty players alone "doesn't work" and there is a need to hand out bans following the examination of video evidence. "We should punish after the game," added the Frenchman. "The problem will be to decide when it was obvious diving or not. That is a big issue and sometimes it is not obvious."
