As well as an additional 3 match ban for Balotelli for the red card he should have gotten against Arsenal for the legbreaker on Song against Arsenal.

As some cards should be awarded based on post-match video review, some cards should be rescinded as well, of course.

A 3 match ban for every dive, doubling with each offence. I've never met a football fan yet who disagrees with that. Get with it FIFA, you bloody geriatric dinosaurs, you!
