Burnley manager Sean Dyche urges the Football Association to toughen its rules and punishments relating to diving players even further.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has urged the Football Association to toughen its rules and punishments relating to diving players even further.

Everton forward Oumar Niasse was given a two-match ban last week after a panel retrospectively charged him with 'successful deception of a match official' during a draw at Crystal Palace.

The Clarets boss believes that the rules should be made even tougher, in order to drive diving out of the game for good "for the kids".

Dyche told Sky Sports News: "I hope retrospective bans are handed out all over the place. For me, they should be all over the place, all over the pitch. If you are going to do it right and clean it up, then clean it up.

"If you look at the rule, it is virtually impossible that someone actually has something happen to them. It has to be a key moment, hardly any touch, if not no touch, it has to be in a danger area, etc. I think they could be more stringent on the rule.

"Think how many games have been played before someone was affected by it. [The] debate on [Niasse], that is not for me to decide. But if you think how many incidents there have been, I think there is more going on in the game than those two incidents [Niasse and Carlisle United's Shaun Miller].

"I think it needs sorting out all over the pitch, I don't believe anyone wants to see it. Maybe I am old fashioned. The moralistic view is to tidy it all up, for the kids. They need to know it is not a game that accepts, let's call it simulation, instead of the word that we know it really is."

At present, action can only be taken in incidents where a penalty has been awarded or a red card issued.
