Should the penalty for diving be a red card or even more severe?
If you think about it, Mclean's dive could of potentially meant that Green gets sent off and penalty awarded, giving them a 0-2 advantage and giving us no hope of getting back into the game. He gets away with a yellow card. |  | | |  |

Getting backed up on this issue by Martin Samuel. Absolutely spot on...
McClean's dirty dive was a despicable act!
"QPR won and so the incident fades into insignificance, but James McClean’s dive during Monday night’s play-off second leg was one of the most despicable acts of the season.
His team, Wigan Athletic, were leading 1-0 when McClean went through one on one in the first half.
He tapped it wide of goalkeeper Rob Green and then threw himself to the ground, as if taken out.
Fortunately, Mark Clattenburg, the referee, spotted this and showed him a yellow card. Had McClean succeeded he would have won a penalty, probably ending the contest at 2-0, and Green would have been sent off.
There is no way QPR could have recovered.
In those circumstances, a booking hardly seems sufficient.
Deceit of such a nefarious nature, with far-reaching intended consequences, could easily be worthy of red."
