Ex-refs chief: Amine Adli should be banned after 'unacceptable' Bournemouth moment vs Ipswich

Former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett calls for independent panel to ban players for simulation after Adli's dive in Bournemouth's 2-1 win at Ipswich.

Bournemouth defeated Ipswich Town 2-1 at Portman Road, with goals from Evanilson and Leif Davis putting Marco Rose's side 2-0 up before Jack Clarke pulled one back from the penalty spot.

In added time, Bournemouth midfielder Amine Adli drew a free-kick by going to ground after minimal contact from Julio Enciso, who merely grazed his chest. Replays showed Adli had exaggerated the contact significantly, deceiving referee Simon Hooper.

Former FIFA referee and ex-head of PGMOL Keith Hackett told Football Insider the incident was "unacceptable" and called for authorities to establish an independent panel with the power to suspend players for a minimum of one match when simulation occurs. Hackett argued the problem extends beyond the Premier League to grassroots football, where young referees face pressure from parents due to such unfair play.
