Is this something new? For years we've had players 'taking one for the team' by intentionally fouling and taking a booking (when teams break and there's limited cover for example)
In this case it was timewasting. Keepers do it quite often (and rightly get booked)
Now you can be charged, as well as receive a booking/suspension? Seems a bit harsh.

Geoffrey Kondogbia charged for intentional booking

There have been a few cases in recent years. Sergio Ramos also being looked at for the same offence this week, and I think an English player (maybe Beckham?) did similar a few years ago. It is quite subjective, with punishment more likely if the player owns up to it in the media or on social media.

I think the issue is that he deliberately got booked so that he would miss the return leg rather than a game further on in the competition. I'm glad he has been charged if that's the case. I remember Beckham cheating in similar circumstances.

Another form of bending the rules.

If in 'the balance of all probability' it can be shown that the player's intention was not to waste time within the context of the actual game, but to take a booking for the underlying reason of creating a meaningless suspension, the administrators are within their rights to consider the underlying reasons, and come to the conclusion that this was an act not within the laws of the game. In theses circumstances it is likely that the test is 'in the opinion of the administrators', and their opinion is final. (Admin pricks)
No different to what compliance officers do on a weekly basis.

The ref deals with it at the time through a card, adds extra time if he feels it deserves it. Case closed.
I didn't realise there was a Ramos incident and I cant recall Beckhams incident. TBF I don't recall much about him in an England top. A free kick against Greece and Ronaldo getting him sent off. That's about it

If they really feel he got himself booked intentionally..surely, as well as being fined, the best punishment would to be rescind the booking! :)

At the time the commentators made it seem like it was a big blow to Valencia, but it was quite clearly the perfect suspension to get it out the way.

Gary O'Connor definately did it at Hampden on the Saturday prior to Scotland then flying out for an away game. Getting himself a one game ban preventing him from flying out.

Michael O'Neill did it playing for us at Tynecastle. He was one booking away from a ban and was due to go in for surgery the next again week.
He got himself booked in the dying minutes of the game so that the ban would take effect whilst he was out recovering.

Sergio Ramos has done it at least twice. Blatantly throwing the ball away is his usual method, ref always gives a yellow.
