"Time will tell whether it's the start of a change of culture, or whether it's a perfect recipe for a governing body to risk losing trust from the people they are here to serve."
"A third layer of refereeing has now been implemented. All clubs have witnessed similar incidents in games, which haven't resulted in retrospective bans."
"Do I applaud a governing body that does everything they can to strike down against players, in principle, who try to win advantages by acting cynically or dishonestly? Yes, I most certainly do."
Callum Slattery received a four-game ban for simulation, raising concerns about consistency in punishment from the Scottish FA. Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou emphasized the need for a cultural shift in football, warning that inconsistent enforcement could erode trust among players and clubs.

Askou supports efforts to combat dishonesty in the sport but questions whether this decision will lead to meaningful change or merely serve as a lesson.
