Striker Shaun Miller could be facing a two-match ban after Carlisle United this morning confirmed The FA had charged him with "successful deception of a match official".

The incident relates to the penalty United were awarded in the first half of Tuesday night's 3-3 draw with Wycombe when Miller went down under a challenge from Wycombe defender Daniel Scarr.

Explaining the new offence of "successful deception of a match official", which has come into effect for the first time this season, The FA's explanation of the rule says: "Where there is clear and overwhelming evidence to suggest a match official has been deceived by an act of simulation, and as a direct result, the offending player’s team has been awarded a penalty and/or an opposing player has been dismissed, The FA will be able to act retrospectively under its fast track system.

"A panel consisting of one ex-match official, one ex-manager and one ex-player will be asked to review all available video footage of the incident independently of one another and then advise The FA as to whether they believe it was an offence of ‘successful deception of a match official’.

"Only in circumstances where the panel are unanimous would The FA charge the individual concerned."

"In accepted and/or proven cases of simulation and/or feigning injury, the offending player would receive a two-match suspension," The FA adds.

Carlisle this evening confirmed that they had appealed this decision.

Footage of the penalty incident shows Wycombe's Sam Saunders responding angrily to referee Scott Duncan's decision to award the spot-kick, although it also shows little United penalty appeals.
