I think we should have after game reviews, for what and where the lines are drawn is a complex issue ..... as with many other sports, the result can be changed after the event.

The difficulty with reprimanding people for diving based on video evidence is that it is not conclusive. I've watched many slow motion replays showing a probably dive but even the minutest contact at full pace can lead to a fall. In most instances, you will only irrefutably be able to charge people if you can analyse their through processes at the time, which you can't. Well not yet, as far as I am aware.

The FA only needs the balance of probabilty though, not 100% proof :smile: ..... and just doing a few would strangely see a lot of players staying upright.

I agree with Vegy here (:icon_sorry: ). I think a lot of times players make a meal of the slightest touch BUT there often is a foul there, they just make it look like they were shot. However there have been those you can see on replay that clearly were not touched and I agree that these should be reviewed by the FA and those clearly diving get a ban. And call it cheating not simulation!!!
