Keith Hackett in todays Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/11/16/video-technology-helping-referees-can-only-be-considered-a-good/ "I would eventually like to see reviews for more than just controversial goals, penalties, red cards and cases of mistaken identity, but I can...

I’m not disputing much of what you say either. I 100% agree the diving and cheating needs to be stamped out, but IMO it needs to be done with retrospective reviews, followed by a CLOBBERING punishment for the perp, particularly repeat offenders. Now you could argue this doesn’t benefit the...

I agree with you on this. I have less of a problem with decisions being made on the basis of line calls (was the ball out, did it cross the line, was the foul inside or outside the area). That's pretty much a black and white decision. But offsides, fouls, dives, perceived playacting...those...

It'll never eliminate it. What they should be doing (and should've done years ago) is use video evidence to retrospectively punish the divers and cheaters when it really is blatant enough to see that they've conned the ref. Mandatory 3 match ban, +1 for all future offences. That'll soon get the...

Its a horrible can of worms. Line calls are one thing, because they're pretty much black and white. But so many decisions in football are subjective and borderline. Its fine if there's been a BLATANT foul, or something obvious that's been missed. But what about the multitude of incidents which...
