Well. I am not a Celtic supporter. But even I felt sorry for them on Tuesday, when Juventus were given a penalty for a dive. That has happened and can't now be changed.
However, diving is getting more and more common all the time. And something has to be done to stop it increasing even more.
What can you think of to stop diving?
I have come up with a few ideas. The first, and most likely to be implemented, is the use of video replays. That would let the refs view incidents from several perspectives and let them see the incident again and in slow motion. The second is for awarded penalties to be checked after the match by an un-attached body. If the penalty was a penalty, fine no action would be awarded. But if it was a dive, then the player who dived would be given a post match yellow card. If the penalty was given and the resulting goal (if they manage to score that is) was a match winner, then the the diver would be given a post-match red card.
Yes it is drastic. But something has to be done to stop the increasingly wide spread problem of cheating. For some other things players get punished after the match. Cheating ruins good games and can prevent the better team from winning. It can also cause tension between teams. Leicester and Derby were almost fighting because of Robbie Savage's dive. It could have led to several players from both sides being disciplined. All because one player cheated.
It might be to crude a method. But I do think that players would be less inclined to dive if they faced a yellow or red card after the match, after having the incident reviewed on video.
Can anyone else come up with a better idea? What do you think about post match booking?

Gah, and here was me coming into the thread thinking someone else liked scuba diving. Football, gah.
Every other country but England do this, post match bookings would definently stop players from diving and maybe even a second referee to cover angles and then goings on with 'action' behind the referees back would become a thing of the past?

i read everything to do with football in this forum. I more or less ignore all the other topics...
Thank you Ortega. At least I know that someone reads my topics.
If they can fine and suspend players for violent conduct after the game (elbowing,headbutting, spitting(vieria style!)) surly they should do the same for diving? Its blatent cheating.
Come on there must be more people out there!
Yeah post match bookings would work
