Quote:

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.


So the review only applies if the dive leads to a penalty or a sending off... but it's a start.

SMART.


That's a huge step for the FA.

I like the limited purview in year one.

Get the basics down, handle the instances with the biggest impact, then expand as necessary.

You want to stop diving? Two things.

Reward the player who is fouled in the area but who stays on their feet to get a shot off. The problem is the player who stays up while being fouled doesn't get the PK. Too often the referee plays a silent advantage and would say that they gave the player the chance. That's a crock. USSF has long said the only advantage in the PA is a ball in the back of the net. So the player who stays up doesn't get rewarded. As a result they go down too easy hoping for the reward.

Second, emphasize carding players who dive. Some refs are fairly consistent about it. Mike Dean and Clattenberg do it regularly. But it's hard to see in real time. The VAR system is not set up to look at this. Let it. And if the VAR sees an obvious dive, buzz through the referee and let him administer the card. Start catching them in the act and they will stop it fast enough.
