no instant replay – never – its awful
but
i have proposed that if caught on video tape the player should be punished retroactively with a yellow card
just like if you are caught punching someone and they suspend you
thats my idea and i am sticking to it

Bruce: I think that’s a great start. I understand and share your hesitation with regard to replay. I wonder, though, if the retroactive punishment would really act as a deterrent or if players would sacrifice themselves by choosing the immediate gain (a win)…
Makes the case for post match assessment of referee performance. THAT’s the instant replay I’d like to see. I mean that ref was RIGHT there and the lifting of the foot was just classic acting. You know, a lot of sports will assess penalties to players after a competition is concluded based on video evidence. If diving players knew they could be nailed after the fact EVEN if they weren’t carded – maybe they’d think twice before pulling a stunt like this. You don’t want to create a witchhunt atmosphere – but this is BLATANT. How can you not call that a dive to get a PK?

Yes, or perhaps the banning of wimpy, cry-baby strikers would do it as well…
But you repeat yourself…
…and to think, I left out a few.

I think the punishment should go further than a yellow-card. If retro-active it should definitely be a red-card multi-game suspension situation.
I can’t see strikers considering that a worthy sacrifice.
