Alan... my point exactly from above. The diving rule is not just not effective for most calls as the ref has to make judgement calls from poor angles most times.

At the risk of... you know... there was a chance for Renaldo late and he flubbed it. The camera followed him back, wincing and limping in severe pain... more bullshit from the wimp. Diving and faking seem to be a part of the game which will never go away until rules for video review and for coach challenges (VERY controversial) are put in place.

It has worked with a fair degree of effectivness in Yankee football. But, the Yanks are usually ahead of any curve.
