Well, MOTD highlighted it last night quite rightly IMO - they couldn't really ignore it though I guess.
I was hugely embarrassed by one of our own - Pocognoli - doing one of the more exaggerated, just to make it worse. Terrible, Poco
WhyTF do players do this? What's the solution?
Personally I think if the refs aren't able to control it (and by all evidence they aren't - their consistency is non existent), managers/clubs should be punished retrospectively AS WELL AS players. It's a huge problem that's getting worse seemingly by the week; it's spoiling the game and needs to be dealt with urgently.
