I agree with you, Drewks. And I don't think that it's all that difficult for a ref to get confused at pitch level. You see a lot more at pitch level than up in the stands.
The problem's been around since Sky and the Johnny Foreigners brought the tricks over. (I'm not being UKIP, I'm saying how it is!!!)
Refs have had 20 years or so to really crack down, and they've made backward progress - same with set-piece wrestling, same with abusing the ref. If the refs declared war on the cheats and primadonnas from Day 1 - next week - Managers would have to get players to change their ways, or face half their team playing with yellow cards.
The crackdown should ALSO apply to the Big Clubs.
