Jacques Cousteau?

I havent seen a player get booked for diving for ages. Refs have stopped doing it

Correct, it's being encouraged.

Kane or Grealish

I've just posted a question to Atkinson in the Post-match thread as to what level of encouragement it gives players who don't get booked. The Whistling Wankers might not give the pen, VAR might overrule them, but no booking? Oh, well, I might just try my luck in another five minutes if he's not booking me. If Ferny gets booked for a foul, Martial should be booked for something that a lot of fans regard as far worse than a foul. The PL and FA drive to eradicate this blatant cheating from the game has just gone the same way as booking people who don't retire immediately ten yards from a free kick. They just can't be arsed.

This is a big bug-bear of mine.

If it's not your throw in or free kick then back the fuck up and let the other team get on with it. The sad thing is because there's no punishment, it's then seen as you need to do it. It's such an easy one to fix also.

Their game plan is about playing for pens. That’s it.

The cheating twats can’t even dive properly now.

It's a toss up between referees' incompetence or referees' indifference!

I’ve seen Sergio & Raheem booked when they’ve been cleaned out.

Was so obvious today. Embarrassing he wasn’t booked for it.

Jacques Cousteau and Tom Daley on the same thread? Blue Moon at its finest! ;-))

To be fair, they're fucking good at it.
