Football Cheats

I am not a great football fan but having †˜recentlyâà ƒÆ’¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€ žÂ¢ watched a few games I amazed at the amount of †˜cheatingâà ƒÆ’¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€ žÂ¢ that goes on. It seems that a player cannot tackle another player without one falling over claiming a free kick. Often the player goes down in total agony and when you watch the replay there was no contact. A good example was when one play went down holding his head rolling around in pain and the replay showed there was no contact to the head. Often goals are scored from free kicks that were won by cheating. Why does football not have a video referee to spot such things including off side. Often the TV instantly plays back an off side and states that was a wrong decision by the referee !!! Such play should just continue and if a goal is scored just go back to the video refree for confirmation. As with divingââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦ÃƒÂ¢Ã ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã‚¦Ã ƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã ‚¦.if a player claims a free kick quickly check if the was bad contact and if so award it. The amount of abuse the poor referee takes is surprisingââ ¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦ÃƒÂ¢Ã ƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã‚¦ †¦..maybe if some of the decision making was taken and player knew they could not cheat they would get more respect and the game would flow better because people would play better and stop diving all over the place and slowing the game down that way !!!
