I think Russ thinks we only want Ronaldo punished.
As well as a retrospective system like yours I'd love to see the following...
To reduce pressure on the ref I think there should be a third ref watching the screen/video evidence. The referee has already stopped play by blowing the whistle. The attacker has lost his advantage at this stage as the 'fouled' player is rolling on the floor holding his knee. The referee on the pitch can confer with the referee watching the video and within a few minutes you get a decision. It's either a penalty or a yellow card if the guy dived to try and con the ref.
I get embarrased when I see Drogba roll around on the floor after being tapped on his shoulder. It shouldn't happen. A cheat is a cheat irregardless of the shirt you're wearing in my opinion.
