Also what would have happened for the penalty decision United got? It was niether a penalty or a dive, so how would you restart the match? If the ball had fallen to an attacking player after the tackle and the referee had blown the whistle to check if it was a penalty it's hardly fair to stop the play and then restart from a drop ball as they have lost any advantage they had. There's too many problems with systems like these for it to work without causing issues in my opinion.

It's very difficult isn't it? I've always thought one of the best things to do would be to have the referees wear a microphone. If it didn't make the players realise how stupid they frequently look then at least the tv companies would have to put a stop to the petulance/bad language.
