I do however fully agree with what you are saying. Commentators claim they 'Maybe' went over a little too easy when its as clear as day a dive right in front of you.

They do zoom in and find the tiniest bit of contact that somehow send the player flying across the penalty box! Diving should be a straight red card but it seems its now acceptable in the game.
Does anyone remember playing Touch Rugby at school. It's the version where so you don't get injured or hurt you play the girls version and just have to touch someone for a tackle. Sometimes I feel like that is what they are doing with football now.

Why do refs have to make that stupid arm waving gesture if there isn't a penalty. They have a whistle they can blow if there is a pen and if it isn't blown you play on.

I'm definately sure the commentators are told to toe the line and say this or that is a foul or pen even though they've played the game and know what they are saying is a lie. It's a shame no one stands up and actually says the truth.

There are some younger people who have only ever seen the game played like it is today which is a very sad state of affairs and is starting to make me lose my love of the game
