I could start a new thread on this subject, BUT, the main problem today is that officials have left it far too late to change what players habits are.

We have divers in the box, we have foul tackles that can break players careers, and we have goal line clearances, this is part of football.

But many years ago we had tough officials, who would not mess about with players, no matter who they were, if they deserved to be sent off they would go.

At the weekend l have seen diving, serious fouls and balls that have supposed to have crossed the line, what is needed is we have to have another referee sitting in the ground in front of a Tv screen, who can tell the referee in seconds what is happening, Its like the disgraceful behaviour of Niel Lennon of Celtic having a go at the referee, after walking on the pitch.

The FA and SFA have got to get tough with players and clubs before, players will think that they are god and can get away with it. At the moment it is farcical, l gave up being a ref, due to the fact that players and clubs think they can get away with it.
