The use of improved technology would ensure players like Essien spend as little time on the pitch as possible.

the trouble with things like that is how do you deal with that during a game.. do you let the game go on while a TV ref watches the replays and then if he should be sent off talk to ref over a mike and the ref gives him a red card ? but then what happens if that player scores ?
do you stop the game.. if so what incidents do you stop the game for and for how long ?
after the tackle Hamann was injured and lied down on the pitch and waited for treatment. he didn't roll around on the floor 15 times going "aarrrggggg" and after the tackle he could still go on.. so how can after a slight bit of contact can a player roll over 90 times from side to side.. the reactions of a player when they are on the ground can tell you alot about whether they are diving or not
