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

An ideal time would be as the player received treatment - it wouldn't take long for a ref to check the incident as they usually occur in seconds. Perhaps there could be a time limit of, say, 5 seconds for a ref to come to a decision.
