They already are. In the past premiership refs have been demoted to lower league games after bad performances.

during the United game at the end Rio have a minor bit of contact on the keeper with a shoulder barge.. although it was more like bumping into someone while walking down the street.. the keeper went down adn then asked for treatment ??? he fell on the grass and there was no real contact anyway.. anyone who knows anything about football or even real life knows he was acting but he was still allowed to get away with it

how cn any ref believe he was injured and needed treatment ?
Unforunately you never know.

A few years ago I was playing in my usual midfield general role and I slide in to tackle a player, won the ball and I thought there was very little contact. That player went down and was rolling around in pain, I told him to get up as did some other of my teammates who thought he was playacting as it seemed an innocuous challange. It turned out that whatever way he fell he ruptured his ACL.
