I didn't say that at all. What's happened to your comprehension skills? I said it should be a straight red for a blatant dive but with many con artists in the game you need video replays to catch the real sneaky ones. We've seen cases where contact looks minimal but on a replay you see a player has been clipped and a penalty should be awarded but the ref waves on. We've seen it happen to us plenty of times. You need video replays for this. Gary Neville explained this issue perfectly. It's not an easy one to rule on unless the ref is 100% it was a dive with no contact.
