    I would keep VAR for diving and faking injury

    It's the worst part of the game

    Individual mistakes by referees on offside etc are human errors

    The attempt to win a penalty , get an opponent sent off is not a mistake its a calculated decision and not an error

    I would ban them on video evidence

    To lose a game to a ref making a mistake isn't great but it's the way it is

    But to have someone deliberately cheat to gain advantage is the pits

    You will never stop human error

    And you will never stop cheats but it can be drastically reduced if players on var or retrospective evidence are banned

    Rugby authorities cite players weeks later for foul play and ban them

    Agree with the above, I thought that they were meant to review the games and seek out players who dived and ban them like in rugby. link below, so what actually happened to that?

    I agree. I'd gladly see a player banned for 2-3 games for blatent dives. I think it's appalling

    Blatant, yes, where there is absolutely no contact.

    Have VAR and no referee or a referee and no VAR.

    No if there is contact and a player over eggs the effect and does a drama performance then that's cheating too

    Ban

    Ban
    But often things like that are down to opinion. There are grey areas with this. Not to you, I know. You expect a player to be scythed down and just get up and give a handshake.

    That's very rare

    It's the diving after little or no contact that needs stamping out
