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?

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