WHILE Fyfe’s head slap on Adrian Trinidad was dumb stuff what’s even more frustrating was Trinidad’s pathetic milking of the penalty.

The absolute worst aspect of the game of football is the widespread tactic of diving to get a penalty.

This should never have become an accepted part of the game.

It is simply a form of cheating.

The FFA need to stamp it out because in a country of sports fans used to Aussie Rules and rugby and league, people watching the theatrics just think it’s a soft, pansy, poofy soccer sport.

Bugger waiting to see what FIFA do or say or what they do in Europe, let’s lead the charge.

Getting rid of the dive is actually really quite easy. Allow a judiciary committee to watch every game and if they see what they think may be a dive then they can charge the player and have a hearing. If the player is found guilty then they can be suspended.

It’s too hard for the referee, during a fast paced game to be able to accurately determine whether the player was legitimately tripped or they are in fact cheating through theatrics.

In some cases it would be hard to conclusively determine that a player has done a dive, fair enough but in others it would be very obvious.

If this system was put in place players would instantly get hte message that cheating isn’t ok and they know they’ll be caught out.
