Time to wave goodbye to the diving cheats

A very interesting article from the Daily Mail about getting rid of diving and other nefarious tactics from the game. If they can review video for cards to be revoked, then surely they can find people who are deliberately diving and punish them accordingly.

It's a little interesting that Sir Bobby Charlton is a supporter of the project though, considering that Ronaldo is one of the biggest culprits.

I'm also glad that they're trying to stop the practice of players kicking the ball out of play when an opponent is down - it got totally out of hand at the World Cup, and I wouldn't want to see it continue. It's fair enough if it looks as if someone is seriously injured, but they were kicking the ball out just for someone suffering from cramp.
