What is strange to me is that if it is so easy for FIGC to review video evidence of diving then why don't they start reviewing every game and start handing out bans to players every weekend that have deemed to dive? Be more consistent at least. If you want to fix this ongoing issue of players that dive like Krasic, then make a point to look for it every weekend.
Yeah, but it's a tricky situation. There's 3 possible situations when a player dives:
- Ref sees it & gives a yellow.
- Ref doesn't see it or isn't sure and nothing (no card, no free kick or penalty) happens.
- Ref gives a foul.
It's only in the 3rd situation where the team gains something. In the other 2 situations there is absolutely no unfair gain, so why would the FIGC need to "make corrections" afterwards? (Besides, if you get a yellow card, I don't think you can even be punished again for the same instance.)
So even though a dive is a dive, it does make some sense that there is a difference in punishment. Even if it is unfair.
Edit: damn I'm slow, JuventinMalti pretty much said the same thing.
