I don't think the answer is to train refs better i feel like that is already being done its just a really tough job.
What they should do at least for big games is just have a centralized booth that can radio into the ref. They can get the goal line decisions in seconds. I'm sure a snap judgement for a blatant dive could be done relatively quick. Especially if the ref blows for a penalty and while everyone argues and gets set up have the review team go over it real quick and say "no yellow card for a dive"
But the area for me is too grey. How are you going to decided how much contact is too much. Or if i guy gets nudged in the back and goes down...like he dove...but there was very slight contact...but not enough to make him go down...or was it....
2 games is way too harsh though
