then gets up to take a quick free kick to try to catch Bournemouth out. Surely that is gamesmanship and a yellow card?

Not if you are in a top 6 team it's not. Sort of thing the pundits will claim is smart game play.

It’s out of order and just takes things too far which is typical of younger generation.

He’s some player. We won’t mind if he’s doing it whilst winning something for England.

Standard play at the top level. Let's not pretend we haven't had players go down easily, seek to gain advantage, appeal for a corner when they know full well it isn't.

I think there is a world of difference laying down holding a body part feigning injury and suddenly jumping up to take a quick free kick in order to try to catch the opposition out. It is clear gamesmanship whereas what you quote are considered par for the course and presumably top level referees are now so used to it that they take no consideration at all of player reactions in those situations.
