Leeds v Cardiff Ref. 16:38 - Aug 6 with 569 views | Wickets | We do a lot of moaning about refs as footie fans but thought the one in the above game today was very very good . Leeds players threw themselves to the ground in the penalty box numerous time with the home fans shrieking for a penalty he stood firm and rightly so . |  | | |  |
Leeds v Cardiff Ref. on 16:39 - Aug 6 with 548 views | Mullet | Should have booked Leeds players for cheating a lot more, but that aside I agree. He was great when many refs would have been bullied by the crowd. |  |

He did well to not give penalties for the incessant Leeds cheating in the box |  |

Give refs the power to flag things for post match review. Particualrly diving incidents. I understand their reluctance to card people for things that could be genuine stumbles, or slight contact etc. Hard to be certain that itw as a deliberate piece of cheating. But lets have a blue card which simply means "no foul, no card for diving, but I will review afterwards and issue retrospective yellow if I deem it a clear dive". |  | |  |

Shouldn't even need the referee to make any reference to it during the match. The fourth official should make a note (and the ref could tell them to if they wish as well). Then footage of each incident can be reviewed and a points system similar to that from yellow cards (or in conjunction with it) leads to a ban. At the moment all that happens is certain players get a reputation for it and are less likely to have the decision go for them. |  |
