am i right in saying you can only be charged if a penalty is given?
If there is blatant diving anywhere on the pitch and the ref/linesman sees it, then it should be a red card. If they don't see it, then nothing further should happen. The referees panel is corrupt and should be binned.
Its about the stupidest rule ever. Completely impossible to implement objectively.Given and then converted I think. Might be wrong . So basically two identical cheats one misses the pen and one doesn't , only the scored pen will be investigated

the only way to do that is with clear cut cases where absolutely no contact was made before the player begins to fall/dive. Anything else involving contact is subjective because it's impossible to say how much contact is required to make someone go down.Its about the stupidest rule ever.

how often do you hear a pundit say there was contact therefore the striker had a right to fall over. Fouls use to be black and white. You get the ball first it's a tackle, get the man first and it's a foul. Equally players use to stay on their feet.The problem is that; all the FA are doing is closing the stable door decades after the horse has bolted. This going down too easily has become too intrinsic into our game. Like it our not, the Premier League is a closer representation of the global game, than it is of the English way.
The FA should of been doing this when Klinsmann was winning penalty after penalty for Spurs, and cut all this out before it even started
Exactly. All it would take is a simple change to the way the rules are interpreted. It won't happen though, too many FA's are happy with the way it is nowhow often do you hear a pundit say there was contact therefore the striker had a right to fall over.

One that gets my goat is when a player, running with the ball, pushes it past an opposition player who is not moving, and then deliberately runs into the opposition player with no attempt to deviate and thus win a free kick. What is the opposition player supposed to do? Disappear in a puff of smoke like a pantomime genie? This is exactly how Pogba got the free kick that led to United's equaliser last night. It's a collision between two players, neither of whom has control of the ball.
