In particular, by the sending off of Brazilian great Kaka after Ivory Coast's Abdelkader Keita wildly exaggerated the impact of a little shove by Kaka, falling to the ground clutching his head... Shame! Shame!! SHAME!!!
Here is my little canine friend's interpretation of the act - peeping with one eye watching what "score" the referee would award him for his performance!
Personally, I think the almost automatic yellow and sometime red card penalty to the accused is encouraging these cheats.
I suggest this new rule: The poor injured player/victim who falls to the ground, covering his face, leg, foot, whatever, crying in agony is sent off on a stretcher for a compulsory injury time of 20 minutes. The offender is given a yellow or red card or a word of caution per the referee's discretion. If the victim miraclously recovers, jumps up and lands on to his two feets, then "Carry On!" and no card is issued.
What do you think?
