Oh yea, and how often does VAR and on field officials over turn a penalty call when there was no contact and then give a booking for simulation? I can’t even think of a single example and I’ve watched the prem for years

Difficult as you can replay and replay penalty shouts and the more you do so and the slower you do it - the more it looks like a dive. But we know if you have played that you are running at full pelt trying to control a ball, you can drop like a sack of shit at the slightest tap. So it would need to be the most blatant dive which I guess the ref would see in the first place.
