The Scottish FA will have referees watch videos after games and they can make retrospective decisions on diving.

Thank god! Thank you SFA!!!!!!!!!
I was begining to think that diving/cheating was going to be accepted in the game.

Brilliant news!

Rest of Europe/World take notice!

In case you can't tell I'm bloody delighted!

As someone who's seen this creep into all levels at the game, even at U-17 level, it's about fcuking time.

Apparently FIFA aren't happy and are looking to block them. Read it on teletext last night.

FIFA can f**k themselves! What's their problem with it? Not to worry, I'm sure FIFA will act `in the interest of football` :rolleyes: :mad::mad:

If I remember correctly it involved concerns about retrospective/after the fact punishments for non-dicipline/violent conduct issues ultimately undermining the authority of the referee.

I can see it from both sides but I believe it's an experiment well worthy of being tried somewhere in professional football and if the scots are willing to give it a go then fair play to them.
