Five players sent off as PSG VS Marseille turns into a 70s-style feast o'fisticuffs

Wouldn't VAR be able to sort that out?

Indeed - this post convinced me

That's one of the things I've always found really weird; everyone knows when you've taken a real hit (whether a fight or just a regular coming together in football) you don't roll around at all.

I once busted my nose headbutting the back of someone else's head (trying to head the ball and missing, I must stress!) and I just went straight down and stayed there, really wasn't in the mood to roll around.

Players should be told that rolling around = simulation and will get a booking.

You look at rugby and how they get hammered and just get up, footballers are a load of overpaid tossers.

It is hard to 100% say what is a dive and what is a fall though. I suppose if there is zero contact AND then an appeal that could be punished?

What about a fall that starts off as a dive?

Might finally prove if Kane (on his daughters life) or Eriksen scored 'that goal'
