It's like a double edged sword though. You get honest strikers trying to stay on their feet in the penalty box, even though they've been fouled, so the ref uses it as an excuse to not give the penalty.

I don't like seeing it but in today's game you have to throw yourself down if you are fouled cos honest players don't get given decisions they should be.

Totally understand what your saying, especially fouls in the box.

I was watching a game the other week though, a player got fouled, blatant foul, the player is going down anyway because of the foul, but then for some reason decides to over exaggerate and hurl himself to the ground, and starts rolling around (from an innocuous challenge) the ref went from looking like he was about to blow up for the foul,to going over and telling the player to get up, it's that sort of thing that has me shaking my head.
