IFAB, if you're listening, you might want to consider this since you'll be dealing with this a couple of weeks.

Whenever the VAR notices that there's a collision and a player clutches his face or clutches a body part that hasn't been touched.

We see it all the time.

We saw it this weekend in the FA Cup.

I forget the game.

The minute that happens, you know, just give the footballers a code.

You don't do this.

You're trying to con the referee.

When it happens, word in the air, you're booked.

I don't care.

You're automatically booked for that.

I mean, that is the most obvious, egregious thing.

There's no judgment in that.

I think that's something that can be done.

One of the other big talking points...

This season, people have complained a lot about refereeing in Serie A. And one of the things that Rocky, the head of the referees, who's leaving at the end of the season, one of the things he's been criticized for is that he's adopted this sense this year, not officially, but when you look at the numbers, it's pretty obvious that

Normally, you have got bigger games, or games that are considered more difficult, you know, relegation scraps, whatever, and they go to the better, more experienced referees.

He's kind of not done that.

He's kind of said, all right, I'm going to kind of give out the games pretty much equally.

Everybody deserves to have a referee.
