crap like this ruins football. imho they should be very generous with fines and suspensions based on video evidence even after the game is over.
you cheated and got a penalty? here's 50% of your wage as fine and a 5 match suspension.
or we could get video evidence during the match so that the ref can take a 10 second break and see if it was a dive or a foul.
stopping cheaters can actually be very easy but fifa doesn't really care.
The problem with video evidence during the match that it would be taken or done upon request made by coaches.. This could lead a coach like Mourinho to protest over everything and make too many requests in a tight game. You wouldn't enjoy a match that stops every 5 minutes to look at a video.
One good solution is to limit the requests.
and there you have it. each coach has a maximum of 5 video-evidence calls per game. heck, i think even 3 should be more than enough but let's go with 5.
usually it should take anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds to look at a video and make a decision so that will mean max 5 minutes per game if all calls are used by both coaches. heck, let's say 10 minutes per game. i'd rather spend 10 minutes watching replays but have correct decisions than get angry when blatant mistakes are made.
