it's not sport, it's 90 minutes of lying, cheating and deception.

While I agree the diving and faking injuries is irritating, amazing moments like these:

yeah, I'm not sure why they feel the need to sell the fouls so much, it's really unnecessary, the ref's are pretty on top of things regardless…I'm sure Robben would've got that call even if he hadn't given it the really hard sell

Still not a foul. Again, having refereed for a long time, thats still a poor decision.

I hope you don't ref any of my games if you still think that's not a foul.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
