To be honest (and correct me if I’m wrong) but I think this would incentivize more diving and shithousery since the likelihood of the offending player getting a sin bin or sending off increases as long as the ref is fooled. It’s no longer a clear yellow or clear red situation, now you have either a chance at a sin bin if it looks bad enough or a sending off and suspension. The refs are barely adequate at using VAR to correct situations as it is so what are the odds they’d catch this type of behavior or be able to distinguish it in real time?
