    ...by intorducing sensor pads to shins, knees, thighs and torso's of players so when a player is touched a ref will hear a beep in his ear, if a player goes down and he doesn't hear a beep then he obviously dived.

    I read about this in the Daily Mail today. Sounds like Blatter has finally lost the plot altogether. This of the logistic problems, can a player set these of by himself or by falling. How does the ref know who got hit, are there different sounds for different players? Sound slike a nightmare. The only answer is video ref.

    Just looked for any sign of this on the net and I can't find any....probably another Daily Mail "exclusive"

    They had one like that on Football Focus this morning. They reckoned players would have to wear yellow arm bands when caught diving or something.

    I was impressed by the poker-straight faces of everyone!
