What was your brilliant logic? If there's contact and he goes down it therefore is not a dive.

No, like I say, I think that's what players do to draw fouls. I think that's commonplace through the game. It doesn't mean it's what I think should happen.
This past week, when Maradona died, there were all kinds of videos of his highlights. It's striking how fouls at that time were so obvious and players knew what they could do. Now we've let that move from those clear and obvious fouls to the players trying to make them look clear and obvious. I guess it depends on what you prefer to see. But I'd guess more people would prefer the way it used to be played as opposed to players writhing around until the card comes out and making a miraculous recovery in time to take the kick.
