This may sound hypocritical, but the game has created a culture where if someone goes down screaming most refs will give a free kick, and when watched back it is a ridiculous decision to give, so whilst I agree if a player is genuinely fouled that he should be allowed to make the most of it, but it can create an almost certain decision to give a foul when non has been committed.

Everything is wrong about it (in my opinion obviously) and it just goes to show that any integrity the sport has/had is rapidly disappearing. There use to be a 'sport' shown on World Of Sport every Saturday between 4-4:45 where 'men' called Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks etc. used to fall over 'on script' and everyone thought it was a laughing stock of a sport to be followed by old grannies. Do we really want football going the same way?
