Wouldn't it be nice if a dive to get a penalty was a criminal offence under some kind of "attempt to gain a pecuniary advantage by deception" law? After all, if staying in the Premiership is worth a million quid to a player, surely attempting to deceive the referee in such a fashion qualifies as some kind of criminal financial offence?

Brilliant! Let's just hope it doesn't extend to all sports and, hence, games, though...
