Mine is a thread about the need for an additional official in the sport. The French game is just one of many examples of why such an official is needed in my view. The thread is not about that particular game.
Recently, there was a game between Liverpool and Birmingham, where the outcome was changed by a player deliberately diving in the penalty area without ever having been touched. A similar incident occurred with Eduardo diving during a recent Arsenal Champions League game.
In both cases, the additional official would have spotted the offense.
