He might be using the word foreigners to describe English players that are somewhat 'foreign' to the EPL ??

What if the player takes 10 steps before falling over?

There needs to be retrospective bookings and make the punishment fit the crime. punishment should match the punishhment the opposition player would have got I'd you'd been succesfull.

Reducing the foreigners in the English game would reduce the numbers as well.
I feel matching the punishment would open it up to a lot more interpretation just handing a retrospective yellow would be fine IMO.
I don't see how reducing the amount of foreigners would change anything as these days English players dive just as much as anyone else in the EPL. My GIF is case in point.
As we see this from Gary Neville talking about Gareth Bale just because the British didn't come up with it doesn't mean they don't do it.

you say foreigners aren't to blame and then name a foreigner.

Sadly some English do dive at the top level but still happy they're in the minority.

Video review after each game and issue retrospective yellow cards.

Trial in EPL, and see how it goes.

What do you mean name a foreigner? I never said foreigners aren't to blame. In fact I said the complete opposite.

No I didn't I used Ashley Young as my example. I then added a fullstop. Then I talked about Gary Neville discussing Gareth Bale.

Agree, Ozzie Owl. But I can't see that trial getting 75% approval at IFAB as required.

Too grey an area. Let the media shame those actors when multiple camera angles prove it was a dive. They will eventually desist.

And refs will also get to know the usual suspects and give their theatrics nothing. Except a yellow for diving DURING THE GAME, and another yellow = red if they do it again in the same game.
