VAR seems to have stopped refs booking players for diving

now they don't give the pen, and wait for VAR to have a look.

VAR should then advise him to book for diving, but they can't / won't.

Zaha had one blatant dive.

        That may be the incident I am referring to although I thought he was going to give it (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 30, 12:00:46
