Players like Ronaldo don't need to moan and dive. And last season he clearly kicked out in retaliation and connected with the opponent twice (a red card offence) and got away with it both times. Once against Spurs, the other team I can't remember.
When you see Drogba really play, riding challenges and fighting off defenders, it makes you wonder why he bothers with all that diving.
Yet when a player is punished for diving (Eduardo getting the penalty for Arsenal against Celtic) they appeal and the punishment gets thrown out.
Post match reviews of video evidence should be used to punish cheats. That might stop some of the play acting.
