Yeah, I'm with Ed on this one.  Unless the dive has a material effect on the play of the defenders, I don't see cautioning for it.  Fact is, I've seen some really obvious dives that in my opinion should have been cautioned, but were let go.  Why would someone want to caution one that doesn't really affect play or the outcome?

Yes, at this level play. What does the action really do? It takes an attacker 
ut of the play who maybe could otherwise potentially contribute to play. Let 
im be selfish and stupid. If, however, the defenders are somehow put off or 
learly taken out of the play then the attempted deception has gone past 
ttempted into deceived. No goal and a caution.

 not sure of your comment here. do it seems that it is possible that it is a 
ive but not enough to deceive the defense or really stop the game you can let 
he goal stand.
 
 am I misreading this?
