I agree on the red card for DOGSO. It seems to me that Matt got a bit confused on whether the offence took place inside the area (yellow card) or outside (red), and once he had decided (correctly) that it was outside, perhaps with a bit of help from the AR on the far side, he forgot that a red card should then be shown. 1-2 baffling decision in the Championship, not least Gillett's award of a penalty to Watford (v Preston) which looked a clear dive.

It seems to me that there were two options to eliminate diving - one was for referee's (supported by the law interpreters) to take a hard line and issue yellow cards wherever in their opinion a player had exaggerated the effect of a contact (even to the point of showing yellow at the same time as acknowledging the foul with a free kick) or to accept that successfully falling in such a way that in the opinion of the referee a foul had been committed was part of the game.  The latter course has been taken so "diving" no longer exists, problem solved
