I haven't read your links but what I was trying to say was not chip the ref/ linesmens authority away, but , where the finances/ technology allow, the authority could be shared. would this not help beat the cheats?
I don't quite understand what you mean, but if it's a case of using TV replays/5th Official to determine whether a foul or a dive, then it's likely to be unworkable unless play is stopped for the time it takes to determine - no small period - and, imo, the penalty for diving in those circumstances is a Red card!
Those links were regarding post match disciplinary action from video evidence - whether or not the Ref handled it during the game.
