Simulation Notes
In the first three simulation clips, the referee correctly cautions the player for simulation. The clips identify different methods of administering the caution (1 - confidently, 2 - quickly & 3 - timely). In the fourth clip, the referee is not deceived by the simulation of the attacker and the ball goes out of play for a goal kick. The player could possibly have been cautioned, depending on the atmosphere of the match.
