In the thread discussing Andy Carroll's ref card for the incident with Chico Flores at Upton Park (Webb refereeing) it was concluded that Flores could not be cautioned because, although minimal, there was contact. However upon rereading the laws of the game, it suggests he could have been cautioned.
In the list of scenarios which merit a caution for unsporting behaviour, one bullet point is:
attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)
The 'or' is significant. This means that even if there is contact, you can still caution for pretending to be injured - no?
