How can this be ruled out of the game? It's getting ridiculous.
If he's hurt, fair enough, but staying down shouldn't warrant automatically going upstairs to the video ref. If it does go upstairs, and there's deemed to be little or no contact, and has caused a delay of game the penalty should be reversed. It would soon see the acting in the game removed, and not rewarded.
There's enough Refs and players out there to see if the shot was worth a penalty in real time - if they don't blow the whistle right away then it shouldn't be a penalty. Generally players will also run in when it's a foul shot giving you a clear indication of an offense.
