Should we use technology for more than just goal line decisions?

No. Technology should only be used to prove facts. Very few penalties these days are clear cut, certain penalties, it's all a matter of interpretation. Using GLT can be instant and it's a factual case of "Over the line" or "Not over the line". There's no in between. All other sports are the same. Tennis, in or out. Rugby, Try or no try. Cricket, Wicket or no wicket. There could potentially be a challenge system, but a maximum of one challenge per game per team.

This for me, GLT only.

Agree with alot of others that diving should get a retrospective ban though. People like Ashley Young, Eden Hazard and Oscar the other day should all receive 1 match ban for first offence 2 match ban for second and so on. Although some cases would be hard to prove you would need an independent panel looking at the cases each week to decide.

Well, iirc there was a very dodgy goal line decision in the Liverpool - Chelsea CL semi final a few years ago. Liverpool went on to win the match and the trophy.

As for the late punishment, there's every chance that could equally be like a second punishment for the opposing team. Example, player dives in the box and wins a penalty, scored, game ends 1-0. The player gets retrospectively banned, meaning he misses 3 games against teams who are rivals to the original losing team. Those 3 rivals all win, meaning the team who lost by being cheated, now lose even more ground on their rivals due to the punishment.
