I'm tired of defenders taking a dive at the slightest touch and getting a free kick. They can maul a striker and rarely concede one. That's why DM got booked when he complained when Saliba collapsed from barely a nudge.

I think Moyes complained that the game was stopped, yet Saliba wasn't on the field of play when the ref blew the whistle. There was no need to stop the game.

Exactly. Seems like the ref doesn't understand the rules, or is it just the badge?

Top 6 players are allowed to fall over when feeling air brushing past them from opposing players, it's also a requirement to hold your ankle and roll side to side, or hold your head for any contact above the knee. Also, subsection 4, paragraph c.1 states any Top 6 player outside the field of play is considered in the field of play.
Anyone below top 6 can be wrestled to the ground, pulled back by the shirt, and barged into advertising boards. Any contact is deemed that player's fault for just being there.
