So proud of the boys tonight

[Arthur]

Can someone explain why Arter gets a yellow for a dive (when his back leg was touched), yet Flint, doesnt get a yellow forn a dive? Ref didn't give a pen so it must have been a dive.... poo refs again.

Because Flint's dive took place in a crowded area with the ball a little distance away and his action was only clear upon seeing the replay. Perhaps we should be thankful that Flint did fall: had he tried to run from Cairney, it may have been apparent that our captain had hold of his shirt (a la Luiz on Salah the other week).

But the ref waved it away so he saw it... so then it's a booking for simulation

The referee didn't think it was worth a penalty. That isn't the same as saying he knew Flint had thrown himself to the ground. He may think it's a possibility; but he may also think it's possible that Flint merely stumbled over Cairney's leg. The ball was in the air; it had passed over Flint's head by the time he fell; I don't blame the referee for not being clear that it was simulation.  And if the referee did see the situation and decides to book Flint for trying to influence his decision, I would say he would be under scrutiny as to why he didn't, nonetheless, award the penalty; irrespective of the Cardiff player's theatrics, Cairney did have hold of his shirt - which is an offence.
