England pen!

[R. Slicker]

After the Eduardo incident & all the hand wringing in the media & on here basically calling him a cheat. are we happy that Rooney has to do the same thing for England to take the lead against Slovenia.

 

[Blackadder]

Can't believe that the ref awarded it!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Because he's English nothing will be done/said about it in the nationals tomorrow. The same with Cheating Gerrard, because he's English he never gets a mention although he dives in every game. :rant;:

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Was it a dive though? Or just a very soft penalty?

 

[clapham_gull]

Wasn't a dive, he seemed to try and kick out/tackle the player and in doing so fell over.

Referee unbelievably gave a penalty.

Havng said that appealing in that scenario is still cheating in my book.

Wouldnt have said it was a dive, not anywhere near as blatant as Eduardos! However after the replay i noticed he did appeal for a penalty, which kind of changed my mind. Still, if anything it looked like their free kick for a Rooney shirt pull!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

I don't think he dived for it, just fell down and tried an ambitious appeal - which paid off.

Defoe:yahoo:

Not really a dive but certainly not a penalty. Let's hope Rooney keeps his mouth shut.

 

[Northstander]

Rooney is a very nervous interviewee....watch him if they do an after match interview, he makes nervous twitches every 10 seconds by rubbing his neck/cheek or nose....he does it everytime

 

[chez]

As already said, it wasn't a dive. There was a tug on his shirt but it was the softest penalty I've ever seen given.

 

[Giraffe]

No dive just a soft penalty decision. Haven't people got anything better to do than have a go at one of England's finest players?

no im not biased he is just a world quality player that deserves to be playing in one of the top 2 teams in the prem, ie man utd chelsea, he has been known to fall easliy but i wouldnt say he dives thats my opinion
