This is a dive

Rooney
Wayne Rooney diving


Just by the law of averages Andy Gray ought to have said something intelligent about football by now. He's been commentating on the Premier League for over 15 years, but no, not a single piece of analysis that couldn't have come from the mouth of an aftershave drinking vagabond.

There has to be intent for a foul to be given in football oui? Therefore our goalkeeper's arms being in Wayne Rooney's way for him to fall over is not justification for a penalty. There is no intent on bringing Rooney down. Almunia's intent was purely just to do something silly and come charging off his line for no reason. This was just a coming together of bodies, which is still allowed in football as it still a contact sport just about. So it possible to have a collision that is not a foul, or a dive it's just a collision. Although this was a dive.

The football media's reaction please had that been Eduardo going down in that exact foot dragging arms in the air way at the other end? At the very least he'd have been deported.

I'm still trying to work out how even with the benefit of numerous replays, he didn't think Fletcher's tackle on Arshavin was a penalty so I can't really comment on that. The tackle which was exactly the same as Robin Van Perie's a few minutes later for which a free-kick and yellow card were given. I'm starting to suspect he doesn't like Arsenal.

Rich is getting angry.
