utter twat he is...needs to learn form the likes of Jopub.
What and say i support a team yet how much i hate every player in the team?
"It can only be a dive if there is NO contact. Rooney did what any good striker does, get a toe on the ball and let the GK clatter into him"
Mate I'm off for a drink. If you can't see the difference between the two incidents as an adult football fan I'll leave you to it.
If you want group hugs you're better off going to an Arsenal forum.
Agreed
I'd say you are being pedantic.
EDIT: Ronaldo has just scored a penalty for Madrid by the way.
Roles reversed i think the forum would be singing a different song.
In other words, you can say Rooney knew the challenge was coming and looked for the contact. He was on his way down before Almunia touched him.
But let say that happened anywhere on the pitch with another player instead of the keeper, the ref will still have given Rooney a freekick.
he did not think much of wenger...thats all I've read...and he may well be proven right...I certainly hope so
but the man knows his football.
He was on his way down before the goalie even got to him. I don't blame him for doing it but ref's need to be more aware.
more aware of what ? contact was unavoidable
Then Arshavin should of had a penalty and Fletcher should of had a yellow.
That said i much prefer Arshavin's goal then a penalty and yellow.
so Rooney was running at full pace with a defender challenging him for a 50:50 ball, and he decided he would dive and play the ball all in the same movement........ He got to the ball first, and sold the contact to the Ref, great play.
The peno was a tough call. Rooney clanged the ball into the Stretford End and lost any chance of scoring. At the same time, I think he went to ground a little too easily as if looking for the call. Almunia took him out mind. Not too sure Arshavin shouldn't have been given one in the first half if that was one for United.
That was a penalty for sure.
He got to the ball first, and sold the contact to the Ref, great play.
Eduardo did it?
goalie was nowhere near the ball and he had contact with the player...penalty...
..beautifully taken btw if I may add...

Goalie was covering the goal, Rooney ruined the chance and crashed into the keeper, still a penalty?

1.Rooney got the ball first 2. He started to go down 3. Goalie and he made contact.
IMO the contact should come before the player starts to go down.
IF a player is going to go down before the contact is made then they clearly arent going to go on to score are they? A yellow card was given for denying a goal scoring opportunity (thats the only reasoning i can give it). Wrong decision on all counts.
are you saying the goalie avoided contact with Rooney?
he missed getting to the ball and got the player....
stop digging...
Hang on, so you're sayin that Rooney should run full pelt in to the keeper (with no regard to safety as I think he was tryin to lessing the impact) for it to be legitimate?
It's a nailed on Penno...
Player was already going down, Goalie went for the ball, contact was inevidable but not a penalty when the ball is booted into the stands.
yeah , it was a 50 50 decision , ref did dot gave peno because fletcher got the ball to
with his arm, even though his feet took the player first. ide say that should be more a 100 - 0 decision.
Ok, at the end of the clip, you will see what the ref might have saw. Rooney was going down to make sure the contact was sufficient

9/10 for Eboue dive
Because thats Wayne rooney and every other stirker all over... looking out for the safety of the goalkeeper before anything else. Rooney barely cares for his own safety let alone someone else on another team.
contact with a player and not getting the ball....you are done.
and Rooney had no choice but to go down...or he could have gone full pelt and hurt the keeper.
we played better last year and lost, so i'm not complaining
Yup, that's the real diving talking point... absolutely no contact, unless there was an angry poltergeist on the pitch.
Sorry mate but we are going to have to agree to disagree....him going down without any contact sure lessened the impact.Rooney is one of my fav players and I said MU had got a bargain the day they splashed £25m on him but today he played the ref.
Read something at the time about Wenger getting a private jet to visit him. He could have visited me in a UFO I would have still told him to get lost.
Or he could of jumped over the top... and missed hte keeper all together, saved any possible injury to himself and Almunia...
If a player takes a crack at goal and a defender tries to block the shot, and hte player who takes the shot then runs into the blocking defender, it is not a penalty... so neither is this.
Is that what you really think? nobody wants to get injured and very few want to intentionally injure someone else, you're being a bit of drama queen.
You bend your knees to lesson the impact and it would look like a dive if there was no contact...
Bet when Eboue sees his dive on TV he will be embarrased and think, "Damn I was sure he was closer"
What's goes around comes around little goonies. Clear penalty. Loving your bitterness.
We are talking about a player who did a salmon into Bendtners Foot.
The interviewer on sky sports was an annoying knobhead.
fecking hell arsenal scored 20 seconds after not getting the penalty. Why bring it up? It hardly cost them the game you twat
Rooney's was clear cut. It's the extension of the arms by almunia - he had to win the ball then and he never did. Now we can put the burnley game to bed and say we're doing ok.
