I'd say it wasn't really much of a dive, just a terrible refereeing decision,



but who cares?
City won 4-1!

Dive? Never. Good tackle? Definately. Abysmal decision? Most definately. By the worst Premier League referee? Is that disbutable.

Yeh looked at it and it defo was a penalty but it wasn't a dive because if you watch it The ball want about a centimeter and he had his leg sticking out which Ronaldo went over

but who cares cos city one 4-1

If Ronaldo was challenged fairly he should have got up and said it was a fair challenge. Ronaldo is a cheat.

Ronaldo is a ****

The same could be said of Gerrard/Joe Cole/Adebayor etc etc when they dive..

I think it would have been a free kick in the cntre circle so that makes it a penalty.

No doubting JLS made contact with the ball first but his left leg came through and touched Ronnie from behind, he never really made made a meal of it much like any number of other "professionals", but nowadays a touch is a foul and a foul in the box is a penalty. None of the Scummers appealed, to their credit, and Ronnie was almost embarrassed to ask, maybe even 9 out of 10 refs might not have given it anywhere but OT, but it really wasn't the worst decision of all time as some people are trying to portray it.

I hate Ronnie like any real Englishman should, and Stiles is a ****, but I do wonder whether some of you guys actually see the whole picture.

To be fair to Ronaldo he didn't celebrate the goal...
