I have to say the TV pundits just seem to be going with the current trend. If the England match had been played a few weeks ago, before the Arsenal - Celtic game, then all the TV people would replay it and say there was slight contact and a def pen. As the papers are now saying diving is bad they are having a go at Rooney as that is the flavour of the month.

I would prefer it if instead of looking at whether or not there was contact, they looked at whether there was intent to play and ball or just perform a foul, if a keeper rushes out and goes for the ball and there is contact that shouldn't be a pen, if they rush out and aim to trip a player up then it should. No one should be punished for playing football
