Fergie says Poll should have given us a few pens in past games but if these incidents had happened in the 80s they wouldn't be screaming blue murder.. and if it had happened during Fergie's playing days he just would have got up and kicked the bloke that fouled him later on in the game

So go on then, if someone fouls YOU in the box and you can stay on your feet, you still go down because quite frankly, you won't gain owt by not going down and you'll get a pen if you do.
Face it, the foreign players have catalysed the introduction of a "diving culture" into the indigenous players, and now the refs have been conned to the extent that they don't know when a player is fouled, and not only that but every mistake, every picodetail is analysed and regurgitated by pundits who know FA about refereeing and arrogant managers like Ferguson and Wenger who again, know FA about refereeing and merely use it to partially obscure the inadequacies of their sides.
And let's face it, we're all guilty of diving in the box occasionally whether there's contact or not.
