The first was not a dive per say, he was ahead of the defender who put his hand on our forwards shoulder. The pundits say if a player feels contact they have the right to go down, look at Kane today and many other games where it happens. Yes it is not the way I would play but we have to compete in all areas. I would not like our players to dive like Rooney did the other night but I saw a journalist arguing that he was right, and it was indeed a penalty even though no contact was made.
it was a penalty in the modern game
