I read somewhere that after Rooney's tumble against Arsenal at OT earlier this year, the ref's were told not to award penalties when the player punts the ball away and then runs deliberately into a challenge, i.e aren't playing the ball but are playing for a foul. Now, based on that you would have to say it was a fair call.
Based on I read somewhere?
. Definitely was a penalty. It.was.a.filthy.dive. Gerrard had no answer to the Arsenal defence so had to resort to diving. Fact.
maybe the name of this thread should be changed to "Leeds United II thread"
