Rooney was fouled - shirt-tugging. It's a foul, Rooney did go down easily but that's not the point. He was fouled by some scrotish opposition player - these kind of cynical antics should be punished and it's good to see such punishment by the awarding of a penalty.

Penalty IMO, he was fouled, period.

Wasn't a penalty, but wasn't a dive either.

So shirt-pulling isn't an offence then?

Both players were shirt-pulling, Rooney moreso and then Rooney even injured the guy.

It's a non-debate, WHW. It wasn't a penalty and because he appealed, it's a dive.
I've far from defended Rooney's scrotish behaviour in the past, it's frankly indefensible, but IMO, he was fouled in the penalty box - shirt pulling isn't allowed, it's an offence. A penalty was rightfully awarded :cool: Such scrotish behaviour, shirt-pulling, should be punished and was :cool:

It's a friendly, so that will likely mean no ban - but if we're trying to stomp out diving from football then consistency is needed, friendly or not.

He should get a two match ban for being a moron.

I feel for Slovenia, because they were playing very well beforehand.


Lmao at that part.

Also, if UEFA don't ban Rooney, then they will have catastrophically embarassed themselves.

It is, so the question is why was Rooney doing it? :holmes:

Embarrassing posting by you, WHW. I didn't respond to the first one, in the desperate hope that you were being sarcastic. But no, completely and utterly deluded. Biased beyond belief.

Were they both shirt-pulling? In which case I'm wrong in my view, they were then both being scrotish and both should have been yellow-carded or told to play on. From the replays I've seen, it appears only Rooney is the victim of shirt-tugging.

If the exact same situation came about with Eduardo falling to get a penalty in the exact same way against Man Utd, you'd be calling for him to be banned.

Ipso facto.

Biased about Rooney? rofl, I'm usually found attacking him in my posts about him, not defending him, so you can STFU with that accusation tbh.

Urgh that's cringeworthy.

Maybe you've got your head so far up Ferguson's arse that all you can see is his colon.

You sound surprised. Unfamiliar with United fans, Ascient? :p:
WHW just leave it out. You don't need to blindly defend him (like you normally do) today - he's playing for England. You can carry on being bias as normal next weekend.
I'm easily one of the more/most impartial, objective, posters in the football sub-forums, so tbh, you can all GTFO.

Lmao no, you're one of the LEAST impartial posters on this site.

Jog on.
I don't think it was a dive but it wasn't a penalty neither. It was just a terrible refereeing decision.

Arsenal fans are a bit bitter about the whole Eduardo affair (and rightly so...I would be too).

I think (hope) he was being ironic.

great goal by Defoe. He has to start against Croatia
It's ironic that all the wummers and only the wummers, are disagreeing with my opinion of myself in regard to being impartial and objective.

Go back to wum school, kids. Your wumming isn't working on me. I'm having none of it tbh.
