Obviously I'm biased but for me it wasn't a penalty. If you award a penalty every time a hand is placed on a shoulder in the box then we'll end up with some really bizarre scorelines. Very strange that Pederson chose to throw himself to the ground given that he was through on goal.

What surprised me was that there was no decision at all from the ref, having booked Ronaldo for his pathetic dive & rightly so, surely he had to either give the pen or book Pederson.

No complaints about the goal that was chalked off though, think that Webb was aware that it was never a corner & decided to even things up. As for Chris Dalton's comment, I didn't even think it should have been a free kick.

That dive was bad even by Ronaldo's standards. This is why I really don't like the guy, yes he might be one of the best footballers in the world but he is also a dirty little cheat and nobody likes them.

Unfortunately it would appear that millions upon millions do like 'dirty little cheats' as those who have never taken a dive are in the minority, well in the Premier League anyway.

Should have been a penalty FACT.

Get that post thickness checked aswell, very unlucky Ryan Nelsen

More penalties given at OT the past 4 years than any of the other so called big 4.

I wonder if the FA will be applying a ban with Ronaldo for kicking out as they did with SWP?
