As I said in the matchday topic, I think Rooney dived. His legs buckled before there was any contact. If Almunia had been able to keep out of his way he would have been down without any contact. As it is, Almunia clattered into him, and as far as I'm concerned it's a clear penalty. It was stupid, reckless goalkeeping and it got what it deserved.
I was surprised that Keys ventured away from his usual non-controversial position to raise this very point, even though he was ignored by the rest of the studio.
