mmm, rafael did the same thing and didnt have a pen against, but you've seen lesser stuff givenDubious.. although id like to see strength of players and shoulders allowed more often, another ref on another day would give that!
that would be irrelevant, if its pen its a pen, no matter when the foul is committedIf the ref was giving penalty, he was killing the game.

true, but in this case, dunne wasnt even attempting to play for the ballYe i agree, lesser stuff has been given, which i consider even more wrong! Defenders should be able to use their strength IMO.
Playing surface is rubbish.
FRIEDEL save! Well done Brad.
excuses already

on you second point totally agree, but think in this case dunne is lucky not to get a pen against him, definitely shouldnt try it a second timeI agree in some ways ye, he was definitely trying to stop Nani get the ball, and his body moved into Nani's path so i suppose in this instance it is more deliberate.
In general though, strength should be a lot more wavered than it is being of late.
