    i think refs get too much credit to be honest, they are too inconsistent. on ronaldo i think he goes own too easy, drogba too. you disagree. we have different views on the game. i know gerrard and rooney do it too a lot of players do. refs go on about intent. no player intends to foul and give away a penalty, rooney went down on tuesday because he thought he was going to be tackled. what happened to waiting until your tackled first. ronaldo got a penalty last season that was suspect and explained the defender put him off his movement. fouls for being put off, this is ridiculous. its part of professionalism to cheat if you can get away with it. these players get away with it and now they need more protection to exploit the rules further

    he dives and gets free kicks though (boro off the top of my head, a while ago admitadly) or dives and doesn't get a free or a card (like Rooney). Just becuase he has not been booked, does not mean he has not dived.

    I do think he dives a lot less now then he used to, but it still goes down to easily imo.

    if you watch Vidic, he is one of the dirtiest players in the league, but he seems to get away with a lot.

    This is simply not true...
