I realize this was the newspaper headline but it drives me nuts that it is either foul or dive, there is a middle ground !!!!
Well said Tony, there was contact but football is a contact sport.
Even funnier is the fact that whilst everyone is commenting on the Ramires incident no one is discussing the fact that as play goes on Ba is fouled by 2 WBA players which would have resulted in a pen anyway.
