Wayne Rooney, "I think everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player who tries to be as honest as they can. The ball got played through, I got on the end of it and got contact with the ball and then I got contact which knocked me off balance. The referee saw it as a penalty."
"I have never intentionally tried to dive. There have been times when I've stayed on my feet and tried to shoot rather than going down. I don't think it is fair for players to dive and try and cheat the other team."
