Remember at the start of the month when Steven Gerrard was booked for diving against Chelsea and Match of The Day didn't show or mention the incident? Take a look at the highlights for our game yesterday from MOTD:
Man utd v Blackburn
And take a look at the huge amount of time that is devoted to Ronaldo being booked for diving. I'm not going to make any judgement on whether he did or didn't dive. It's irrelevant to this argument. Steven Gerrard gets booked for diving and it's airbrushed out of the picture. Ronaldo gets booked for diving and we are treated to a commentator slagging him off at great length and being accused of "downright cheating".
(Also note the cursory way he treats Pederson going down too easily in the box, no accusation of "downright cheating" here)
