Ronaldo does it again !!

Was watching ManU's home match against Bolton Wanderers Yesterday. The game was 0-0 almost a third into the 2nd half. Though ManU had a lot of possession, Bolton were holding them quite well.
At that time, Ronaldo was in the penalty area. An opposition defender took the ball away from him cleanly. This would of course unbalance him, but he decided to take a theatrical dive. The referee also decided that it was a deliberate foul and awarded ManU a penalty.
Ronaldo scored from it and that was all ManU needed and they scored another thorough Rooney to win the game.
Though I am a Man United fan, the penalty decision was definetely wrong. Ronaldo has been winning dodgy penalties from 3 years. Yet referees continue to point to the spot. The sooner they stop it the better. Also the sooner Ronaldo stops his theatrics the better. The day is not far when a referee will deny ManU a genuine penalty.
