Some folks on Youtube claim there was contact, but imo, when Pedersen went down, Sagna was just too far away for there to be any contact. Then the looking around at the ref really sealed the deal.
 
^^i remember that lmao

i remember a few years ago when i was playing youth's soccer with my local team. We were playing a very good side in a cup match and they had most of the play and should have been winning but with about 15 minutes to go they got a penalty and scored. Now, we have a pretty vocal support at one of the corners of the pitch. These guys were tough fuckers. After they scored their penalty, this support started hurling abuse and threatening the referee. So the game is heading to last minute or so and one our strikers gets the ball. The nearest defender is about 5 yards away. Our guy turns with the ball and runs. Then he throws himself on the ground. Its outside the box and there is no defender near him but the ref who is being subjected to all the abuse, gives a penalty. It was the worst dive i have ever seen and the fact that it was outside the and the ref gave a penalty was ever funnier. Our penalty taker lashed the penalty over the bar and then ran into the keeper and started punching him. then everyone got involved and the game was abandoned. I wish i had a video of it.

Actually, they are right. If you take a close look at the second video Hizzle posted, when you get to see the scene from behind, you can see a little contact (foot against knee).

Not worth a penalty, hell no, but still a contact.
 
Its funny, the night before the Man Utd v Liverpool game last Saturday i had a nightmare that man utd beat us 4-1. We were 1-0 up until 15 minutes to go and Man Utd scored 4 in the last 15 minutes. Skrtel made a bad mistake for one of the goals.

It does, huh? But the peculiar thing is, even if there is contact, it still takes Pedersen a while to keel over, lol. So it's still a blatant dive.
