Don't think the penalty decision was that bad. Clear, if soft, contact. I'm sure he could have stayed on his feet, but that isn't the game. 

True. All modern players go down if their leg hairs are brushed against. It just seems that it is acceptable to throw yourself to the floor at every opportunity. In my day it was called cheating

He was already off balance skipping over the first challenge, then there was 100% contact with the second. As you said he probably could have stayed on his feet, but I wouldn’t expect any player in extra time of a semi final to do so. In fact I’d be fuming if he did.

They were out on their feet. A goal was coming anyway. They had 10 me at the end. If it was still 1 all, England would of scored. 

They were, I think they were playing for penalties and the dodgy penalty suckered them England were the stronger team

It looked to me like he was held back a few seconds before when he started his run, and stayed on his feet. I always think the refs should reward that with a foul, but they never do in the box, so I don't really blame attackers for thinking "why should I give the ref a choice?". 

If Celtic had got that sort of pen I would be raging, but if we DIDN'T I would be raging. It's the nature of the game.
