Gareth Bale storms past defender, Gareth Bale goes down, Gareth Bale gets booked. A well-worn story. This GIF clearly shows contact though thus he is actually fouled, the only way he will get a deserved free-kick or penalty is by going down yet because of a reputation that yes, he's done his bit to cultivate, he won't get the decision. Dive? Or the equivalent of putting your hand up for a handball?
