Like the commentator on the night put it, "it was a penalty won rather than a penalty conceded". Boruc (Celtic's goalkeeper), the alleged offender never laid a finger on Eduardo.
The ref was conned
I have to admit though, Eduardo is one hell of a Centre forward. He was getting on the end of things and causing all sorts of problems for the Celtic defenders
That's the bad part, no?Now, they're calling for Eduardo's head.The ref was conned

Some quote from the article:
QUOTE
Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati said: ‘If it is clear on television then UEFA must act against Eduardo and ban him. I think he should get a two-match suspension.
'It was not a penalty. I told him, and everyone in the Celtic team told him. But unfortunately it is part of football now. We can do nothing now because the referee gave it.
‘Eduardo did not say anything to me when I challenged him about the dive. He just put his fingers to his lips. It is not good when one guy does this. I feel sorry for Artur because he tried to make sure he did not touch him.
‘When the referee points to the spot, there’s nothing you can do. In life, you are either honest or not. It is better to be honest in your life. Some people are not like that.’
Donati pointed to Hearts winger Saulius Mikloiunas, who was given a two-match ban for diving by UEFA after winning a penalty for Lithuania against Scotland, while Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty is serving the same sentence for cheating against Aberdeen last May.
