I think you're getting your terms a little confused

Eboue dived in the game, no contact and threw himself to the ground

Almunia hit Rooneys knee, regardless of Rooneys position it was a foul, and a very, very silly thing for Almunia to do

So its quite simple really, contact = penalty, no contact = dive
