Why do refs keep booking Bale when he hasn't dived?

That's 3 times recently now where he has been shown to be fouled on the replays afterwards, yet the idiot refs decide to book him for no reason. Against Liverpool it was a foul by Agger. Against Fulham it was a foul by Sidwell. Against Sunderland it was a foul by Gardner. There was definite contact in all of them and no other player would get booked for diving there. It is this ridiculous witch hunt in the media and by idiots who see that he's been booked and don't bother to watch the actual incident and see that it's a foul.

Update:

@Zed

He's not a diver. You can clearly see a foul each time. I've never seen him given a free kick when there was no contact, only dives against him when there is contact.

Update 2:

@E

What dives? There were none, just awful decisions from refs. They showed it on the replays yet morons still go on about how he 'dives'.

    When a team is playing away, the team is generally mistreated by referees too. On the other hand, the way Bale is fouled, it seems that he is doing it intentionally.

    Every team has a diver & when the actually get caught the ref isn't sure or gives the benefit of doubt to the other team.

    Because refs doubt him now, he had some blatant dives at the beginning of the season that had everyone talking about it, I do not blame the refs for being a little skeptical when he goes down now.
