I think that was the weakest red card i've ever seen. Why would Ronaldo, who is one of the best headers of the ball in England, try to stop or re direct the ball with his hands? It was so obvious that he thought play had stopped; why, who knows. I'm not just defending Ronaldo on this; i don't see the point in giving an attacking player a card for using his hands in that situation. He could have headed the ball on goal for a decent opportunity. Weird call by the ref.

meh the ref had no choice and it was quite obvious and he cant say he didnt mean to do it because we clearly see him jump up and then move his hands in front of his face

his bad really

[^_^]

true, but you really want to give the cards to players with intent and who are trying to hide it from the ref; i'm sure that ronaldo knew everyone was able to see what he was doing.

Player handles the ball = Yellow card.

I'm afraid theres no way around it.

[^_^]

just like the rule about kicking the ball after the whistle is a yellow card offense? please, i see players get away with the "i didnt hear the whistle" all of the time.

I think the ref did what he had to do. Although it is very unfortunate if Ronaldo thought he heard a whistle. Apparently, fans blowing their whistles can really work.

it worked in the 2002 WC in a group match between Mexico and Italy, i remember you could hear the tweet-tweet-tweeeeeoweet sound but it showed only the 76min

well i think ronaldo should a) start taking responsibility for some of his actions and not always trying to lie his way out of them and b) people should stop analyzing his every breath. Whatever he does people try to copy him and be like him.

lay off, i mean imagine how frustrating it is when ur in his position when everything you do is monitored by millions of people

Man U scraped out a win in the 90th minute today. They dominated Sunderland but couldn't get past their defense.

Ronaldo has been a bit off over the past few weeks. He needs to sort that out real quick.

[manutd.]

Missed the game, but it sounded good.

What happened with Keano?

[Sule]

with torres out everyone expected Keane to start but he stayed on the bench while Kuyt and Benayoun shared the strikers roles.

Arsenal had more chances than i could even count today. v.persie was everywhere and in a good way
