ronaldo sending off

[dank76]

what you yours thoughts lads

[cbatts]

What a muppet!

[Jack.lfc]

He had a better goalscoring opportunity if he had actually headed the ball, therefore I have to believe that he heard a whistle. But still deliberate handball = yellow.

[doobiest]

shoot the winking twinkle toed tosser!



those are my thoughts

ROBIN VAN PERSIE!!!!

Pundits say you dont always get a yellow for handball but that was stupid, maybe he did hear something in his head but he had to go imho.

[John Barleycorn]

Ever since the Real Madrid transfer saga his body language has told the truth, he doesn't want to be at Utd. He just isn't trying as hard and his goal celebrations are fairly muted, he will be gone when his contract is up.

i think he must have heard somrthing to handball it like that its not as if he tried to hit it towards goal.i remember paulo di canio catching the ball once i dont think he got carded

but he had to go no excuses for him first rule of football for me is you play till your sure he should of tried to header it goalwards then seen what happened with the ref

like offsides you would still stick it in if you knew you were offside just incase

Ronaldo is superb in the air, so he dont need to put both hands onto the ball, something tells me , he did hear a whistle from someone and thought it was a free kick or something.

BUT professional footballers should know the score, .

On last years performances he was deffo the worlds number 1, this season i wish we took 75mil for him.

[thered]

yep he was never going to repeat it was he 42 goals but i have said before a half baked ronaldo is better than most players and who is good enough to replace him without upsetting the balance of the team

something i think berbatov's arrival has done we just dont look as fluent partly i think down to scholes and partly berbatov fitting in but i believe we will get much stronger as the team gels better as the season goes on

played better at city last season and got beat micah richards was outstanding so happy with 3 points and chelski got beat too so a good weekend

To be fair...Webb is a nob jockey of a ref & to book Ronnie for the first so called foul was a joke!
After seeing the stud marks on Vidic's stomach made early on by a kamikaze challenge by Micah Richards that nearly cut Vidic in half & Webb did nothing cos he's a bottler!
Ronnie was stupid for putting his hands up ,but i can't believe he gained an advantage outta the situation (as the rule book states) & a ticking off by Webb woulda been the right thing to do.
Ronnie is high profile & the second yellow comes with his standing in the game.
If shitty would have got a draw then i'm sure us United fans woulda gone booloo!
As for Webb he wants to get a rap off Hackett as he made some awful calls...the man's a liability!!

Manchester United being a one man team, will most likely lose all the games he is suspended for. Just like earlier in the season when they struggled to get results without him and had then to try to play catch up.

What did Ronnie actually do in the City game?
All i saw was him moan,groan and put his hands on his hips Then up to his face ...
Were as Rooney was everywhere & his desire to win is something Ronnie just hasn't shown this season.
IMO The sooner he gets on the plane to Madrid the sooner we will become an even better team as last season it was the Ronaldo show ...this season he is going through the motions and will become a big problem for Fergie if he spits the dummy out.Team spirit will suffer.

[stokie63]

he deserved to get sent off wait till he comes down stoke boxing day hes going get some stick he got loads when we went old trafford.

[bobbsy]

deserved it...couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.....whistle in his ears... more like bells in the head!
