It was a sending off - no question...
Agreed all the card waving and winking from Ronaldo was poor but cheating?

I'm normally pretty honest and critical not that concerned on England's failure but I can't see a foul.

Rooney gets his punishment and will take it. Why do fifa not do the right thing and cite that wan*er for ungentlemanly conduct and unsporting behaviour!QUOTE]
Its about power and politics and little to do with football. England have long been out of the frame when it comes to FIFA power games, that's why our cries fall on deaf ears.
The refs know it too and with one eye on a world cup final slot they can sh*te on an England team knowing there will not be retribution, but send off a Latin player for "ungentlemanly conduct"... well that's not the done thing. ...Watch the Spanish league and you can see plenty of Ronaldo's getting away with similar behaviour every week, it is basically accepted as OK.
Why did the ref send off Rooney??.....well for me it had nothing to do with what he thought was right but what the watching assessors would expect him do, I have little doubt that Ronaldo and friends action persuaded him that he had missed something big so rather than risk the wrath of FIFA it was easier to send Rooney off..the Portugese knew this and it was clearly part of their tactics, you can't say it didn't work for them.
Negative GB. Definitely big question. People watching with me, mostly French, US and other non-English, thought that Rooney was looking at the grass and trying to stay upright and certainly did not "stamp" on Carvalho's genitals otherwise he would be singing falsetto by now. Rooney was being battered around and grabbed and pushed by two Portuguese men of war which was why he has stumbling and he wound up putting a foot into the guy's crotch when being pulled backwards.Greenholme Bee said:I don't understand?

You weren't watching the same game as me. Rooney knew what he was doing and got caught out. We lost because we deserved to. End of story. That's why I'm not bitter and it's the same for Brentford. WE WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH.California Bee said:Negative GB. Definitely big question.
