Why?

I dont think Benjani has played poorly myself, he's done the best that could be expected of him up there on his own.
Maybe there was a few times he should have held the ball up and waited for support, but Vassell and Robinho have been fairly far behind him most times he gets the ball.

becuase ronaldo is doing nothing and we need both wings defended now which we didn't in the first half..

Raskolnikov

Robinho a disgrace.

Frisbee

Dope...
Was a shove though, but should have known better than to do that

EDIT: No shove?!

Jesus christ, do people not have better things to do than watch every single thing Ronaldo does?

Made a foul, it was maybe a yellow, he argued, the ref gave it, he gave him some stick, they moved on. Theres a game on!

Relevant now imo.

county

WTF!!

ntlbell

jesus christ ronaldo

webb is really out to piss me off

ronaldo hasn't made a tackle in about 6 months never mind in these game and he gets a yellow for barley missing the ball with no intent

now he's off jesus

Dave!

ronaldo sent off, doin us a favour...

in fairness it was goin for his face, that coulda hurt

PHB

No idea what the hell Ronaldo was doing there. But there's no way anyone could construe that as Ronaldo trying to manipulate the ball into the goal. It wasn't subtle in the slightest. No idea what he was doing. Absurd and it could cost us.

LuckyLloyd

Well City, time to see what you are all about now.

Xavi6

Cheerio! What was he at?! Surely it was a free header.

ROCKMAN

BULL****

why why why would he put up or rise your arms when you are about to get a free header.......

D.S.

Just found a stream to see Ronaldo make a f&&king d!ck of himself...

ghouldaddy07

feck sake.

Dont know what to make of that didnt look like he was trying to manipulate it towards goal but even still it was a retarded thing to do.

MisterAnarchy

Could see that coming ,referee is an absolute imabacile,handing out cards like confetti.
Disgraceful sending off for 2 phantom yellow cards.

He wasnt trying to score, but it was still an intentional handball, he really shouldnt get a ban for that though, the FA should overrule it instead of him missing a mathc

herbieflowers

was it a second yellow? what was the first infringement for?

Raskolnikov

Ridiculous.

hussey

I wonder did the sarcastic clap seal the deal for that yellow....

i think its a joke the amount of yellows and red the ref is dishing out i havent seen one reckless or bad tackle yet ..... he's an idiot he's turning a derby that wasnt heated into a heated game because of the cards.

really poor iv seen lots of manchester derbys and been at one and this is by far the least heated iv seen, joke!

agreed, his first one wasn't a yellow but the second one was. He clearly wasn't trying to fist it in or anything but it was intentional handball, he gave the ref no option. Dunno what he thought he heard but couldn't hear any whistle noise on TV.

That's what I thought.

Rules of the game: intentional handball = yellow card.

Jus saying.

Well ronaldo was hardly trying to punch the ball into the goal. Seemed like he was saying that he heard a whistle, therewasn't one but the ref should've saw common sense and wrote it off as a stupid mistake.

ROCKMAN

The Ronaldo 1st 2nd 3rd thread is going to go into meltdown..:)

yabadabado

thought ronaldo woukd go after i saw the sarcastic clap but the ref is making a balls of the game

titan18

Neither of them were yellows adn hopefully Webb is thrown out of the league for this.

Dont think anyone disagrees tbh, he is a ****.

redout

Why is there a city guy running around with 50 on his shirt and 33 on his shorts. Ripped ?

Frisbee

So he did think he heard a whistle

I'm amazed at people attacking Webb. Ronaldo deserved to go.

How's it looking anyway? City all over us, who have we brought on to replace?

Ref in "applying letter of the law" shocker. :eek:

Raskolnikov

City are actually playing poorer since the sending off. Elano is a disaster.

jesus_thats_gre

Think it is a bit harsh. Am glad though as I have an intense hatred for him and it will mess up everyones fantasy football scores

no one's attacking him for the yellow on ronaldo for the handball

the first one was never a yellow

rafael's was never a yellow

it's his over all performance has been terrible

D.S.

F88k it, he's gone. Intentionally handballed it. No matter what he heard, whether he deserved the first one or not. He deserved the card for being a git.

Meanwhile, worried that United are getting pushed off the ball right now.

Plus giggs is coming on. Not happy - why not anderson??

No, he didnt. The first one should never be a yellow, and the second one wasnt a yellow either even if it says it in the rules.

Its disgraceful by the ref

ghouldaddy07

The red has had a noticble effect on the team. Rooney looks like he has lost all concentration.
