		<description>I&#039;ve watched it many times, and i am not changing my mind.

Howard Webb pointed on the floor, that Richards was foul, and then he just stood there, and was going to play on. Then the City fans and crowd got to Howard Webb, and he gave him a second yellow.

You can tell Howard Webb blew his whistle for the foul Berba done to Richards(leant back to him), and not for the handball.</description>

		<description>Also agree with Suhayl ...CR7 got a touch on the ball for his 1st yellow and also agree that Shearer is a complete and utter cunt...... got to be, cos he chose the Geordie maggots instead of winning Leagues and trophies with us..... also he was a dirty bastard when playing</description>

		<description>We all agree that Terry is a cheating cunt and that wanker Webb was after CR7 after his sarky applause toward him after the 1st yellow but anyfucker can see that he wasn&#039;t trying to gain advantage from the &#039;handball&#039;. Now I ain&#039;t Ronnies biggest fan (me thinks he&#039;s too fucking lazy and needs a real gee up.... SAF take note) but I still feel that he was taken out of the game by Webb to make a point.</description>

		<description>Ronaldo catches the ball = OMFG DIRTY FOREIGNER RUNING TEH ENGLISH GAME~!~1

Terry nearly breaking another player in half= Typical English Pride by John Terry...total horse manure.

Although Ronaldo is a great player and I will support him as long as he wears our shirt I must add he is a bit daft at times but remember he didn&#039;t have the best of upbringings...he isn&#039;t the sharpest knife on the drawer and he&#039;s still 23.</description>

		<description>Yep stephen is correct...he misses the rovers game.

Facts are webbs a twat. Why does he ref our big games anyway.

Rafael gets the ball off robinho...wasnt a foul...he picks the ball up, and throws it perfectly where the free kick should be taken...doesnt kick it miles or lashes it..just loops it for robinho to catch, yet gets a yellow.

Ronaldo...first challenge he gets the ball. If he hadnt got the ball, the ball would have gone straight on. NOT at an angle out for throw in. The ball went in the same angle as the angle he came into tackle. Gets the ball...yet a yellow. And the bbc and dick shearer didnt even pick it up.

Handball, i ask why would onre of the best headers of the ball try not to score. Ronaldo is a selfish goalscorer..he loves scoring, so why stop and handball it. Clearly again sky and bbc the deaf gits couldnt pick it up.  Clearly thers a horn then a whistle that comes with the horn. So he stops...ok naive, mistake whatever. But a yellow for that too?

2 soft yellows for nothing..absolutely nothing.  Yet tiny tears viva dick terry nearly breaks sagnas leg with a 2 footed lunge yet what??? NOTHING...mr untouchable gets away with it again and no discussion by twats on motd or sky ala ronaldo.</description>

		<description>I want to start this by saying I am a die hard United fan and will support Ronaldo as long as he wears the red of United. But he is an idiot. I would respect him a lot more if he answered honestly, I f***ed up, no more no less. Im human, I make mistakes sometimes, I disagree with the call I thought I heard a whistle I was wrong. Instead of blaming the referee for his actions. He will miss the Spurs match up next weekend, with a one game suspension. 

Ronaldo, love him or hate him, is a character. A character like T.O. is for the NFL in the U.S. Great for publicity sake, great to keep your team and himself in the news, but not always the best for your team. He hasn&#039;t hurt the locker room yet like T.O. but his attitude is hurting his image and therefore that of United&#039;s. He blames anyone else he can think of instead of admitting I made a mistake, plan and simple. He would not have been sent off if he had decided not to clap at the ref. after his first yellow card. You can not expect after yelling at the ref. all game and publicly humiliating him, that he is going to act with 100% objectivity, I know I would not.

With that said I think Ronaldo&#039;s treatment is unfair at times but sometimes he brings it upon himself. He needs to just get on with the game. He can not change the fact refs don&#039;t seem to like him or respect him and he can not stop players fouling him because they can not keep up with his skill. He needs to just play and forget about the rest. 

We can be upset that its unfair and Terry does worse things, but the buck stops with him. If he would stop acting like a 5 year old who got his lollipop taking away every time things go against him, he might receive more respect from players and referees alike. With that said I can not say for certain I would act differently if each day, i got my legs chopped down when I attempted to do anything and no one protected me, I might act like a 5 year old too. Its a two way street, I think he needs to control his own side, and try and put the other side out of his mind.</description>

		<description>In all honesty a lot more lol i would never have expected someone to be so stupid...not only stupid but incredibly thick as to have it in his head that everyone would accept that he was genuine and didnt have a biased bone in his body...its incredible to think that at one point he could have ended up in Manchester</description>
