1.it was not a clever tackle to start with.... rooney is pulling the players leg and then appears to follow through at the end of the tackle by stamping on him. imo he has a yellow card at this stage

2. while ronaldo was remonstrating with the ref it was ridiculous of rooney to get involved by pulling ronaldo round and pushing him. imo yellow elevated to red card

3. where was the support from rooneys england teammates immediatley after the tackle?

4. ronaldos wink at the end..... I was giving ronaldo the benefit of the doubt that he swayed the referees desicion up to this point. though admittedly the clip is a little biased in this respect.
