That's a bit unfair, Rooney is normally a fairish player.

Nah, doubt he saw it.
Hope they show him the clip again. That should happen in every post game interview.
Say what you like, I wouldn't swap him for anyone.
That would be epic, if the reporter just whipped out a pocket TV and showed him a replay!

Got to ask why Mike Dein's in charge given his card record. This game hasn't warranted 9 cards.
Love to see that happen to managers!

After the Champs League game, they showed him the Eduardo dive and he claimed there may have been contact.
It's not been a dirty game but equally I wouldn't say he got any of the bookings wrong.
I'd question the RvP one, considering that the tackle was exactly the same as Fletcher's.

Yeah he defo got touched. Because he deliberately left a leg there knowing he was going over anyway and got lucky with the feintest touch.

2 wrongs don't make a right though. He got the penalty decision wrong and you can't complain too much if you get booked for sliding in like he did. That and the Evra and Almunia cards could have quite easily not been given but I wouldn't say they were bad decisions either.
his face is hilarious.
