Whoever said it was not Ronaldo that got Rooney sent off needs to look at the incident again. Rooney was definitely Yellow card fodder - No doubt. But remember Ronaldo came running over to the ref shouting and waving his arms about. And did you see the sly wink immediatley after? Ronaldo knows Rooney very well and knew exactly what buttons to press to get him going.

He should indeed have had more self control but Rooney, on seeing a 'team mate' who had already had been goading him, pushing even further, did what most of us would have done. Pushed back - much in the same way he must have done hundreds of times in training. My bet is that the ref was going to yellow him but on seeing the blatant push - another yellow - gave him the red.

As I said before I would be very surprised if we see Ronaldo playing at Old Trafford for much longer. Either he or Rooney will have to go. And I don't think Alex Ferguson would be daft enough to ingnore the England fans.
