Seems to have been totally taken away from the game now....

Anyone see Phil Nevilles tackle on Ronaldo ? great tackle IMO , Nothing wrong with that , hard , strong , fair.

Nothing better IMO when you see two players smash into each other for the ball in a hard and strong way , its a bloody mans game aint it ?....

Ronaldo wanted to make the challenge by Neville seem worse than it was through his dramatics by rolling around about 6 times.

But shirley if you're in pain you don't move? ... Numbnuts.

Just like the old days...
Spot on Creds.

Ronaldo's reaction was pathetic. Drogba-esque.

Yeap , couldnt believe that was a booking.

Hard , strong and made with real passion to win the ball for his team...

Refs just dont understand do they ?....

If a premiership referee was in charge of the game i played in on saturday there would of been about 20 bookings...but for me there wasnt one bad tackle during that game just 22 blokes wanting to win.

Interestingly....or not, Ronaldo stopped all his rolling around antics last season when he was getting a goal a game. Now he is not scoring, back come the diving antics.

What a t*sser.

Totally agree, Great solid "Old style" tackle which seems sadly to be lacking nowadays and Ronaldo's reaction was typical of this overrated prima donna tw*t

My name is Ronaldo, it's my ball and you're not allowed to tackle me or I'm going to cry!

T*sser.
