asley cole bought down ronaldo in the box later on in the game.
The ref also never award a penalty.
Thou Rooney's trip doesn't appear to be a foul in the box..... cole's tackle on ronaldo does..
So ref are not superman...give and take ba.
I think the only things wrong about the ref is that he fails to be more stern in the 1st half when things are getting hot...esp on reyes...
Other than that....such games are not easy to manage....
Take it penalty given for Rooney's alleged foul in box shld b given for Ronaldo's loh. End result still the same.
Reyes shld know better than 2 gelek at Old Trafford, in front of all referees, Mike Riley, who seems 2 favor Man U, whether intentionally or otherwise.
After he did a nutmeg on Gary Neville, it's only a matter of time b4 they chop him down 2 sizes. Somemore with Phil Neville ard.
Really asking 4 it.
