ronaldo just got his fifth yellow card....does that mean he going to miss the next game?

 

[Help?]

I don't know, but that would be pretty crappy not having Ronaldo or Nani for Wigan.

anyway 4-1 full-time and West Ham never really looked like winning.

 

[1966+2006]

I'm pretty sure they got rid of the 5 yellow card rule.

 

[Fernandez]

Nope. The period for 5 yellow cards for a suspension was over long ago. As for Nani, yes he was stupid and selfish but its his first season. I can bet that this kind of things don't happen in Portugal. What we should do is back him for the future and hopes that he will learn from his mistake.

Anyway, Lucas Neill got what he deserved that ****.

Lucas Neill is the epitomy of scum and someone had to give him what he deserved for all the bull**** he's got away with over the years but Nani hopefully won't stoop to those depths again, still who cares, we owned them and Neill got pewpewed in the face, it's all good.

Thanks.

What a goal by Tevez!

 

[coach]

Just saw the Highlights. Great tricks by Ronaldo today, especially for the second goal. As for Nani's red card, it wasn't a head butt, more of a nudge which BOTH players made a meal out of. Personally, I hope that Neill gets credit for the goal scored by Carrick, just for karma purposes.

 

[mnj2x]

haha nani that SOB.... went down after headbutting neil thinking he could escape the red card. He will learn...its his 1st season but he hasnt impressed me the last 3 games he has started. Needs to buck up.

Great win though! and Ronaldo 40 goals for the season. PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!

 

[newbie original]

A bookie pledged £50,000 to the Manchester Children's Hospital if Ronaldo re-wrote the record books with his 40th goal(30 EPL). He says he is happy to make the donation.

 

[adedawson]

cool, its amazing how many he's scored. The scary thing is there's more games to come.

 

[b-ytter]

One step away!

 

[Help?]

2 steps b-ytter

 

[ticcan]

points taken, job well done. Ronaldo is a fcuking genius as we all know - looks well on his way to becoming the first non-striker to win the golden boot for the premiership. Amazing achievement. Tevez again showing why he should be starting imo alongside Rooney, Quality strike. Nani was hilarious! Headbutting Neil and then going down himself a minute later lol. Anyway, one more win and we are champions. Wigan are safe now so hopefully Brucey shows some sentiment - not that we'll need it.

 

[Funky--K]

Ronaldo's so good he can score goal nº 40 with his balls

 

[Help?]

You are right, even Lucas Neill agrees




And i think this proves that refs do use a 4th official, i'm guessing, to look at replays and then advise them over those radios of theirs.

 

[adedawson]

about time, they should be doing it more.

dude that picture proves absolutely nothing. the guy could've just been scratching his ear for all we know.

I know he could. So i can't say that its absolutely certain. But then what are those radios used for? Just to communicate between the linesmen and main official? The biggest thing that gives me this thought though is that many times the referees in EPL have all missed headbutts, stomps etc. But (and maybe its just me) everytime i see the first official walk over to talk to the linesman, he always makes the correct decision. Maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think i have ever seen a referee consult the linesman and then make an incorrect call.
