It was a malicious attack...only done to attack the player...petulance to the extreme. He didn't trip him...he kicked him. that is assault, same as a punch...though...I guess for man utd supporters..that probably is called love play...something to do to the wife on a regular basis

Only ten, fifteen minutes later a Hammers player committed an absolutely identical foul and only got a yellow.  Makes me think that if it had been anyone but Rooney the ref wouldn't have been as quick to show the red, he fired it up in an instant without thinking about it for a second.  |
you cannot the compare the two.. Rooney kicked the guy deliberately...the other was a trip..assault should never be condoned.
Puzzled why the ref should consider assault as something to let go....rooney did it intentionally...he got the red
