Where are all the threads criticising Henry for trying to con the ref to get another player sent off? Did you see the other Ronaldo's dive on Saturday?
|
I think the thing there is that there
was a foul committed, even though Henry did try to con the ref - it was a bookable offence anyway, so the free-kick was justified. I'm not trying to say that Rooney shouldn't have been sent off, because what he did
was a red card offence, but a number of the Portuguese (including Ronaldo) probably made more of it than there actually was. Just IMO, of course

Don't remember many people shouting about cheating when Mickey Owen did it against the Argies.

That's 'cos we
really don't like the Argies

I'm pretty sure it was Pearce took more of the criticism that time.

But that's only because we're all still waiting for Waddles shot to land
