The Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was not even booked in the Champion League match against the Danish champions Aalborg. In that match Wayne Rooney stamped Kasper Giscard on the chest and the stud marks were clearly visible. But the referee failed to show a yellow card, for there have been times when players have got a straight red card for such an offence.
Let us see what the rule says. The rule clearly state when the studs are shown then a yellow card must be shown as it is dangerous and some one may break a leg. The Arsenal striker Eduardo broke his leg when Taylor stamped him with the studs showing.
But as this match was played at Old Trafford and the rules were quite different I think. The Manchester United players always pounce on the referee , especiallyRio Ferdinand, Michel Carrick and Ryan Giggs.The poor referee then supports the Manchester United players. Even Phil Brown the Hull manager has complained that when Manchester United play with other clubs the referee is always ball watching, and favouring Manchester United.
We in India a country who has never ever qualified for a world cup can see what is happening , which is asad and disgraceful thing for foootball governing bodies.
The U.E.F.A says that Wayne Rooneys incident was an accident, and there will be no further inquiry or fine.
But Taylor also did it by accident nobody goes breaking peoples legs.But Taylor got a straight red card , and Arsene Wenger at that moment afterthe match with Birmingham City said Taylor should never be allowed to play again.But Wenger the gentleman tyhat he is said later it was a pure accident , and those words were said when he was angry.
I often feel that manchesters matches are fixed referees make so many blunders and shamelessly apologise sheepishly next day. They have failed to book Christiano Ronaldo for his dives and to get free kicks and penalties.
