Football video: Cristiano Ronaldo sent-off for silly handball against Manchester City
C-Ron drops a clanger
What was he thinking? It is not like he handled the ball to gain a goalscoring advantage - he just patted it down. Was he protecting his pretty face? Whatever his reasons, it was a completely idiotic way to pick up a second yellow card.
It seems Manchester City are not his favourite opposition. The Portuguese winger was also sent-off in the Manchester derby in January 2006. On that occasion he was given a straight red for a lunge on Andy Cole.

I am about as far as you can get from a Ronaldo fan but it looks like for whatever reason he didn’t track the ball and he put up his hand to protect his face. I don’t see what sort of advantage he could have taken, so maybe the sending off is harsh.

He clearly misjudged that jump and put his hands up to prevent the ball from smacking him straight in the snout. A real SOFT-C**K move to pull in a great derby

Ronaldo handled the ball to deliberately get sent off, frustrate Ferguson and engineer his departure to Real Madrid.
