First off, Luiz was lucky not to see red against Rooney only because he already had a yellow, but Rooney made such a big deal of it and he was barely touched. I guarantee you he could have stayed on his feet if he didn't flop.
Secondly, Rooney could have easily seen 3 yellows today. The dive in box in the first that was so blatantly obvious. that body check he did on Ramires when he was angry the ref didn't call a different flop, and for a foul he committed on Luiz.
Third, the pen was a pen, clear as they come. Zhirkov actually played it very smart. He used Smalling's inexperience against him and tapped the ball past him then let him trip him up when he ran by.
Rooney's elbow against Wigan should have seen him punished but the FA have vag!nas and wouldn't want to up set little mrs. fergie.
Vidic was rightfully sent off and could have been sent off a minute before when he fouled Drogba, no exageration here, five times in a row and then two-handed shoved him in the back to the ground. I was shocked he didn't get a card there, but luckily his anger got him sent off when he took down Ramires.
Maybe Vidic didn't want to play against Suarez. He probably knew he'd get sent off.
