Rooney's ban was to be expected tbh, a red card for attacking another player carries a mandatory 3 match ban. The only room for play they had, is adjusting the penaly upwards...
Meh, as far as I'm concerned if you pass back to your centre-back who has a half of pitch to himself you might as well restart counting.
Where does it carry a mandatory 3 match ban?
UEFA rules state a 1 match mandatory ban, and then the hearing to establish further punishment.
He did deliberately kick him from behind, I've got no complaints.
