Could Ronaldo make the claim that he didn't hear the whistle in this case? Given that the whistle and hiskick occurvirtuallysimultaneously, he might have a case.

People saying he made no contact with Jones. Jones was on the floor after the initial foul and Ronaldo kicks out twice. He knows exactly what hes doing there. Could easily have been a red.

Cristiano Ronaldo should be sent off there , if hes not Ronaldo he probably is off. He knows what he is doing in my opinion,lashes out at Curtis Jones after an already high foot. Very lucky man not to be shown a red but frustration clearly showing

Ronaldo has kicked Curtis Jones (3) more times than hes had shots on goal this half (2).

The only reason why Ronaldo didn't get a red card is because Curtis Tanoh Kpassagnon Jerseys Jones didn't make a meal of it not because he kicked the ball
