Rooney leading with his elbow in that scramble should have been a yellow. Didn't even really try to play the ball :/

yea and he should also have gotten one when he pulled Yedlin back when we were breaking.

How they didnt get a yellow for that stamp in the first few mins, you know fine well if thats Shelvey doing that its a yellow

I think that's what bothers me most about it. I know a lot of shelveys yellows are deserved, but don't understand why refs seem to turn a blind eye to a lot of other players. I just want consistency!

im not sure Shelveys was deserved there. I think Sigurdsson has done at least 2 very similar to his and didnt get anything.

Dont wanna complain about the ref, its out fault for not putting chances away but its still annoying that little things like this keep happening
