Everytime our player was fouled, he called it. It was the same with Barcelona players. He basically called every fould that he could have called, it was annoying but hadn't he done that, you'd have even more reason to moan.

The second penalty was debatable. Ronaldo fell down very easily and I think he could have stayed on feet - very much like Eto'o in the second half when Rio tackled him. Then Evra's tackle on Iniesta was equally controversial, he didn't get the ball. Point is, you rarely see referees blowing the whistle in such situations. The last foul on Ronaldo was never a penalty, he wanted to fall down there and that's what he did.
