Embarrassing for him, disgusting performance topped off with a stupid red.

In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, Imran (@Annihilate Now!) & Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to discuss disappointed FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton - confirming our shortest season in over 100 years. They also discuss the news that Michael Carrick is set to be United's manager until the end of the season.
It's a deliberate elbow, doesn't need to be "much in it". It's a stonewall red card.
13 career reds shocked me, though he is a colossal bellend prone to hissy fits
Kicking snakes off our island since 432 A.D. 
He’s such a horrible cnut of a person. I’m so glad he chose tonight to do that and get sent off. Icing on the cake.
missed out on at least 5 more penalties with that ban coming up
It was a deliberate elbowing but it didn't look that bad. A lot of theatrics from the Irish player.

Elbow (or punch) in the middle of the back is a bit like stubbing a toe or stepping on a plug - it'll always feel much, much worse than it looks.
Won't be able to do some stat padding against Armenia now. Will he miss any more competitive games?
You guys jinxed it with the title update. It was not my work, I'll have you know. Anyway, well done Ireland!
Nothing compared to his theatrics going off.
Deserved a red, could have killed the lad.
Messi wouldn't have done that.
Mainly agree with that, but he can't be surprised to get a red for it in the VAR era. Textbook violent conduct...
I went digging myself. He'll miss 1-3 games.
If Portugal finish top of their group - likely - then games 2 and 3 of that would be World Cup games.
Depends on how "serious" the offence is deemed to be. Conspiracy theorists inbound that FIFA will pull strings for a 1 game ban only.

Haha get fecked Ronaldo. Your boys took a hell of a beating!
Yeah, no chance Ronaldo would have reacted like that if roles reversed
Actually a good news for them i presume
red cards. 987 to go.
You can't excuse Ronaldo's behavior but I wonder if there was even any contact. There was no other camera angle to see.

He's such a twat, love to see it
He really is a dislikable knob. Can never warm to him.
He'll miss the first match and possibly second match of the World Cup.
And?
Ronaldo and his theatrics back in 2006 was worse regarding Rooney. I don't care what anyone says, that massively influenced the referee to show a red to Rooney.
I bet he won’t!
226 intonational caps is one hell of a figure - especially for a good team like Portugal
143 international goals isnt terrible either

Rooney literally stomped on a Portuguese player. Meanwhile, Dara O' Shea has a history of diving, just look at this. Hojlund got a yellow for this.
Honestly. He's becoming a parody at this point.
Just retire. At least from international football.

Wumming used to be banable offence, seems no more?
Only seen what’s been posted here but that is the most obvious red ever.
Ireland celebrate their biggest achievement in years, and Ronaldo being banned ensures Portugal get through the group stage. Win Win.
Stones being thrown at glass houses here. Let it go. Ronaldo is a d*ck head.
looks Like minimal contact and Ohara’s made most of it but even if he didn’t connect him it’s a red. He hasn’t swung and arm to shake him off he has tried to basically knock him out - if he hit him square 3 match ban would been least of his worries.
I still love the man regardless what happened at end of his second spell but lets himself down massively when losing.
And if there was contact shame on O'Shea for getting in the way of the great one's elbow
I partially agree but they'd have to change the rules just for him.
O'Shea has a history of doing that kind of stuff. He also tried to bait Ronaldo in 2021 where he kicked the ball from the penalty spot and then had a comical "reaction" from Ronaldo's "slap".
There was an angle during the match. He swung an elbow and made contact with the players back. A really uncontroversial red.
He’s left it a little late & better get a move on then.
None of which matters if you deliberately elbow an opponent. What are you arguing?
