A one off is fine... but 3 times and this time he's on camera gesturing to the bench, waving an imaginary card less than 30 seconds before he hacks the player down to gain the card. He then says straight after the game on the pitch that he did do it to a reporter and then backtracks when he goes in front of tv cameras to deny it!
UEFA need to make an example of him and Real Madrid because this is not their first rodeo doing this and until UEFA clamps down in a big way it will keep happening.

This kind of thing has been going on for decades. There is not much can be done about it. On the flip-side, the game is supposed to be a contact sport, yet almost every tackle where a player goes to ground is usually called as a foul, and yellow cards should only be issued for dangerous fouls of malicious/deliberate intent.

Contact sport within rules, football is not rugby or american football.

There are countless times in shoulder to shoulder challenges when a weaker player ends up on his ass and appeals and get a free kick. The fair play rules have been taken too far and too many "soft" fouls are are awarded.

Well, that yellow card didn't work out well for Ramos & Real Madrid !!
The CL is wide open this year, RM out, Juve look like they may go out tomorrow.

Loved it! I was celebrating Ajax's goals wildly as a F U to Ramos. Arrogant [oops]!
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I remember Beckham once picking up a deliberate yellow for England and the soft tw@t admitted it in post match interview. I remember his cheesy grin after he coughed up! #bellend #thicktwat
