They've already fudged Ronaldo's ban for getting sent off very recently - it's a 3 match ban, he's served one and the other 2 matches are a suspended ban, suspended until he retires.

Of course. It is vital that we all see him walking around the D for 88 minutes a game, and flailing his arms about in frustration for the other 2.

The plus side, if you are Portuguese, is that if they ever have to play a whole match with 10 men, they are well practiced.

I imagine there will be some serious questions being asked already as to how that could happen... one would have thought one of the prime design criteria would have been the ability to isolate fire, not least in an individual building, let alone between separate ones.
