Here's how I saw it. Nani is on the floor, Neill accidentally (?) nudges him. Then Nani gets pissed and tries to head butt his you know what? Then Neill slaps his face, and Nani goes for the full blown head butt.
I couldn't stop laughing for some reason when i saw it.
I think both should have been sent off really.

As a Utd fan, i would say it was warranted considering how trigger happy some refs can be, especially this one.
He was at the Chelsea game and claimed he couldn't see a thing when it came to the handball. He seems a bit inept, but Nani got what was coming, Ronaldo got a red against Portsmouth early in the season for a similar offence, even if there was no force in the "headbutt". Neill was worthy of a red too but less than Nani. This behaviour by United player is not what our football is about and that is often made clear by Fergie which is why every one knows how Fergie manages his team.

Oh dear, football brings out my atavistic side. Nani's head-butt on Lucas Neill brought a red card and rightly so. But yeah, they both should have got sent off. Oh, and don't feel guilty, I found the whole shenanigan bloody hilarious! Nani tried to dive AFTER he saw Neill go down - what a clown! Definitely warrented.

Nani - Portuguese
Lucas Neill - Australian
Both bloody outsiders !!! spoiling the game of England !
Poor show by both....they fought like girls !!
NANI IS A BUTT- HEAD TO HEAD BUTT !
He will not play next 3 premier league matches and fined 60,000 pounds ! crazy ! I am ready to take any headbutt for that kinda money !

altho neill slap (touch?) nanis face... it doesnt give nani the right to do what he did. its a very silly thing to do. especially when ur team is already in a comfortable lead. hopefully this will be a valuable lesson to nani.

I am a Man U fan but have never really liked Nani for being selfish anyway so I dont really care.

Yeah, he deserved it and seriously Sir Alex should fine him like he did to Ronaldo during training, it was a daft decision to do what he did...

Nani: Yellow card
Neill: Red Card
