At first it looked as though the referee wasn't going to blow for a free kick, then he saw the reaction of Rooney and think the occassion with it being a derby and all went to his head. I've watched it a few more times and it's the sort of tackle that in the Championship it would be 50/50 whether the referee would give a free kick.
I admit they have to look after the health of the players, and by that it was probably acceptable decision but they need to let the officials know what exactly is a red card offence as i saw Glen Johnson go double footed on someone the other night and only a free kick.
Also i do not like this new offside rule, i want the old one back.
