Cappo Smiffy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Stolen from RI, spot on. Not a massive fan of the lad and if he wants to go to Real Madrid then there’s the door sunshine but……. It’s always somebody else’s fault isn’t it? Ronaldo gets Rooney sent off and is now single headedly responsible for England crashing out of the World Cup. What utter boll*cks. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> tbf it's the Sun et al stirring it up, I myself was surprised by the lack of 'blame' being attributed to Ronaldo from people I've spoken too, mates, work colleagues etc, most seem to dislike Ronaldo's attitude (diving, referee hassling etc), agree what Rooney did was stupid (but wouldn't give him grief about it, his temperment is a big part of his game) and are dissapointed at Sven, there's been a lot of begrudging acceptance we just bottle it on pens too <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Ronaldo claims he didn’t try to get Rooney sent off, claiming he was highlighting the foul. Automatically he’s branded a liar, but is their any evidence to suggest otherwise? What’s the universal tactic for trying to get an oppositional player booked or sent off? Running towards the ref brandishing the imaginary card. Guilty or not guilty? Did Ronaldo feign injury a la Thierry Henry? Guilty or not guilty? Talking of which, notice how Carvalho has come out smelling of roses in all this? Didn’t he ‘cheat’ by rolling around in mock agony? He seemed to make a remarkably quick recovery to say he’d just been ‘stamped’ in the balls. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Agree, but then as I say that's why the fans I've spoken to don't like the Portugese side as a collective, because of the play acting etc, Ronaldo went up to the referee once the ref had obviously blown up, it was stupid of him to get involved given all the circumstances imo, and god knows what he actually said to the ref, it's almost irrelevent in that sense. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: This whole witch hunt stems from the immediate desperate, spiteful BBC coverage. Alan Shearer: ’Rooney should stick one on him on the first day of training’. Really Alan? This coming from a man not adverse to kicking a fellow professional in the head. But that’s not cheating is it Alan? That’s playing the game the 'English’ way. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Mark's picked up on that I see, misquoted for a start, and in an article where genralisations such as "Whenever England lose there’s always got to be a scapegoat. Ronaldo fits the bill perfectly: young, cocky, flash and a United player to boot. Perfect." are prevalent, an excuse for a dig at Shearer is found who iirc isn't exactly loved up there? <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Ian ‘was that a wink?’ Wright. Jesus H. Christ – that’ll stand up in court won’t it Ian? Ronaldo winks 20 times an hour during a game. And what if he is pleased that Rooney’s gone? I’m sorry but at that moment in time Rooney is not a United team mate – he’s the main threat from a team that is now down to 10 men in a World Cup Quarter Final. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> tbf again, given the circumstances, the hightened emotions, and the feelings of fans at the time, the wink circumstantially fitted in with what appeared to be Ronaldo attempting to get Rooney sent off, I think it was an understandable comment personally as it angered me at the time But I still think it was possibly a tad silly for Ronaldo to make an effort to get needlessly involved in the Rooney incident - from a United perspective I mean. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Heinze would’ve done the same. He’s a United player but he loves his country more than United. He certainly loves his country more than England. I’m amazed that England fans always seem to think they’ve got a monopoly on patriotism and ‘putting your country first’. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> This part is a bit pathetic. "He certainly loves his country more than England." well no ****, is this meant to stun people? rile England fans or what? so pointless. And yea, England fans think they have a monopoly on patriotism. Hate being handed out for the sake of it here. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Incidentally, this is the same Ian Wright who said at half time: ‘I fear for Wayne in that isolated role. I can see him getting frustrated and into trouble in the second half’. Spot on Einstein. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Sort of agree with Wright there (not excusing Rooney's behaviour ofc), but don't understand why the writer has mentioned it, does he feel Sven's to blame for the sending off? is he mocking Wright yet agreeing with him now? :/ <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB:So now we’ve got the tabloids running a hate campaign against a young player who took turns tormenting both (world class) England full backs and had the balls to step up to score the winning penalty in a World Cup Quarter Final. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> It is pathetic, completely agree, and it will work to an extent which is the tragic thing, but, it is noticiable that there seems to be a far far higher percentage of rational minded views on this, maybe it's just me going around changing people's minds but I've seen no Ronaldo dartboards and I think general consensus is Ronaldo is a twat for his conduct, the cockiness and for getting involved, but he's not 'responsible'. That make sense? <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: As England plodded through, the only thing you could get out of some fans was ‘It’s the World Cup, the performance is irrelevant, the result is everything. If Portugal did set out to ‘get ‘Rooney than it says as much about Rooney as it does about them. The Portuguese didn’t invent winding up vulnerable players – it’s the oldest trick in the book. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Agree again, it's just a tactic, not the most admirable of one, and it is more common in sides like Portugal than our own (not saying we're innocent or 'too honest' as has banded about) and as I say I think people are more aware and therefore accepting of this mentality now, than in previous campaigns to be perfectly honest. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by BBB: Whenever England lose there’s always got to be a scapegoat.

ACou2000 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 As I said before, I dont make any personal judgements about players. Rio ifb as far as I'm concerned and care not for his off-field persona, ditto with Richardson. And also, as I said before, the Richardson hate comes from the fact that he's sh*te. He's fast and can smack a ball - possibly hitting the target every 5 shots and working the keeper every 10. Aside from that, his passing is awful, the simplest of balls are misplaced, his general footballing brain is poor, often taking the wrong option, and he struggles to have a real impact against ANY team of quality in a competitive game. West Brom was his level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
