Sorry, the hat-trick. I would be shocked if he doesn’t remain on the bench for the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Can’t believe the crowd and commentators giving Ronaldo all the plaudits because he smiled when his team scored and tried hard when he came on. sort of thing I did for my kids when they were toddlers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveInSA Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thank you and goodbye. I can’t stand the bloke. I can now like the Portugal team again. Man Utd - not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Portugal denying rumours that he threatened to leave the squad when he was dropped the other night. This whole thing has backfired on him spectacularly. For the first time in his career his mouth is writing cheques that his body can’t cash. Sure, he’s going to go to Saudi and earn fortunes, but he'll have likely thought he would have still been able to get a deal at one of the top European clubs, and such is his ego that the personal wealth is a distant second to how he’s perceived. And unfortunately for him, he’s starting to become a laughing stock. He needs to wind his neck in, accept that age is catching up with him and bow out gracefully, or else he’s going to find he has very few friends left when the limelight has faded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of us like to laugh at Man U, but he was (is?) a legend there. He was earning a fortune, playing in front of a crowd that adored him. What better way to finish your career? Help the young lads come through, maybe do coaching. But no - his ego wouldnt accept him not playing every week. He will regret it, when he is kicking a football around a dustbowl in Saudi.

The Gasbuster Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 IF (and it’s a big if); Portugal were to win the World Cup on Dec 18th, and he was not playing, what chance of him doing “a John Terry” to lift the trophy ? I would be surprised if it didn’t happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the reason why he done it, no dignity or sportsmanship, all attention seeking to boost his profile one last time before he hopefully disappears off the radar and back to work as a waiter in his restaurant in Madeira.

cidered abroad Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I remember in 1970 at the end of Brazil beating England in Mexico, two truly great footballers shook hands and hugged each other as they walked quietly off the pitch. Bobby Moore and Pele. Edited December 10, 2022 by cidered abroad 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwicolin Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 What does Ronaldo do after Portugal lost. He walks off ,crying ,and instead of staying on the pitch ,with the players and fans. It is all about him. Nobody else. Bye-bye, Ronaldo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
