Ronaldo rage - sweeping the nation again?
Daily Mail article with Boateng
Quote:
are players really pissed off at him? you could see it happening at a club fighting against relegation, maybe losing 3-0 to us and we've just knocked them down and ronaldo starts dancing on the ball. from the way it sounds from boro camp including the manager - they are practically begging someone to break his legs, all these media quotes about wanting to hurt him and its understandable to get frustrated. I hope none of these no-mark players try to £#%&! his career up. I guess we miss keano at times like these! |

I can't stand the way water-carriers like Boateng vent their frustrations at Ronaldo. So now a player showing his skill "isn't part of the game", and should be left to Sunday footballers?
I didn't hear too many people say that about George Best. There was the famous incident when he was booted by Terry Yorath whlist playing for Norn Iron. He has the free kick tapped to him and stood with the ball at his feet and beckoned Yorath to come and try it again. There was also the time he took his boot off to play a pass. These are the type of moments that were included in compilations made to show what a great player he was, and the type of things that fans pay to see. Fans don't pay the see snidey @#%&!s like Boateng kick lumps out of people and try to get players booked like he did with Rooney last night. |

£#%&!s sake, if Irwin played for them I'd loathe him too. The point is that players like Ronaldo are liable to make other players look stupid by virtue of the fact that he is better than them. Football is a game in which skill should be encouraged, not discouraged for fear that you might offend your opponents feelings and make them feel inadequate. |

If Ronaldo played for Liverpool and was being a clever @#%&! with one of our players i'd be screaming for him to be smashed in to next week. I wouldn't give a £#%&! about encouraging the 'beautiful game' i'd just want to see the @#%&! that was making my team look like @#%&!s sitting in a heap with broken legs. |

Do you write in to Soccer AM petitioning that they replace ShowBoat with "Break His @#%&!ing Legs"? And as for the "no tackling dept" line, there is a world of difference between a tackle and a reckless, blatant foul and the inability to perform the former is not an excuse for resorting to the latter. |

Ronaldo and Ferguson know that for as long as he takes the piss he's going to a target for the hackers.
If an opposition player was running down the clock at OT doing a 1001 step-overs and generally taking the piss out of our players would you be complimenting his beautiful ball control and skillful play or would you be screaming for him to be deposited in row z? Exactly. And I think 'break his @#%&!ing legs' would be a very popular filler on soccer am. |

Given the choice I'd want him tackled and see United attempt to get back in the game. The difference was perfectly summed up by one report I read which stated that instead of hunting an equaliser Boro were more interested in hunting Ronaldo. Obviously at times I've enjoyed seeing certain players unceremoniously dealt with, but that doesn't mean it should be a part of the game actively and openly encouraged by the likes of Boateng. If Ronaldo was English there wouldn't be half this nonsense about him, but after the World Cup players and fans alike see him as an easy target on which to take out frustrations at their own sides inadequacies. |

As if it wasn't clear Boateng was talking %@#$&!s
"People in England are probably the most respectful fans there are and if you are very good, or too good, nobody will boo you. We’ve had people like Cantona before and he wasn’t booed everywhere he went." Oh no? "“And when I watched Woodgate’s leg closely, I don’t think he made any contact at all." Well, this is the man who thinks he is entitled to catch a ball if it's heading towards his face. Maybe he should familiarise himself with the laws of football before attempting to pass judgement on Ronaldo. @#%&!. |

With the possible exception of Sounness and maybe Tommy Smith, players like that don't play for them & never have done. |

No. I mean players with character & a backbone. That rules out the above. |
