The Guardian listing Ronaldo's 'offences'.
On the list includes Gareth Southgate being wrong and Ronaldo getting booked.
Booked. But it's placed on a list of offences to imply there's some sort of discipline problem with him. Since when do we list run of the mill bookings? Crimes and misdemeanours Cristiano Ronaldo has been involved in his fair share of controversy since arriving at United from Sporting Lisbon as an 18-year-old in 2003 May 15, 2004 Aston Villa W2-0 Receives his first red card in English football after two bookings, the first for a dive and the second for kicking the ball away December 7, 2005 Benfica L2-1 Fined £4,000 and suspended for one European game for a middle-finger salute towards the Benfica fans in a Champions League match January 14, 2006 Man City L3-1 Shown a straight red card by Steve Bennett for a lunging tackle on Andy Cole in the second half. He appeals but is suspended for three games June 1, 2006 England D0-0 Infuriates England fans as he urges the referee to dismiss Wayne Rooney and then winks as his United team-mate gets his marching orders December 2, 2006 Boro W2-1 Gareth Southgate calls Ronaldo's behaviour 'cheating' after the Portuguese player takes a tumble to win a 19th-minute penalty March 7, 2007 Lille W1-0 The winger is booked for diving after going down following the slightest of touches from a Lille defender August 15, 2007 Portsmouth D1-1 Sent off for an apparent head-butt on Pompey's Richard Hughes towards the end of the game as United stumble to a second consecutive draw |

Intersetinly two pages later there is a picture of Hleb doing exactly teh same thing Ronaldo got sent off for. No mention of it in the report. No booking either as far as I know let alone red card.
I'll be watching closely to see that ALL players who touch foreheards are sent off this season. |

He comes out with cliché after cliché. Pretends his team 'tries to get the ball down and play' when in reality, they're as boring as hell. He blames referees all the time instead of identifying the errors of his team - the thing he can actually address. He suggests that the big clubs get the decisions He'll be out of a job soon and cite bad luck and injuries Hhhhmmm.....seems qualified enough to me. |

We all know why they do it, it's because he plays for the biggest club in the country and is our "biggest" player (not in my eyes but in a lot of people's). They want to sell newspapers and know people will buy it as a result. Get worried when they stop writing about us and start writing about Chelsea or the Vermin.

It also mentions the booking against Lille last season when it was clearly a penalty and he got booked for diving on reputation alone. Ronaldo got kicked all over the pitch last night and never fell over once but got nothing from the ref, it basically says to these players they have to fall over to get anything.
