Re: Ronaldo
 

he goes to play the ball but instead changes his mind and decides to swing his foot as far away from one ball :) as possible

a good sign as to how deliberate it was is his lack of an argument. if anything, he just goes to ask the ref what he got sent off for and accepted it

yeah but it's a different type of game is the world cup to the ashes

They don't have to be enemies either. It's not war!
I would much rather that all players of any team/country would choose not to try and rely on theatrics.

If I see any player dive I get annoyed and frustrated - it make a joke of football. How can you take a sport serious where someone's ability to fake an elbow to the face is rated equally to their ability to score a goal?

Re: Ronaldo
 

the problem with diving is how inconsistent the refs are with it.

adraino got booked for a blatant dive, as did that ghana player, yet cristiano ronaldo dives blatantly twice and didn't even get warned for it

Re: Ronaldo
 

lol I too will be glad to see back of Shearer and Wright they make me sick only turn up to pundit England games and don't bother to try and talk sense about other nations.

Remember Wright when Mighty N.Ireland went 1-0 at Windsor? i wish i could have got that moment framed.

As for attacking someones spelling, if i may twist the words of Alan Shearer maybe its just N.Ireland we are too honest here but we wouldn't attack someone over spelling over here it just does'nt happen here! LOL

Re: Ronaldo
 

Firstly we produced the best footballer that britian has ever had and indeed we are the smallest team to reach the 1/4 finals. The difference is we know are limits and don't cry when they aren't reached! we are ranked just inside the top 100 and therefore shouldn't qualify for the wc or beat teams like england...thats right we did! :D

By the way im 22 and go to uni!

Bias! :)

Re: Ronaldo
 

The worst dive of the tournament has got to be the other Ronaldo on Saturday night.

Retrospective punishments is the only way to sort it out. Have a team review each games and dish out bans and fines for diving and faking injury.

:p:

Re: Ronaldo
 

1. i haven't seen the ronaldo incident
2. teams or the FA

Re: Ronaldo
 

Like I said - neither of those shows in your posts here, so far.

Re: Ronaldo
 

i've seen the Rooney clip time and again and i'm still not sure if it was on purpose or not.. sometimes i see it from one angle and it is and sometimes i see the other side and think he didn't do it on purpose

anyone seen anything official yet to say if Rooney was sent off for a push on Ronaldo or a foul on Carvalho ?

despite this the facts are

• if Rooney wasn't playing as a lone striker.. something he can't do he wouldn't be so wound up
• we played rubbish in all 5 games.. consistent but still rubbish
• we still can't play for 90 mins let alone 120
• we didn't score against Portugal
• we didn't perform well enough to win the tournament
• Sven didn't have a clue what he was doing
• Jenas and Walcott had a free holiday

Re: Ronaldo
 

And your posts have showed maturity??? this is a forum for discussion not personal attacks. . . You have only posted around 60 odd times who you to judge if persons posts are :tu: / :td:

:monkey:

I don't think you will know full story about Ronaldo til Portugal win or get put out of WC.

Re: Ronaldo
 

the football in the tournament has been good, but it's a shame that diving is a valid talking point :(

i do agree that from the back it does look like an accident, but it's difficult to judge a backwards swing from behind

Re: Ronaldo
 

only time will tell. ill be interested to hear Rooneys official statement.
