No, as I've said elsewhere he's just a bit of a winker.
urb said:I personally think Ronaldo is a wanker.
I agree with what you say.Groucho said:And what is to be read into that exactly? Both players smiled. If Ronaldo said 'we're gonna whip your arse.' So what? Is it the fault of Ronaldo for ribbing Rooney that Rooney trod on another players bollocks? Come on! I saw a football pitch not a playground.

Groucho said:... If you can't lose honourably you shouldn't play the game.
tommers said:the fact that he was even talking about that meant that it was an issue even before the game started....
I agree.Biffo said:If I saw an opponent stamp on my team-mates balls I would probably want to make sure that the referee was going to punish it appropriately.

urb said:I agree.
But it's easy to hate C. Ronaldo isn't it, coz he's already seen as a huge wanker!

hmmm.... must have been a different game. we're talking about england vs portugal.
3 penalties scored versus one. Portugal played for penalties better than england played for a win.tommers said:out scored?

gurrier said:Ronaldo was pretty smart about it. Ever since the Norn Iron game it's been pretty obvious to me that Rooney can be got at psychologically and that's what Ronaldo tried to do. More power to him. Anybody who's ever played much footie knows that getting the psychological upper hand on your opponent is a key part of footie. Attacking ronaldo for doing well what every decent player tries to do is just sour grapes.

So the tabloid press in other countries are remarkably well behaved? I think not.
The original poster might as well have posted up :
"No wonder everyone else is wary of black people!" <insert random link about an horrifcly violent crime that just happens to have a black person as the perputrator here> "This is why people try to avoid gangs of blacks on the streets.....of course, this is not aimed at anyone on Urban 75 and I know not all blacks are like that..........."

despite england having had their "best player" sent off and only having 10 men on the pitch? they decided to hold out for what is, essentially, a lottery?
do you actually watch any football? really?

Flashman said:It'll all be over soon. Don't forget, their "World Cup" is effectively over now tooso the actual football fans can just sit back and watch the semi's and final, whereas the bigots will be twiddling their thumbs for two years (assuming England qualify obviously) not knowing what to so with themselves.

They pulled off their centre forward in the second half and played with a 6 man midfield. They played to make sure that they wouldn't lose with the idea that as 10 man england tired they might nick a goal or at worst they'd have a much better chance at penos. That was why it was one of the shittest game of football in the tournament. If it wasn't for the entertainment of the sending off / Beckham pretending to be injured, I would have fallen asleep.tommers said:portugal played for penalties?

Are you aware of what a penalty shoot out is? The only time one occurs is when neither team has out-scored the other. Duh!![]()

tommers said:erm.... nope. other way round.

isvicthere? said:....in normal play. A penalty shoot out only ends when one team has out-scored the other (after an equal number of attempts, that is no less than 5).gurrier said:out-scored!

Duh back at you.
Flashman said:Probably.
You've misunderstood me completely at any rate, it's the other way round.
Groucho said:You are an obsessed idiot. You post the same crap on every thread.
The original post talked about "England tabloid newspapers and tv stations" not English people. in order to avoid getting attacked by idiots the o/p then went on to make it clear that English people were not the target of the criticism. However, obsessed idiots like you cannot comprehend - the mildest criticism of anything English and you are off on yor rant about racism.
I have little doubt that as soon as someone says owt critical about the English weather you'll be sticking up the same post, incomprehensible though that will (also) be.
English tabloids are amongst the worst in the World. A bit off topic, but whilst there are plenty of countries with tabloids as bad, there are few countries boasting a so called 'free press' with such a limited spread of political views represented.
isvicthere? said:OK, apologies. But your wording was a little bit unclear.
Rubbish, it goes on in every game, at all levels, people who are on at Ronaldo have no idea, he did nothing at all.Flashman said:I wouldn't, and at least one of my mates wouldn't, but I know plenty of pricks who would do it.
