Light said:made me laugh when shearer said rooney should 'lay one on ronaldo' when they get back to training ...
then realised what he said being a little politically incorrect and went ever so quiet
but i certainly agree with him xD
Levin said:Isn't it possible that the ref figured Rooney's first offense wasn't worth a red card, and he was sorting out the free kick... probably ignoring Ronaldo's antics... deciding on the red card when Rooney committs his second offense (pushing Ronaldo). Maybe he figured Rooney had earned the red card when adding both the crotch stepping and the push, and that's why the card didn't come up until Rooney tipped the scales with his roughing?
Viewing the sequence, it looks to me as if Rooney should have just kept cool and let Ronaldo earn his own yellow card for whining.

you have to understand, for the press, claiming we just lost and arent good enough isn't going to sell papers not nearly as many as claiming it is someone elses fault.ebenezer said:what i dont like is how the press and a lot of english people are like after....as i allready discussed with marc in the erlier posts. It seems impossible for the english press to just accept a defeat and say, ok....i guess we werent good enough. Instead they have to blame svenis who took them this far. It have by no means been easy for any of the bigger teams in the group play, and instead of complaining about how boring england played because of svens coaching maybe you can just be happy they got through the group as winners...which all the other big teams had a hard time with.

Bracken said:No I said they don't know what they are talking about. That's not flaming, that's my considered and humble opinion
The anti-English comments are those who have come on gloating specifically because England lost and saying we're exclusively hooligans - which is not particularly about views on Ronaldo is it?
I've not said anything about Ronaldo should die and neither has anyone else afaik. I've said I hope Rooney twats him on the training ground. Big difference.
Kinag said:In an earlier post (The England vs. Portugal post) there were one or two who said they hoped a sniper would take out C.Ronaldo.
Bracken said:He was a poor ref throughout. Even that incident should never have happened - Rooney was fouled when he was sandwiched by 2 Portuguese and the ref failed to call it. The incident came out of that. Have you ever actually watched live top level football ? Stick to wtf pwning in computer games because you clearly have no grasp of how football should be played and refereed.![]()
Ging said:Tbh i saw alot worse in the world cup that didnt get punnished - but thats ref consitency for you. Red/yellow he should have been punnished and england lost coz they were shit all through the WC.
Problem for Ronaldo isnt training or playing football in england, its gonna be living there.
Im sure there plently of people in Manchester who will quite happily chin the fucker in reward for his behaviour. Im sure his home location is available on public record and that he will be harrassed. In the next year/season he will have to have bodyguards and security follow him everywhere he goes. His freedom will be impeeded and he will become a virtual prisoner. Known aquaintences will be harrassed and maybe even abused due to their proximity to him. The english public have a very long memory and if he thinks this will blow over and he can carry on he is very much mistaken.
To a certain extent thuggary is never far from the english persona, wind us up and we lash out. His mear presence will wind the english up, untill he shows that he is regretfull of his actions he will never be left alone here. He will be hounded by the public and the press until he leaves.
I'll give him 5 months max.
