Throwaway comment...Seems that way to me.
I probably don't anyway, nothing to do with me going to matches though. ( I imagine).

I dunno about that like.
You're one of the level-headed ones on here when you're talking about football I always thought.
Me too. And I'm gonna do it again this season. So I can appreciate what he brings to the team without constantly feeling conflicted.`Last season, I fecking loved Ronaldo, and I , along with most other United fans, turned a blind eye to how much of a prat he is. To be honest, Its a massive shame that he is the way he is.
This is the thing. What he did may have offended us as people who have an emotional attachment to the club, but it was in keeping with his whole profession. In fact, as you say, when compared to some of his peers, he was positively saintly(well, maybe not, but you get the point).He's not that bad. He may not the be the most loyal and he may not be a saint but when you put it into context he's not all that bad.
Exactly, I can like a player more if he has a great personality, like Tevez or Evra, but I could never like a player less if he has a rubbish personality, I'd just ignore it.This is the thing.

I learned long ago that I can appreciate the footballer without feeling the need to like the man. And, like it or not, he's a feckin' damn good footballer. We'll be much worse off when he leaves, that's for sure.
Who says they don't?We have one of the best footballer in our club and people dont enjoy and appreciate that...
Welcome to the dark side, Pogue!I can absolutely guarantee we will all be telling our grand-kids about "that boy Ronaldo" and how nobody in the modern game is a patch on how good he used to be (that's human nature after all) so I, for one, am gonna focus on enjoying the remainder of the career of "Ronaldo the footballer" while he still plays for MUFC, without getting my knickers in a knot about "Ronaldo the man". Sometimes in life you just need to kick back and appreciate what you have, before it's gone forever, I reckon this is one of those occasions.
Viva Ronaldo.
Go and see the posts in the matchday threads or the after game threadsWho says they don't?
The matchday threads? You are using that as you're argument?Go and see the posts in the matchday threads or the after game threads
Well, if not judge it by the fans, by whom then? He gets slated for everything, for example after giving the signal for substitution or holding his wrist after a knock... no matter what, they give him stick whenever possible. That's ridiculous.The matchday threads? You are using that as you're argument?
As for the after game threads, a lot of people on here get extremely worked up if the team draws, loses or just beats a team by a single goal. I really wouldn't use that as an argument either.
I would say most United fans appreciate what a great talent Ronaldo and a wonderful player he can be on his day. Most of us wish he was back to his rip-roaring self right now but no one will forget the performances he gave last season. He will go down as a great player.
Every player gets stick. If you think what Ronaldo gets aimed at is bad, then I guess you've been ignoring what kkind of abuse is aimed at O'Shea. It's not an indication that not many United fans do not appreciate Ronaldo. Let's not forget the crowd has not booed him at all.Well, if not judge it by the fans, by whom then?

I'm taking the Costa Brava plane Y Viva Ronaldo
Sharing the planet is a strain for me and my Cal.So both you and Cal? are going to support the same side when Ronaldo goes to Spain?
I think most of his views are spot on to be fair.And your view just happens to work as a dig at Ronaldo at the same time, funny that eh?
I think you have a pretty odd view of your perception on here Heap.
You act as if because you're a matchgoing fan people don't like you're views on things, or that 'you're not welcome here', or something along those lines.
Can't really understand why to be honest.
We've been spoiled with talent over the past 10-15 years...Me too. And I'm gonna do it again this season. So I can appreciate what he brings to the team without constantly feeling conflicted.
Not often we get to watch such a talent in the red of MUFC. So we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
Oh so do I, he's straight to the point and I agree with a lot of what he says.I think most of his views are spot on to be fair.
And no, I'm not ass kissing, he tells it how it is.

As good as Ronaldo, at his best?We've been spoiled with talent over the past 10-15 years...
