The amount of people excusing Ronaldo with absurd argument like "he was invading his personnal space" is embarassing. He f*cked up a slapped and kid's hand who was standing behind a fence. It's not the end of the world but he lost it, period.
Ronaldo (37) Slaps Phone Out of Child’s (14) Hand | Charged after 5 months of deliberation

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I'd be interested to hear Jamie "Spitty" Carraghers take on this
He’s lucky there is no MNF he’d be caught between a rock and a hard place..
It's being sensationalist in alot of quarters.
He did wrong but he didn't kill anyone.
It'll all blow over
Can we do a raffle or sweepstakes?
Predict the next member of staff to threaten/assault a member of the public.
I'll go for Matt Judge pushing a woman down a flight of stairs at Old Trafford.

Some people will defend almost anything their beloved heroes do. I can't comprehend the mind of a person who is so infatuated with someone they have no personal involvement with that they are willing to excuse unacceptable behaviour. Although it's nothing new to idolise famous people, it's still something I find very weird and rather cringe worthy
The feck is wrong with peoplePlus Ronaldo immediately went into damage control on this, he knew it was bad. Can't believe people are finding ways to justify this
Are you on the wind up?
When was the last time United had a week out of the headlines?
So daft from Ronaldo.
Merseyside police will lap it up.

What a petulant and stupid thing to do , really expect more from such an experienced player , no excuse for it.
We all give to charities.
Contrary to the phrase it’s not down to the victim as to if charges are sought. That’s a decision for the police and CPS.
They can make a complaint though.
I'm pretty sure the law disagrees with that statement.
No excuses for what Ronaldo did. Let the police deal with it
I think you'll find his personal space was invaded by a very mature 14 year old that he didn't know was autistic.
You might want to rephrase this
Im sure I will get hammered by our liberal anti Ronaldo fanbase but that bruising on his hand looks the way bruises appear when they are about 3 days old.
Strange that there is not even the slightest of swelling either.

The guy is simply a bad person. That’s all there is to it.
It was a dickhead move. There are plenty of annoying little scrotes at that age range you would like to give a slap to, but you don't.
Except you, you don’t believe in them.
Who told you that? You do realize that everyone can read what I wrote, lying or showing your illiteracy isn't a good idea.
A lapse in judgment, not a crisis.
Erm, this kid is autistic.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum. I hate these players so much. Just unlikeable and Ronaldo I thought was one of the better guys
I like that thing some american cities have; where you pay some money then you can smash crystals, glass, etc to de-stress. I would pay for it.
Its almost comical how it turns out the kid is autistic too, no offense but its a something you will see out of comedy sketch (a dark one). Poor kid I hope he didnt get traumatized. Ronaldo needs to visit him personally and apologize in person. Make the kids life better as well while hes at it.
Man just end this season already. Feck it.

We really are the most unlikeable club. No excuse.
Genuinely thought when it was being reported that it was an actual child, not a 14 year old.
Buy him a new phone and some Everton merch and leave it at that, christ.

Yes, Ronaldo of course could not have known that, but if the kid wasn't autistic it would still have been an unacceptable act. Petulant and he should be embarrassed.
What if the kid says he will only accept Ronaldo's apology if he plays for Everton?
Then we’ve had a lucky escape
The kid would be a legend in my eyes
It's not an apology, its a punishment.
Come on kiddo, be a United legend. Its your moment to shine. RedCafe as your witness.
Its early days. Give the guy a chance
He’s working on his scouse/Madeiran accent first
The funny part is that Ronaldo invited the fan to Old Trafford to watch a match.
Hasn't the fan suffered enough?
I think he'd just want a new phone.

Let's hope he gets an iPhone.
