Whopper.
Im Irish! I was supporting my own players!Imagine not supporting your own players or being happy to see them score, how sad & miserable
Oh he’s doubling down is Michael Hutchence.Crikey nothing. I hope he’s a lot better for us than he showed tonight. We are going to be coming up against the best teams in the works. If he’s going to be in the box waiting for crosses from us, where are the coming from? I can see it being a hype job. It’s just an opinion.I hope I’m wrong. I think Cavani could have offered the same thing
He did nothing in the build up.Just a poacher
I can't believe anyone with any intelligence tries writing Ronaldo off as that.

Honestly mate, I thought I was a miserable bastard in life….but meeting a United fan who isn’t misty-eyed about Ronaldos return, and who’s worrying that it won’t work…..you’ve made me feel so much better about myselfCrikey nothing.

SIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Should have waited 30 minutes to post this, typical knee jerk nonsense. The best player ever joining us is a mistake, yeah right, go to bed.1. His wages will stretch the frontier which agents will be able to explore when dealing with us over contract extensions in the future (we have seen this in the past already with Sanchez, Pogba, DDG). See Barca.
2. Non-existent defensive contributions will impact our shape and will put an immense pressure on our midfielders. Everyone could see the difference between Cavani and Martial last season and how it impacts our ability to press effectively from the front.
3. He can’t play with his back at all and do the hold-up as he only operates well in spaces since he’s not your classic #9.
4. In case he’ll be performing poorly Ole will shy away to change him due to his status and ego in order not to upset him, which will hinder our team.
I personally feel he’ll end up being a costly mistake for us (taking away the balance that Cavani brings) and Ole (will ultimately lose the job as a result) when you don’t look through the euphoria lenses. I may be underestimating Ronaldo greatly here but this is my feeling with respect to this transfer, having watched him play these last few seasons where he struggled to influence the games when he’s not scoring penalties or poaching goals are not on.
Can we do a poll on this?

Misty eyed? I’m Irish, I would have rathered we held on. I just watched him struggle against a league of Ireland / premier league u23 / championship level team. He got the goals but did nothing for the team in 88 mins. If he’s going to play as a poacher for us he’s going to get marked out of it and kicked out of it more often than the majority seem to think. Also thinking it’s possibly going to change Brunos role for the worseHonestly mate, I thought I was a miserable bastard in life….but meeting a United fan who isn’t misty-eyed about Ronaldos return, and who’s worrying that it won’t work…..you’ve made me feel so much better about myself
What did Bruno do? How good was Dias?Misty eyed? I’m Irish, I would have rathered we held on. I just watched him struggle against a league of Ireland / premier league u23 / championship level team.

Yup, this hasn't the first thread like this I've seen but at least the other people did it when Ronaldo was signed and not after watching a game of Portugal and base his whole opinion in that single game, which at the end turned to prove the OP wrong. You really have quite a few miserable fans.OP having a mare.
Mate, Bruno was non-existent tonight. Are we writing him off as shite too? Ronaldo was shite and scored twice. How many games have we drawn against lesser opposition in the last few years?Misty eyed?

The crosses were very ordinary, the kind Shaw or Bruno can play with ease. Ronaldo makes them into goals with incredible instincts and an exceptional leap. If all we need to do is put in basic crosses like that, we’re laughing. The idea that “just” scoring the two winning goals in a poor team performance is nothing to write home about is pretty silly…that’s what wins titles.Crikey nothing. I hope he’s a lot better for us than he showed tonight. We are going to be coming up against the best teams in the world.

Pointless reading on after that.Misty eyed? I’m Irish
SecondedBan him
Or to make failure seem satisfying in whatever way possible. Sometimes, I wonder if football fans just can't handle the negativity nowadays.People try so hard to go against the grain and be edgy.
They were all poor, that’s fair. He’ll definitely score goals for us I’m just not sure how we will end up playing overall if you get me. I want him to win the league and CL with us and all that but I’ve defo got some PTSD from the last few yearsWhat did Bruno do? How good was Dias?
it’s one fecking match, and he just single handidly won the fecker.
I don’t think Bruno and Ronaldo look all that good together any time I’ve watched a full international match. I hope he wins the balon d’or with us and Bruno can stay as influential and productive. Ireland deserved to get something out of this game!Mate, Bruno was non-existent tonight. Are we writing him off as shite too? Ronaldo was shite and scored twice. How many games have we drawn against lesser opposition in the last few years?
Anyway that’s not the point….Ronaldos signed for us….just enjoy the romanticism if nothing else. If he’s shite you can tag me and I hope it makes you feel happy (because god knows it sounds like you need it).
I know. I am only expecting 46 goals."Huge miss" is a bit OTT. However I think people should be a bit more realistic as he is not gonna score 50 goals a season for us like some people here think he will (would love to be proven wrong). He will do just fine.
