Another 'Ronaldo is a diver' anecdote from a referee.
Quote:
The FIFA Top Class Referee, who took charge of his final Champions League game on Wednesday, claims Ronaldo is always looking to buy free-kicks and that they have to be prepared for his behaviour ahead of Champions League games.
"He's always out to get a cheap free-kick, especially at home," he told Ekstra Bladet. "We tended to talk before games about how he'd go down easily.
Hes the only one that has had a string of news articles specfically dedicated to him.
String of news articles?? You only posted one. I'm not saying this is the first article about his diving, because we both know it's clearly not, but you're making it sound like he is ruining the game. Him and him alone. He dives plenty, but so do plenty of other players. I would like to see you post other articles about other players and their diving antics. But you don't. You continue the Ronaldo witch hunt.
I'm not asking you to like him, don't really care. But outside of the diving, the guy is an amazing talent and deserves some respect.

Yeah, string of news articles, I dont know how many I've posted here, this is probably my second or third in regards to Ronaldo diving. Hes high profile, thats going to happen.
I dont post articles of other players diving because there havent really been any articles written about other players diving, does that mean that no one else dives? Of course not, but this article was on the front page of the soccer news sources that I tend to read. Hardly a witch hunt.
I posted this one because its recent, its in reference to the match he played yesterday.
Further, he is an amazing talent, and he deserves some respect, hes also a diver, something a World Class referee up there just confirmed..
People can be awed at the number of goals he scores from penalties and free kicks, but the fact of the matter remains that he wins those penalties and free kicks by being a diver as Claus up there has attested to.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Man, Robben must love all the diving attention Ronaldo gets. Takes the spotlight off him, and he dives far more often and blatantly than Ronaldo. Anytime anyone dives, it's brutal and pisses me off, but I can't believe the lack of attention Robben gets.

Hey, in other threads on the forum facts are considered trolling Par for the course.

So Alex Burrows also deserves respect because he scores goals in addition to all the other crap he pulls?
Are you seriously comparing one of the top talents in the world (disregarding the crap he pulls) to a decent player (at best) who rode the ponies to success?

They both use diving to get an advantage over their opponents. Their skill and talent level isnt whats being compared.
