Everything is always boolemic with Cristiano
If it's an Irish crowd it's more than likely pantomime stuff but he'd cast himwlf as the villain a few weeks earlier with those two late goals to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and break our hearts.
No idea what the crack was with Villarreal but he's probably scored a hatful against them over the years.
I wonder if Messi will get boo'd at City tonight
All of them?
I think every set of fans hates a handful of players at other clubs. Usually because those players have done something 'egregious' in the past like cause an injury, or dived to get a penalty, or scored lots of goals against them, or been a scouser.
I'm guessing the second last of these is most applicable with Ronaldo. The majority of fans in La Liga must have PTSD after watching him break every record in football against them over the course of a decade.

Can you name any Premier Lesgue footballer, past or present, who was routinely booed by opposition fans because they were such a prolific goalscorer?
Fair point. He does get it worse than most.
But I think the impulse is always there, even with the likes of Shearer, Henry or Aguero. It could be Ronaldo's very public narcissism that pushes it over the edge. Then once you have a critical mass doing it in a stadium, everyone joins in.

Great user name btwVideo, please
Well Ireland has a load of Liverpool fans so that might explain that
In England it’s because Ronaldo won titles for United. What Messi has won means less to English fans. Plus he’s a bit of a moany twat on the pitch. So is Messi but he seems to get off lighter. Perceptions I suppose.
Used to get boo’d all the time with us in 2006-2009. Firstly cos of the World Cup and then because how fecking good he became.
Paranoid Android is the best song of all time!
In his first spell here, he said the famous words “maybe they hate me because I’m too good”. Needless to say, he’s only gotten better since then.
Yep.
I’m surprised it took almost a full page before it was mentioned. Although that would rely on football fans (collectively) actually having some kind of morals. The peak of this being City fans singing about Ronaldo being a sex offender, when they have Mendy on the books and the historical child abuse stuff at their club.
People forget what an absolute cnut Southgate was to Ronaldo at that time, accusing him of diving all the time in the press. Ronnie was just putting him and his crap club in place with that interview"When you hear accusations of cheating how do you feel?"
"I feel good"
He is himself quite theatrical, he's a showman, almost a persona, his gesticulation and body language elicit reactions? It's part of his genuis.

Never forget
Best used to get the same treatment. Opposition fans were always barracking him but it never seemed to worry him. I remeber one game at Elland Road where the Leeds fans were on his back. Best scored twice and even the Leeds fans had to applaud him.
He had the bad taste to be better than Rooney.
Oi what about mine

I have never seen it but it definitely makes it funnier if so.
I support your crusade to rid the world of killing moths.
It's also a radiohead lyric from the same album as paranoid android.
Because he's a cod, and a disgrace to professional football.
It's somewhat disappointing that this fact is lost, and ignored, by the majority of our fans and posters in this thread. That being said, I'd be surprised if that's why other fans boo him anyway to be honest.
Why? He has not been found guilty of anything. Any debate is just going to descend into guesswork, gossip and «he said, she said».
They're not Boooing him.
They're shouting "Boooo-urns"
They're shouting "Boooo-urns"
Why?
Cos he's an awful prick and the most likely reason you're going to lose when he's playing against you?
Also at a live game it doesn't take much at all for fans to zone in on you as the villain of the day to be fair, something as innocuous as contesting a throw in with the ref can get the boos rolling in.

For the Ireland fans it's was a joke really. Also it was after a game where he should have been sent off then scored 2 to win the game. Hardly surprising in the next game they jeer him is it?
Villarreal probably because he tortured them for years.

Not going to get into it here, as you say there's no point. But if you look at the actual thread where it's discussed, there's plenty of reason to be disappointed.
Ironically, I like these sort of players much more - what's the point in supporting a clean cut boring athlete with no persona about them?
I think I support these types of players because the amount of criticism they get is just totally over the top. Neymar's another one I forgot to add there. Football fans love a narrative, and once one sticks on a player it's so hard to scrub off.
I happen to dislike people who are alleged rapists.
Are we supposed to all turn our backs on him and hate him because he’s not been found guilty of something?
Let’s not get into the whole debate of that case but come on, nobody boos him for that allegation and it’s totally unfair for it to be even factored into how he’s perceived by fans and critics alike.
