those with the most comments are also those most critical of the player in his performance threads and ever since he came back.
those with the most comments are also those most critical of the player in his performance threads and ever since he came back.This has definitely got the makings of a media 5hit storm written all over it. He was absolutely wrong and completely out of line but he's apologised and he should do something for the lad but that's it.
I completely understand that a teenager (not a child to be clear) with or without Autism is likely going to be upset and take it mentally hard but to suggest the teenager is bruised and felt targeted or whatever is utterly ridiculous.
The media will push the family to make a huge deal of this and play every card possible. If he is genuinely Autistic of course that's really tough, but Ronaldo could have had no idea whatsoever about that. Its disappointing but won't be the first or last thing a footballer does in frustration.

The whole situation is like a comedy sketch. how it just escalated so quickly.
“She’s A Lying Bitch” Defend Ronaldo Fans Out Of Habit
April 11, 2022 - BREAKING NEWS, Football, Sports
KEEN to defend their favourite player of all time, Ronaldo fans have been quick to deny whatever he’s been accused of now, WWN Sport can confirm.
“She’s a lying bitch. Sorry, force of habit. This is a phone thing? With a kid?” offered fans, in their opening rebuttal to allegations.
“Well even if he did admit to doing it and apologised, he didn’t and he shouldn’t have because he’s done nothing wrong. There’s video evidence? It’s probably doctored. There’s witnesses? They’re just being put up to saying it by the Messi mafia?” reasoned Ronaldo loyalists, of an incident which saw the player smash a young Everton fan’s phone.
“Aside from the proof what evidence is there? A phone breaking when it’s thrown to the floor – that sounds very unlikely, phone screens are famously durable,” added fans, stalling for time while scraping the internet in the vein hope some comprising information relating to the Portuguese international’s accuser emerges.
“Aha! His mother’s neighbour’s dog parked on double yellow lines in 2006. This is who we’re supposed to believe over a goal machine with a 32-pack?” queried one ashen faced fan, the colour returning to their face.
Elsewhere, a queue of solicitors has formed outside the home of the child on the receiving end of Ronaldo’s outburst, with many suggesting the child could spend the rest of their lives in a full body cast due to the severity of the injuries.

They’re just being put up to saying it by the Messi mafia?
I'm surprised we haven't been attacked by Everton fans for just joking about this because the kid is Scouse, and we all are just a bunch of despicable Scousephobes.
What insults did the frail small child hurl at Ronaldo out of interest?
Personally I think it was wrong to do what he did.
We jumped all over Carragher when he did his spitting incident, and everyone was in agreement that what he did was wrong.
Ronaldo:
- Physically made contact with the person's hand by striking it with force, which resulted in the person's phone being knocked to the floor (he had no right to touch the person, and in doing so he allegedly caused marking/bruising to the person's hand; and he allegedly caused damage to the person's property - their phone)
- The person was 14 years old and is alleged to have a disability
Carragher:
- Purposely spat in the direction of a male adult in the driver's seat of a car, and in doing so spat at the person who was sat in the passenger seat of the car as well
- The passenger was 14 years old
The fact that the people on the end of the incidents were 14 years old, and that one has an alleged disability, makes these incidents absolutely shocking.
Even taken in isolation, striking the hand of a person with an amount of force that knocks their phone out of their hand, and intentionally spitting at people, are disgusting behaviour.
Jamie Carragher should never have been allowed back on TV, and Ronaldo deserves everything that is coming to him.
The Ronaldo apologists on here, should have a re-think of what they have said.

Rashford exchanged a few verbals with a mouthy fan and there's uproar and outrage.
Ronaldo slams some kids mobile phone onto the ground and just a "oh it's nothing" from the majority

Barring both obviously being stupid reactions that randomly involved 14 year olds (one disabled, one not), why are you comparing those two specific incidents?
Spitting is not comparable to slapping a hand. Plus the Ronaldo incident was down a tunnel of baying fans, not sat on custom made leather seats in an air conditioned coupe.
A good way to avoid this sort of confusion in future would be to not slap random teenagers

Just as a comparison, the thread about Carragher spitting on a kid in an adjacent car has 48 pages, and also a poll. We've got some way to go still.16 pages for this
I think Ronaldo still has some way to go to equal spitting in someone’s face to be fair.
Really??
Both incidents happened in England, and the law of the land states the following:
'Spitting on someone is classed as battery under the common assault category of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. Battery is the application of unlawful force, and as well as spitting, covers incidents of pushing and slapping. Spitting, if done deliberately, is seen as an assault.'
Did you miss the part of my post that said, "The Ronaldo apologists on here, should have a re-think of what they have said." ??
SORRY IT WAS THE PHONE

As if life was so simple.
I'd rather someone pushed or slapped me over spitting in my face any day. Even more so during a pandemic.
Will Smith would've copped so much more flak he'd spat a massive wad of phlegm into Chris Rock's face.I'd rather someone pushed or slapped me over spitting in my face any day. Even more so during a pandemic.
That would have been much funnier.
The signalling is virtuous.
You forgot to call them snowflakes
I don't care about the incident. I do however take issue with people acting all offended over an insignificant event.
As opposed to you who's acting all offended because they think others are acting all offended over an insignificant event.
I think you are among the most offended.
This modern phenomenon of eyerolling at non existent offence and outrage is bewildering.
Liverpool would be ahead
It should be against the rules to hang the phone over into their path. What is this kid gonna get with having the phone a little bit closer? A whole new perspective on life?
but also what Ronaldo did was wrong
The kid was using the wrong phone...
Too soon?
I heard that the kids whole arm fell off last night.
Crazy world we live in.

When’s the trial?
Have we explored the possibility that Ronaldo's unique form of vengeance is karmic retribution for something horrible this kid did in another life?
Lots of judgmental people around here. So he's not perfect and reacted poorly after a defeat. At least he cares. I'm sure Pogba was probably dancing in the dressing room...
Such a non story, shitty thing to do but he apologized and bought a better one , would that make up for the emotional damage probably not but it's best we move on.
So the phone assaulted the child. What did VAR do about it?
it will not be the first time Ronaldo's lawyers pay out....
at least this one is on the right side of the moral compass

Was Eileen Drewery the kids mum?
I'm old enough to remember back to simpler more innocent times, where the worst thing you'd hear in the news was players kung-fu kicking fans and kicking ball boys.
