Hopefully, he serves a ban and gets consequences for his actions.
Ronaldo (37) Slaps Phone Out of Child’s (14) Hand | Charged after 5 months of deliberation

I'd love to know Cavani's view on this (who was treated very badly in my opinion by the FA and United.) Why did he have to give Cristiano Ronaldo his no.7 shirt, can anyone explain it?
His goal vs Fulham I think was one of my favourite moments during the empty stadium period, I liked the guy. Also a player who says he does ballet to stay supple has balls.
Booing comes with the territory of being a professional footballer. If I was earning a fraction of what Ronaldo earns I'd ignore it and laugh at them under my breath.
Next week we'll learn he's getting a ban from a bad tackle back on Ashley Cole in 2006.
The universe is conspiring for a downfall of Christiano
It's just booing ffs, it's part of being in a highly public job and has been a part of the entertainment industry for centuries. It's impossible and frankly stupid to compare it to a normal person doing a shift at work
Good thing Hazard researched this about him before booting him.
Aside from the fact it was a kid, the guy is paid half a million a week. He knows with his fame and wealth this makes him a public figure and gives him the attention that earns him vast sums of money.
To hit a fans phone out his hand be it a boy or a man is disgusting, to then stamp on it makes it even worse.
I don't know if the phone call he made to the household was real or the content of the call, but if it is true the guy is scum. Whatever people say its assault of a minor, if my wife slapped a child's hand in anger at work she'd lose her job, possibly face criminal charges.
I'm actually pretty disgusted to read United are helping him with the case, the club should distance themselves away from it and condem his actions. If that was my kid I'd be furious.

Yes, it was petulant... look forward to seeing the phone for sale on EBay though ... 'as touched by CR'
No offense but that's why you don't.
Why, because I'm not a world famous footballer? Brilliant insight, that.
Have you ever come home from your work even frustrated enough to do that?
and you may well go to jail for GBH. What Ronaldo did was wrong, but you would then probably be in more trouble than he got.
The point I was making is that different things can be expected in a football stadium than in an office environment.
Correct. Which is why I used that example to point out the strawman argument I qouted.
Doubt he spent all of time seeing who the actual person booing was - there’s 1000’s of people.
probably just heard booing and saw a phone and knocked it out no seeing it’s a kid.

Brembo or Ferodo?
I know. Comment was just my frustration on comments "he JUST slapped him a little".
In reality, as a parent, i would not let him off the hook with "i am sorry".
It was assault on the kid. Period. Excuse that it is during the game, he was hot headed and shit like that is laughable.
Ha ha. Damn spelling
I don't see how being in a stadium excuses people to abuse, heckle and taunt other people without any consequences.
Fans pay to watch a game, not for the right to treat players and other people like trash.
Isn't this what makes the atmosphere interesting?

It doesn’t but it also doesn’t mean you can assault someone even with a slight slap or however you want to frame it.
If we were allowed to hit people who annoyed us at any time by law then it’s fine but it’s not how the world works.
I'm surprised the FA even remember. 5 fecking months!
And Ronaldo will pay for it, right? But let's not pretend like that 'fan' was in their rights. It's a scummy thing to do and it provoked an equally scummy reaction.
I’m a parent too, and I think I would tell my child to behave properly. If Ronaldo or whoever had the decency to call and apologize, I would accept that. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s not as if he hit the kid; he slapped the phone out of his hand. As a parent, I think I would tell my child not to behave in that way.
Wait, what? What exactly kid did wrong there?
Surely the club as recourse to take this up with the FA on the grounds that it's so long after the fact and such an easy thing to "investigate". I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a ban or whatever (no opinion really) but there needs to be pressure on the FA to fix their dysfunctional bureaucracy for as it stands it affects the integrity of the game.
They had to wait for the criminal investigation to end first.
Well, if that's the case then it should be expired once a season ends. The Cavani situation was similar too, they bided their time and then whacked him with a racism charge with no contextual sense.
Also, why would the FA need to wait for a criminal investigation to end? Could a club then through its associates file a criminal complaint if it's useful to delay a potential ban and then withdraw said complaint?
Because if he was found not guilty of any offence they can't charge him.
"Equally" Jesus wept.
I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist or anything like that but timing is interesting with us on the up and the small matter of the derby at the weekend… Quite a big headline Ronaldo missing the derby and does pose us problems with Rashford and Martial injured the last few games…
He does however deserve to be reprimanded for his actions.

That's not at all true.
They also said back in April that they'd do the same. I don't think Ronaldo would even say he'd do the same again. Some people go to extraordinary lengths to defend people who play for a sports team they like. It's feckin weird.
Apparently enough to get Ronaldo mad enough, booing in his face with the phone up in it as well.
You know what they say about opinions, right?
people who advocate violence against children are 'opinions' in my book

Should he not?
I don’t condone people doing what either of them did but it’s not quite equal now is it?
