Fact is he left the stadium before the final whistle on Wednesday.

It has been dealt with. And its Ronaldo, not any other player, of course this will get a lot of attention and he counted on it, its just he thought it will play a lot different than this.
One of the things that sets out great leadership from bad is the way they handle conflicts. If we start from the understand that everyone makes mistakes in an emotional setting you realise that people are going to make bad decisions from time to time, that doesn't mean they're useless and can offer nothing over the space of the rest of the year.
It's the managers job to dish our fines, cut people out of the team or give them a bollocking when they step out of line, then he has to leave the door slightly ajar to allow the player a way back into the good books by responding well to that feedback. If you don't allow that you're telling everyone else that if they feck up at any point, they're gone and they'll never regain your trust again. That's not a conducive background for trust and freedom of expression.
Ronaldo can leave as soon as someone makes a bid for him, we'll all be glad when he's gone but in the mean time it's been handled well and no one's been spat on.
He had no reason to not try for England, but he was awful for them too.
He was just in really bad form, had a mental block and/or wasn't 100% fit.
Brilliant, you don't want to play, ok, shrug a shoulder, turns around, bye bye Amin.
He had his apologiser put that bit in after proofreading it.Ah the Ronaldo fanboys are out in force this morning. A few live ones in the last couple pages
Its irrelevant. One has nothing to do with the other. One is hard facts - Ronaldo left. One is supposition.
There is no doubt anymore, the poster was referring to the match day where I said I would wait for the facts before going in on him for being a child.
The two are not comparable, it's not even worth explaining why if you don't see it automatically.
And now that's come to light I'm comfortable with calling him a self interested bellend, before that fact came to light I was a bit hesitant to call him anything.
Agreed, I cant believe this thing doesnt matter or that its not news. He's the highest paid player in the league. I dont think we should ever have signed him but that doesnt really matter here. He is being entirely unprofessional and club need to get him out or cancel his contract. Its clear since the summer he doesnt want to be here. He could dig in and support the team but thats not who he is.
So you give the benefits of doubts constantly and continuously to people even when they are repeating the same behavior. You essentially never doubts people?
And why do you act as if it was question of calling someone's name, the point here is to criticize his repeated behavior, which has been officially sanctioned by the club.
What is the odds for CR7 moving to napoli. Going to put a tenner
The amount of deluded Ronaldo fans I came across earlier is simply staggering.
It is cult-like and embarrassing.

Siu boring?
I really looks like the club is done with Ronaldo and his nonsense.. Hope he gets the message and fecks off.
For me what Rashford did last year is way more offensive that what ROnaldo has done. But Rashford becomes useful this season while ROnaldo is shit. So obviously, like every walk of life, the useful one is way more be forgiven than the shite one.
And in this case no one can do it, it's accepted from no one. Players leaving the bench or leaving their team early without the approval of the manager is a rarity because everyone knows that it's going to be a massive deal. Some are acting as if it was common.
Now Rashford's "conduct" is being compared to Ronaldo's
I hope our away fans tomorrow change the lyrics to Diva Ronaldo
Ah I think we've known for decades that he is a 'child' of some sort or other.
I remember a few years ago I was listening to Off The Ball I think and they did a really long and genuinely interesting interview with the guy who directed that dcumentary fil on Ronaldo. The director lad said that Ronnie was great, and open and nice and so on. It was all quite complimentary. Then a question came up that broached life after football and Ronaldo the man. The response was really interesting. The guy seemed to genuinely like Ronaldo so he was very measured in this answer and the tempo of the interview jarred a bit but he said in gentle terms, that there was no man, just the footballer, now he explained in detail what he meant, stressing he was good father and partner and host, but that in way that was more monomaniacal than other, his existence was defined by the fact he was a footballer and that he worried for how he would cope when he wasn't the 'Ronaldo' we saw breaking all records on the pitch. Now i know this must be the case for many top sportspeople but it was interesting how this chap who was with him a lot and in a way studying him, saw Ronaldo.
It stayed with me but the one thing I never expected was others to struggle similarly with his ageing and inevitable decline and talk about him as if it was 2010.
We were already spat on and the fecker didn't even bother to apologise.
It has been so far handled exactly like it should. Kudos to ETH and the top hierarchy. Hope we will keep this piece of shit out of the squad until he fecks off.
Couldn't make it up.

The Pogba comparisons didn't stick so they moved to Rashford, next it should be Shaw and his burgers, Maguire learning greek, De Gea stealing donuts or maybe Martial and his harem.
While the thrust of your post is correct, a loss of form in an under performing team that he tediously apologised for is not the same as what Ronaldo is at. In any way. You can be as annoyed as you like about it, but it's not the comparable.

Incredible isn’t itOf course it isn't. What a ridiculous opinion.
Except he hasn’t apologised.
Like when he threw a tantrum against Brentford when he was subbed last season? Or when he refused to turn up for the pre-season tour? Or when he had his agent spend the whole summer trying to find him a new club? Or when he went public saying he wanted to leave? Or when he left a pre-season game early after being subbed? Or when he threw another tantrum when he was subbed against Newcastle?
Very ‘professional’ stuff.
Overshadowed because of Ian Wright, but he was a decent pro with a career most can only dream of.
Whoever defends him now is a Ronaldo fan, and not a fan of the club. Most ex players are poor pundits anyhow

I'm convinced that as @moses suggested it was the first sentence that they came up with or as you say they added it after realizing that it was missing. I'm disappointed by the lack of Ballon d'Or though.

Yeah, even our ex-players/pundits are on it - albeit not directly criticising the manager (unless I’ve missed something). One of them were talking about Ronaldo like a top 3 player in the league. Delusional. The guys an absolute football goat but gosh, age catches up to everyone. Literally no shame in that. Should never have been brought back to the club.
What he said makes sense if you are talking about prime Ronaldo and the present and future of your is supposed to rely on Ronaldo. Where he is wrong and where Ronaldo is also seemingly wrong is that the dynamic changed. In this case it's Ronaldo that should try his best to contact ETH and find out what his place can be and how he can help ETH.
More of a celebrity than a footballer these days. I hope we milk his fanboys of money on CR7 shirts, and let him go in the winter.
