Good post.The game was done by the time he came on. He gave his congratulations and walked away. People make it all about him, by saying he's doing this for the attention etc etc... he did the right thing at the end of that game. Let the guys who did all the work enjoy it. If he ran around wildly celebrating, it would be the same thing; he did fcuk all, what's he celebrating like that for? All these morons have let their childish hatred for him take over, so he can't do anything right.
He's had a rough time personally, people seem to forget that, his age is showing, it's clearly all catching up with him now, and playing a role in his poor form and he is struggling. Doesn't matter who you are or what you do, the pressure and scrutiny he's constantly under, the cracks are opening up and it's starting to show. Add in losing a child only a few months ago and it's a whole shit storm of crap to deal with. Then you get his behaviour, the walking out, the outbursts, the gestures, that fecking god awful interview with that massive bellend.
It's like he doesn't understand the reasons why he's not playing well and is just lashing out. I said during the summer he was right to take the time off, when his child was sick, imagine losing a child and then having the other ill in hospital only a month or two later?? The mental impact of that cannot be ignored. He should have taken even more time off. But you had plenty of cnuts on here thinking he was taking the piss, mostly the same sad cnuts who take joy in him being dropped and see everything he does as being wrong.
I don't hate him, his actions were wrong and the club were right to let him go and he's been rightfully dropped by Santos. But, I don't see the need people have to see wrong in everything he does and take joy in seeing him humiliated at every turn. Personally I've been in a similar situation and understand how it affects you in your everyday life afterwards, I gave up playing for over 2 years because I wasn't right mentally and couldn't clear my head to go out on the pitch and just play, that was only a few times a week. Thankfully I sorted all that shit out and am back playing probably better than I ever have for my level, which is shit in the grand scheme of things.
So in summary, sad people who have sad lives will take joy in him being humiliated because it will brighten up their sad existence for a moment. Me, I understand where his frustrations are coming from, I think the club were right to boot him out as was Santos to drop him. He's clearly hurting and dealing with a lot of stuff coming to a head at once and being one of the most famous players in the world, with all the scrutiny on him, it doesn't look like he's dealing with it well at all. People including the media really need to have some common sense and empathy and just lay off.
I completely agree, I think it's going overboard now and people are just basking in the glory of his downfall. I know he's been a top class cnut but it seems like everyday there's another article shitting on him. I mean how does the media know he threatened to quit on Portugal because he was dropped ? I'm pretty sure Ronaldo and Santos had that talk privately, so unless there was a Record bug in the room recording the conversation, how would they know ?
I have no doubt that Ronaldo doesn't really have 'love' for any club, even Real Madrid, I'm sure if Atletico wanted to sign him, he'll have no quarrels about going to them, he views club football as a way to further his personal records, stats and success but it has always been different for Portugal and for all we know he's accepted the bench role with Portugal and there's nothing wrong. Of course he may not be happy about it, he's on the bench, it's only normal but he's definitely accepted it.
