This has been discredited and the case dismissed. Better be careful, and the Caf better be careful about bandying discredited documents, which were part of the reason the case was dismissed.
The comprehensive Ronaldo thread
- Thread starter Red the Bear
- Start date
Probably a mix of Kamoshida and Shido. The treasure will be his own statue made in goldHe has entered that territory, for real. Cartoonish egomaniac. Wonder what his palace and his treasure would be...
Corrected for you.
Well, Maradona never played for a super team, so his trophy cabinet is as full as you would expect.
80s football had great teams, but there wasn't Bosman ruling to build super teams yet.
Cristiano played for stacked United and stacked Real Madrid.
That's what I meant with putting things in perspective.
The documents weren't discredited as far as I know? The reason the case was dismissed was because of the way that the documents were procured right?
Fruit of the poisonous tree or something?
If they were discredited .. how much did Ronaldo sue DER Spiegel for printing that document?
Yes and no
It was harder to qualify for tournaments due to smaller number of spaces for fecks sake
counting the Nations League as a major trophy is the funniest bit
I swear I thought I had lost it. Kept thinking 2 , how is it 2. Was thinking it have been some Fifa continent tourney or something.
Then I read nations league
Yep. Cristiano's camp did try to discredit it obviously and did a good job of it in the court of public opinion, but the court only dismissed it on the basis of how it was obtained, not because it was declared fake or not-reliable iirc
Yep, the fanboys like to pretend that it was disproved but this was never the case, as you say how it was obtained wasn’t legal so it wasn’t admissible evidence.
Which doesn't mean it wasn't fake or not-realiable, just that the court didn't even get to the point of ascertaining whether it was or not because it was inadmissible in the first place
For the record: I believe Kathryn Mayorga. It's the reason i dislike the guy nowadays

But wasn’t it client / attorney privilege? So it didn’t matter how it was obtained really.
Dunno mate, i'm going by memory here, no intention to look it up. Possible i might be wrong
His PR team must have worked well since I'm being admonished for quoting it
along with (unfounded) claims of the leak being discredited (along with vague threats of potential lawsuits).Not saying that he definitely should have been convicted based on that evidence in a court of law ( Breaching attorney client privilege/ Fruit of the poisonous tree etc) but it's a weak defence for his actions considering the content of the leak.

Yeah you'd have to be a total apologist not to realise what kind of person he is.
She basically wants him to do the Piers meme
So it's not just Cristiano, his whole family are bunch of weirdos it seems.

Didn't his other sister "threaten" Ten Hag the other day by saying karma exists? His mother, sisters, girlfriend are all super weird.
Apologies then.
FACTOS
Haha but Ronaldo has the Euro Cup with Portugal, 3 x Consecutive Champ League trophies. And he's likely to win the World Cup. You cannot ignore these.
Out of court he paid her a fortune to drop it and go away. It’s generally not something innocent people do.
That’s the only England match I’ve ever been to! I was in London on a training course for my first job and someone in the office had secured a few tickets.
Much as I enjoyed it, I felt dirty cheering two goals from evil scouser David Johnson. He died last month
Wilkins was at the top of his game then, having nearly just led United to a league title. He spent nearly all the following season injured, and I reckon was never the same player afterwards.
Also sued DER Spiegel about the tax leak articles (and lost) but not the rape accusations leak articles (despite threatening that he would).. that's abit strange.
Personally I'd prefer to be known as an alleged tax dodger than an alleged rapist!
It was my first England match at Wembley, saw them a few years rearlier at Hampden against the JocksThat’s the only England match I’ve ever been to! I was in London on a training course for my first job and someone in the office had secured a few tickets.

His treasure would definitely be a bust of himself.
I think title of this thread should be slightly modified. "The comprehensive end of Ronaldo thread" sounds more up to date considering what's happening.
it wasn’t discredited, it was the way that information was obtained that they couldn’t use it in court
Sure, but I’d say having scored 118 goals in 195 caps over that period would means he will naturally get most of the credits. It’s similar to how people giving most credits to Pele in helping Brazil won 3 WC, when in fact it was a super team comprised of many great players too.
So it's not just Cristiano, his whole family are bunch of weirdos it seems.
They've suffered? Wow
It seems narcissism runs through the whole family.
He's had a fantastic career and he's been the best player in a very good Portugal team, just like he was the best player in a fantastic Real Madrid and the last couple of years in his first stint with us. He deserves a lot of praise for what he's done on the pitch throughout his career, really extraordinary stuff. He wouldn't have the same lagacy without a lot of fantastic footballers around him along the way though. The ESPN poster with the championship stats for Portugal with and without him is extremely unbalanced, too simplistic and without context at best.
That said: He's become an intolerable character and the football he's been bringing the last few years has been a burden too heavy for the teams he's played for to lift. There's not a top club in the world he wouldn't make worse with his presence. He's like the definition of a charmless man, and it's becoming more embarressing to watch him by the minute, without him showing even the faintest glimps of selfawareness or humility. It's a bit sad to watch him implode into a laughing stock, but it is 100% his own doing.
They've suffered? Wow
It seems narcissism runs through the whole family.
While they suffer when Cristiano doesn't play, everyone else suffer watching him play.
I can't imagine how annoyed Ronaldo would be being described as a "waning icon" in the BBC article.
Should probably stop discussing that case in here lads
I'd really like to see a Paradise Hotel-style documentary about this incident.
This will end well
Be more like The White Lotus with Ronaldo involved.
Had to look it up, looks glorious
