There's a picture of Casillas dragging Isco over to the fans by the shirt, too. What a plonker. Smacks of him trying to appear like whatever the Madrid version of a "*******" is, despite the fact he had an absolute shocker of a match.

Good for us. Hope they worship Saint Iker and that stops Madrid getting rid.
 
So we are getting Isco and Ronaldo then? Any chance Casillas was telling Varane and Modric how to behave as well?

All hail St Iker, hope Perez gives him a world breaking 5 year contract extention!
 
Just saw his "celebration" for Bale's goal after Bale ended his 700th minute goal drought. He's such a cnut. :lol:
 
Weird stuff going on with Ronaldo at the moment :lol:
 
Can't believe madrid fans are booing him after all he's done, he's not in great form at the moment but the guy has scored more than a goal a game for them since he joined ffs.

I'd still take him back to United.
 
He's either gonna score a hattrick against Barça or start shooting from 50 yards out every time he gets the ball just so he doesn't have to pass to his teammates.

They weren't booing him, a section of them was, even more absurdly, booing Bale... right after he'd scored :lol:

Is that why he celebrated covering his ears? I remember Raul Madrid saying we're overly dramatic, but we don't come close to Real's fans. Bloody hell.

I don't remember ever singling out any one group of supporters and calling them "overly dramatic". If I made a post like that I would have meant both Madrid and Barcelona fans. Both sets of fans are spoilt brats. You say Barcelona fans don't come close but I am not so sure. Its much closer than you think. I remember Cruyff getting a lot of boos at the end of his time as manager, despite the great success he had in previous seasons and it was the same with Rijkaard. They turned on the team last year also and were claiming the team didn't care (I remember one of your own players criticising your supporters, I think it was Alves).There are a lot of other examples too. Perhaps one set of supporters are worse than the other but whoever is worse, it is not by much. Both sets of fans are terribly spoilt and that is very much both sets of fans reputation in Spain (and deservedly so). Neither are seen as better than the other and neither are particularly liked or seen as good support.

We obviously have our fair share of muppets, like every other big team, but the point being that I don't recall our fans booing a player right after he scored a goal for us. Never mind an under performing record transfer who is struggling to find his ground at his second season. It's a completely different level honestly, whether if it's because of his performances or CR or whatever.

Our fans were criticised by Alves for not creating enough noise at the Camp Nou last season, something I agreed with. Though to be fair for them, as spoilt as they are, they gave Atletico and our team a standing ovation after the final Liga deciding game.

But in their eyes they're not only better than us, but better than anyone else in football or any other sport. Supporters and players! Mes que un club, man.

At least we know we're far from perfect.
 
Just send him back to United and stop all the drama. #freeRonaldo
 
Childish by Ronaldo. That was the reason he preferred Ozil and AdM - players who hardly cared about getting goals and was all about assisting him IMO.

Feel a bit bad for Bale but then I remember that he chose to go there and what he earns :lol: he'll live.
 
I wonder if he cracked the shits when he realised the second was attributed to Bale after the deflection.
 
I don't get it. Was he upset Bale scored? I saw a bit of the game and he missed quite a lot of easy chances and was complaining a lot but this is surely just terrible for team spirit . He can be such a petulant child.

No, he was just upset that his scissor kick was cleared off the line by a Levante defender (which after another clearance by another defender fell to Bale to volley in). Think people are overreacting a bit, as he eventually did go over to Bale for a hi-five. The issue is that he has trouble hiding negative reactions on the pitch when he's frustrated (ie. majority of players' overriding emotions would probably have been joy that their team scored, not still publically rueing their own missed chance). Last night you could tell that he was desperate to score and was forcing it too much at times, although he wasn't particularly selfish in his play or anything.

The thing that doesn't escape you when watching Cristiano is that in so much of his reactions on the pitch (be they negative, ie. tantrums, gestures, etc., or positive, ie. goal celebrations) he gives off this impression, rightly or wrongly, that he's all about the invididual and not the team.

I'd agree with that. Another example is the Champions league win over Chelsea. After VDS saved off Anelka, I think everybody ran over to celebrate but Ronaldo was so overwhelmed he was crying by himself for a bit iirc. He just lacks a certain emotional maturity/intelligence when it comes to his on the pitch gestures.

You've got a point and with that behaviour you seriously have to ask if we should take him back
 
He's still the second best footballer on the planet so yeah I'm sure we'd take him back but even when he was with us, I never thought he 'loved' the club the way someone like Becks or Neville does. I think it was his personal relationship with Fergie that really made him feel connected.
 
He's a bit of a twat really. It benefits the team at times he is selfish because he is that good but when a player scores who is low on confidence the least you can do is congratulate them. Ronaldo is just in it for himself really, I cringe at the love in that happens with him all the time, especially when he uses United's name to get himself a pay rise every couple of years and people lap it up.

Yeah but he was always like that iirc. It's gotten progressively worse during his battle with Messi etc, but even at United, the entire team was built around him - especially Rooney who was shifted all over the place.

I have no problem with that because he was/is that good but that sort of display of petulance in public is not really condusive to team spirit.

That being said, he's never been one to hide his emotions - & at the moment he's in a bit of disarray. The only reason I wouldnt take him back is price/age IMO. Ability wuse it's a no brainer.

do you blame him playing for real? They are the ultimate individualistic team where they treat players like disposable objects and his own fans boo him regularly even though he's the best player in the world... Meanwhile there's a team in Manchester who still sing his name... I dont think he enjoys playing for Real anymore and I'd say that if we had champions league football, he'd have had a long hard think about coming home after winning the CL.
 
I think he responds to the pressure of Messi v Ronaldo ultimately but game to game he doesn't actively handle it too well.

When you are that close to breaking all time scoring records and another player in the same league and generation is, that will be hard to handle.
 
I start to dislike him more and more. His antics and ego really got tiresome and I'm not sure I want that at United. He's a gone for too long and became really annoying
