thing is when he scores his expectation is his team mates are delighted for him.

This is exactly why I never want him back here. What a twat.
Dont want a diving selfish twat over here, sorry.
Anyone else see that Paul Pogba criticised Ronaldo today for that incident? Hardly something he would do if was Real bound this summer as some people think.
No he's not. Narcissists are a different beast. He's just selfish and egotistical.
The problem is he isn't masking his frustration like most goalscorer do. Goalscorers are incredibly selfish at the core. You will only hear it from retired players but the fact of the matter is that a lot of them can be happy with their team losing as long as they score. Especially when there's nothing to compete for.
That kind of reaction is rare and OTT. Even for Ronaldo. Not running towards someone who's scored to celebrate is normal. Don't know why people make a huge deal out of that. People are different and express their joy/anger/whatever differently.
Still haven't heard anything but effuse praise from his former teammates about him as a person.
Ronaldo should personally hire anyone who defends him over this and get them on his PR team, it's these sorts of blinded nutters who are as dedicated to him as he is.
As a player as much as I love him he does have a massive chip on his shoulder with regards to Messi and that leads to some selfish actions and leads bad body language.
He is a man driven by a desire to be the best and it sometimes gets ugly.
He is a good guy but an arrogant player.

To be fair I have noticed them wanting to celebrate less with him in the games I have watched but not sure if that is me just assuming it. Either way it is toxic for a dressing room.
this type of behaviour seems to occur everytime he fails to score,it's perfectly normal to get pissed off as an attacker when you haven't scored and your teammates are scoring, I've seen the likes of Rooney,Messi,Drogba,Ibrahimovic etc do the exact same thing,Ronaldo's frustration is a problem because he does it in almost every single game ( I've seen him get pissed off for scoring only once even), would never happen under Fergie and I guess when you're arguably the best player on the planet you can get away with it, it is still a sad thing to see as a fan though - but I reckon Madrid fans don't mind.
He might very well be a nice person off the pitch, he seems like a cnut on the pitch though.
From this angle you can see him smiling, I would think he was just angry with himself not Arbeloa.
It is a pertinent point. You get all these saddos that seem to get morally outraged about his celebrations because it is 'not in the team ethos' etc etc blah blah.
So where are all those teammates of his that dislike him because of this? Are they not supposed to be the poor victims of these terrible terrible celebratory crimes?
I doubt his team mates will speak out against the teams star player, because they have some sense of team unity, you know, unlike Ronaldo.
People are poking fun at it, rightfully so. I think the only saddos are the fanclub that make desperate excuses as to why it's okay to walk off in a huff when your team have just scored.
He has plenty of ex teammates. Even Keane loves him FFS! He says in autobiography that he is very likable on a personal level and that he knew he would always get 100% from him on the pitch. That is what footballers care about, not the little dramas that you like to imagine.
TBF at United, he wasn't this bad until 08/09.
All great athletes are selfish and always want the ball (relatively speaking). Ronnie is no different.
Most athletes don't get pissed off when their team does well.
Who cares ? As long as the team do in fact do well. I prefer viciously competitive players who always want the ball, especially if they're as good as Ronaldo is.
Well looking at Real Madrid's current success, I'd say otherwise
That's up to you. Majority would agree it's the behaviour of a selfish prick.
If he always wants the ball why does he not get as many touches as a lot of other top players? He couldn't care less about being on the ball, he just wants the final touch.
It would obviously have its limits, but when you're dealing with one of the greatest footballers ever, then I could care less what he does as long as he produces on the field, and Ronaldo clearly has - year after year.
If you guys are happy with him fecking up chances in the pursuit of personal glory then there's really no issue. Roy Keane's a tosser, so i'm not surprised he gets on with him.
Regardless of what any of his team mates say of the pitch it must create a bit of an icy cold atmosphere, and I'm pretty sure he's a big part of the reason Gareth Bale has no confidence whatsoever now too.

The Higuain thing was stupid but the Arbeloa thing is nonsense. He did absolutely nothing wrong ffs.
Nani also fecked up a Ronaldo goal against Spain, so it works both ways.
I think everybody here is talking about the attitude, not how good Ronaldo is on the pitch. You can't possibly say that that attitude is normal, or okay.
Yes many players want the ball, want to score, some will even rather go alone on a one-on-one rather than pass for an easy goal, but when their team score anyway very few if any will be angry because their teammates scored a goal instead of them, and he has done that multiple times with different players, and even showed his emotions publicly. There is no way that's acceptable from any player.
Now that i would disagree with. I should've prefaced my earlier comment about wanting the ball. Pouting when a teammate scores is obviously idiotic, but he's good enough to have a few vices.
He's such a narcissistic cnut. Look how unhappy he is.
Yeah that looks like a genuine smile

mate, thanks for the effort, but even the madridistas think he was mad at arbeloa for scoring the goal
even Arbeloa had to say "it didnt bother me Ronaldos gesture, i understand his ambition for scoring goals"

That shows the real reaction, but nice of t'internet to cut it to seem that he is furious.
Wow people love to overreact with Ronaldo. I'm sure Arbeloa will be ok Those two gifs show ronaldo congratulating him and then walking away being annoyed that he didn't manage to get another goal...hardly a big deal? I find it impressive how he craves goals like crack and I wouldn't mind have more players with such a perfectionist attitude playing for United

good, lets take a look at this video,
see how he is smiling too? then he must be delighted with the fans whistling at him

I am not sure how that helps Ronaldo, whoever watched him knows that's his usual sarcastic smile he always does when things aren't going his way. Just compare it with any situation when he misses the good chance or doesn't get decision in his favour from the ref.
I also don't get why people keep defending him over this when it's happened already few times this season, it's nothing new really.
This. Every time he does something that remotely looks like it's "not on", this thread gets swarmed by the steroid midget fans.
He's a bit of a big baby sometimes, I'll give you that, but judging by the comments in here you'd think he committed some kind of genocide.
Pair that with over the top body language analysis and video analysis from different angles and it becomes even more amusing
