Got my popcorn ready. Let the meltdown get in full flow. As soon as I read the news, I rushed to this thread.

You must be very proud of your hero.
If they'd punished Diego Costa (for example) from video evidence he'd never have played two weeks running. It's not that unusual to see the disciplinary panel stick with the ref's report, just like in England.
The thing that intrigues me is that if Ronaldo had been given a 3 match ban (it always looked like either 2 or 3 games) he would have been suspended on his birthday for the third time since he arrived at Madrid. Something in that air at this time of year perhaps.
The Madrid press, predictably enough, say he's depressed about breaking up with his girlfriend and easy to wind up. The Barca press say the knee treatment he had done at Christmas didn't work because he played again too soon.

Yeah, that's true about Diego Costa. I did learn last season that they treat incidents that way - either because I didn't pay enough attention before or because Diego Costa did something stupid so often! It's not something I agree with though. You sure it's like that in England? I thought that if something wasn't mentioned in a referee's report then the FA were more likely to take action...
But anyway, I don't think Simeone will complain about it. You'd expect someone like Simeone to constantly be pressuring for decisions but he's good for refusing to talk about things like this in public.
2 game ban to make it in time for the Madrid derby. What a shocker.
He got a 2 match ban for a punch? Haven't seen this incident.
Meltdown??
Two games (which is basically a game per punch and he got the kick for free) is too little imo, but it was predictable. What do you think?
Bebe's comments on him:
“I know Cristiano from our time at Manchester United. He is a good friend and good person.
“He is the best ever and what happened could have happened to anyone at such a tense moment in the game.”
He should get the memo that Ronaldo left a year before he came to United. Probably confused him with someone else?
It doesn't read exactly like that in the original Spanish version. Also doubt Bebe speaks Spanish, so it's in itself most likely a translation of him speaking Portuguese.
It could be interpreted as such, but it may also be that he means his own stay at United allowed him to get to know Ronaldo. Perhaps Ronaldo visited, or perhaps that common stage of their careers prompted conversations between both at the NT or in private. A more literal translation could be "I know Ronaldo from [my?] stage at United". Doesn't necessarily mean they played together, but rather that him being a United player allowed him to know and befriend Ronaldo.
Most probably whoever translated it thought they played together and hence interpreted it like that.

Such an outrageous decision yet not a shock at all. I've always wondered what it'd be like to support the establishment club. Must be good.
He probably thinks Ronaldo did nothing wrong and that he should be rewarded for kicking that player. That's how we roll in Ronaldo's world. People who think Ronaldo should be fined for punching players are those who are wrong.

3 games was right. The way big clubs get preferential treatment, it is hardly surprising it got reduced.
I am more amused about people like Amar though whose obsessive posts about Ronaldo and those who like Ronaldo makes hilarious reading. Watch him twist his knickers further now.

But you do support Barcelona?
2 games is low, but i rather watch him play than not
He probably got a discount because his left hook landed so crisp.
Anyway, fuel for the haters.

My post isn't about Ronaldo, it's about Real Madrid.
Totti is a super bloke
To you €1B, or maybe £300M, Mendez spouting off again:

Wait, Mendes is Valdes' agent as well??
Mendes and Cristiano are a match made in heaven, bellends.
He's just turned thirty! F*cking hell, that makes me feel old.
happy birthday cristiano...30...wow...

Indeed, seems like yesterday I saw the spotty lad make his debut for us. Rewinded and watched those 30 minutes over and over back then
He's 30?!
fecking hell where has the time gone?

30, wow. Seems like only a few years ago he was the scrawny teen showing a bit of promise.
Anyone some nice quotes in honour of his birthday

What they can do in that other thread of the one we don't talk about we can do better, am I right guys?
He's back today!
I certainly won't be laughing when he turns around and scores a hat-trick in his next game, he is Ronaldo after all
cnuts
If he wasn't a big name and a big brand, he'd got 0 mins television time today as well. Completely nullified.
I like @SirAF , as much as he likes Ronaldo he isn't your typical arrogant cafe's Ronaldo fan who hates everyone who says something against Ronaldo. The man just likes Ronaldo, little bit too much, but he is nice.
maybe he is shit now
Still most wanted Real Madrid player on the Caf.
Reminds me of that NIN album, the Downward something?
