Just when I thought I couldn't dislike Cristiano Ronaldo any more.......
20 Nov 2025 08:20:01
Just shows how desperate he is to play in the World Cup. I agree though.
20 Nov 2025 08:21:45
What now?
20 Nov 2025 08:32:42
He visited the president. he's done nothing wrong.
{Ed078's Note - he greased the passage of the man who ordered the murder and dismemberment of a Saudi/US journalist. He played, and made his name, at a club rooted in the working class environs of NE England. I wonder how many Mancunians would support his sucking up to the Donald and a murderous regime?
20 Nov 2025 09:54:28
Well said Ed. 78.
Should be an interesting summer if the US is allowed to keep hosting the games.
20 Nov 2025 14:16:57
Sportswashing at its finest.
20 Nov 2025 14:32:38
The 'best' part is why he's there on a Saudi Diplomatic Visa and not a regular visitor's one.
Nothing to do with expediency or anything like that.
20 Nov 2025 20:16:31
North West England.
He’d have a different experience in the North East ?.
20 Nov 2025 10:12:23
Ed78? really? Does Cristiano Ronaldo know who The Dumpstire is and all the vile, despicable things/ people ha has/ is involved with/ in? Trust me, sucking up to that geezer has been the beginning of the end of many a people who did the same thing.
I mean, there's a reason when victorious sports teams in the U. S go to the WH for their traditional visits, many of the players don't go cos they don't want to be anywhere near this piece of work.
20 Nov 2025 14:55:32
Wise up Ed78!
Go and fix yer fanny pad.
Ya clown.
{Ed078's Note - you probably didn't expect me to post this. But I think it's important to highlight not only ignorance, but sexism too.
20 Nov 2025 20:53:26
Well done for posting the trolls nonsense Ed. Big Doc? Little Brain.
20 Nov 2025 21:13:00
BigDoc, you may want to learn how to spell before throwing insults at people. Who's the clown?
{Ed078's Note - let this be end now and give BigDoc the benefit of the doubt, may have just been tongue in cheek.
20 Nov 2025 21:44:05
Trump is literally the most vile cretin in the history of America and I'm embarrassed that he's our president. Hosting the Saudi Prince and giving him a pass on the murder of a journalist and praising human rights is just unbelievable.
I am disappointed that Ronaldo took any part in that crap. And many of us, despite allegiances to our sports teams, absolutely love when the team and or players refuses to go to the White House.
20 Nov 2025 21:45:09
Are we speaking about the same Donald who
Has made it possible for a load of isreals and Palestinians to go home to there family's and and stopped a war when no one else did? Credit where Credit is due. if Mandela (an actaual terrorist) had of done this every one would be up on he's nuts!
{Ed078's Note - sorry folks, this should really be on a politics page. Not sure there are many homes left for the Palestinians to go to. The same deal was on the table negotiated through Biden (he didn't push hard enough), it didn't suit Trump to approve it earlier. What makes you think the conflict has stopped?
And then you bring up Mandela, geez.
20 Nov 2025 22:35:23
Is this the same Donald who was convicted on a rape charge? Politics aside, that alone should be a reason for celebrities like Ronaldo to avoid associating with him.
21 Nov 2025 03:46:20
The ignorance spouted in this thread is astounding.
21 Nov 2025 04:34:05
Ronaldo had a rape charge too in 2009, just saying.
21 Nov 2025 04:44:49
I couldn't give a monkeys if you posted it or not. This used to be a Liverpool football club discussion site!? I can get the BS from numerous other places online. Don't need it here. Give that crap a rest!
21 Nov 2025 04:46:25
Dracred, can you be more specific? Who's ignorance?
21 Nov 2025 04:48:53
BigDoc, the benefit of the doubt was misplaced then. Weird, you say give it a rest, but actively participated in the discussion.....
21 Nov 2025 06:50:59
Burkeyboy, I was referring to mainly Bigdoc and Rsanchez69.
21 Nov 2025 07:03:54
Ta Dracred.
21 Nov 2025 07:37:19
To be fair Trump was stopping another 9 wars before he got to Palestine ?.
21 Nov 2025 09:13:40
. don't belive everything u hear and see from msm and the propergander bs! Too many on here won't pick up the sun news paper but happy to watch bbc panorama. laughable!
21 Nov 2025 09:55:10
Just for clarity is 'propergander' some kind of goose authentication service?
21 Nov 2025 10:12:54
And the same people who complain about msm and "propergander bs" will take at face value whatever nonsense is posted in their social media echo chamber whilst proclaiming themselves a free thinker.
21 Nov 2025 10:34:11
100% Something Red, everybody knows the most credible source of information is any rando that you've never heard of showing up on your algorithm claiming to have the inside scoop on the truth that 'they' don't want you to know.
21 Nov 2025 10:37:44
On the subject of Ronaldo, I read something a few years back reported by somebody who worked in a hospital who witnessed Ronaldo visiting a children’s oncology ward on numerous occasions to read to the children, on his own time without patient or publicity.
On a different note I think it’s funny that someone should think Trump should be discussed on a political forum. If he ever had the intelligence or wit to figure out that it is the role of the President that carries respect rather than the individual that holds the office then he might be worth discussing. He’s just a delusional narcissist who is steadily chipping away at undermining the authority of the role.
21 Nov 2025 10:41:14
Isn’t ‘propergander’ the same as having a ‘really good look’ at something?
21 Nov 2025 10:55:01
Says everything some people on here would rather take the p out of someone who may have a learing difficulty (dixlexia) than have debate. But then not really as we've seen what the lefties do do people who want to debate something that doest suit there narrative.
21 Nov 2025 10:57:49
WDW, people at either Leeds or QPR said that Diouf's hand would apparently be one of the first to go up if they needed players to visit sick kids or do stuff for charity.
Footballers are a peculiar bunch.
21 Nov 2025 12:23:21
Rsanchez, happy to debate any topic you want. And, if we disagree, what do you expect I'll do to you?
If i was the current US administration, I'd simply cancel your visa, bock you at the border, or send you to a foreign prison. But I'm not, so I won't.
21 Nov 2025 12:25:52
WDW, I think the word you are looking for is Malignant Narcissist. That is the worst type, per the experts.
21 Nov 2025 12:30:24
It’s not taking the P out of anybody. It’s a banter page where, every now and then, people have a crack at humour.
You obviously have your opinions but, as has been said, there will be occasions when people have different opinions on the same topic. Freedom of speech applies to everybody, not just to those that you or I might agree with.
