Keef Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ronaldo basically started getting a bit huffy when it wasn't going his way. He also got very greedy a couple of times, which led him in to dead ends. Fergie was screaming at him from the touch lines.Good as he is (and he is very good), he doesn't react well when it's not going his way IMO.

Sandperson Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ok, Keef, so what would you do in Fergie's position? Sell him straight away because he didn't pass the ball? I'm not sure what you want me to say. He could react by kicking lumps out of people like Joey Barton or disappearing from the game like Nicolas Anelka. Is it worse that he stuck his lip out a bit and tried to score on his own? I mean, give us break....

matthew123 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 FA Cup Final tomorrow and I'm in two minds as to who I want to win. Hiddink to bow out with a trophy but having Drogba running around on a lap of disgrace like a spoilt brat, or David Moyes reminding the world from an open top bus that even though they can't fill Goodison Park they're actually the 'Peoples club'..I think I'm going to cheer (very quietly) for Chelsea... maybe Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/94/#findComment-206692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Keef, footballers are human like the rest of us, warts and all, and yes Ronaldo can be a tw@t (is that what you wanted to hear?), there are even a few on this thread. I don't expect people to come on here praising Utd, but all we ever seem to get is cheap pops, it's easy to blank the juvenile delinquents amongst us, but I expect better from you.To counter all this negativity, I'd like to say what a model professional Ryan Giggs has been, 11 English league titles, a feat unlikely to be equalled let alone bettered by anyone else, a credit to himself and his club, who took defeat on Wednesday with great dignity, a living legend!..I'm off with my rose tinted spectacles to enjoy the sun :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/94/#findComment-206696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladygooner Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I love the FA Cup Final whoever is playing - lets hope its a great match and a finale to a great season. I will know who I want to win by my emotions whoever scores the first goal - secretly I think I am hoping for an Everton win Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/94/#findComment-206700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandperson Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 got to be Everton for me just because they are the underdogs. Matt, isn't that whole 'people's club' thing just the same as people saying that people from Manchester only support City? It's a way that a less successful club in a city can try and gain some dignity?

matthew123 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 We'll see who the Peoples Club are when we see how many turn up for their open top bus parade around Liverpool on Sunday should they win the FA Cup... because it was between 750,000 and 1 million Reds that greeted Liverpool back from Istanbul.

Atila Reincarnate Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Come on Everton, we can't have the Burberry loving Chavski winning it, it wouldn't be right.

Keef Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Show me where I've had a pop at United (i can promise you that you both, SP especially, have had more pops at other teams than I have about anyone!)? Couldn't agree more about Giggs, and just think Ronaldo would earn a lot more respect if he behaved a bit more like that.Victim complex or what!Aaaanyway, hoping for a good game tomorrow. Not a huge fan of either team, but would be pleased to see either manager walk away with a trophy.
