OK..its official...you cant differentiate between a dive and a foul...ask a pool fan who saw and the match and he will tell whether he dived or not...

thevyzz

yeah. like mancers got so used to ronaldo, that they think that it's a foul everytime.

LAMPARD

Dude,tell me one instance when he dived...there were clear fouls on him...hate such crap opinions of people who cant tolerate seeing ManUtd winning the CL..

thevyzz

Saw him dive twice against Marquez, once against Toure . Dont have a video now. Will post when I get some. And look what happened, the ref denied him a penalty when there actually was one involving Toure ( wolf-boy story).

Simply because there is contact doesn't mean that you should go down. See Walcott for example or even Etoo yesterday when Evra nearly bundled him, he stayed on his feet eventhough there was no advantage.

Ronaldo and Iniesta went down like sticks yesterday. Seems like they have a habit of doing this in the SF of UCL.

LAMPARD

Do you know how much impact a tackle has???It depends..if the tackle is too harsh,obviously,the player will fall...this was the case with Ronaldo...also,he was running with great speed...Eto'o wasnt tackled too hard...he also wasnt running in very hard...all you guyz can ever think of is Ronaldo diving...he played brilliant yesterday...trademark tricks and flicks...only thing was that our passing was not so good...

thevyzz

for your eyes only

update: for optimistic mancers' eyes only

if u seriously believe that he played well yesterday. u need to get checked. if i give 10/10 for messi, i'd give him only 6/10 ( actually 7, but -1 for the pen and diving).

Marquez rarely laid a strong tackle on ronaldo, he just wanted to dive. And please watch the replay, Etoo was hacked and had he fell, he'd have got a fk.

LAMPARD

Yeah,yeah...who the hell cares about ur crap opinion..

thevyzz

You certainly do :)

And if you say that's crap, then all news sites/ experts/ commentators are crap as well.

Here's what the Guardian and other news site have got to say

goal.com was a bit harsh on ronaldo. but you gotta agree with the guardian and the times.

SINCE RONALDO WAS fouled for the first time

i cud see this coming

come on @thevyzz

i think u mean.....no one tackles harsh on ronaldo....he everytime dives

forget it dude

there were 2 clear cut penalties......but ref dint gave it (wondering y)

fine....refree is human.....but u r saying ronnie dived......u must be watching some other match mate....

saw the post match reviews????? (or slept.....thinking y arsenal cant do anything dis season)

they were saying this too.....clear penalties.....

anyways @ lampard....

dude be quiet let ronnie haters speak (As they always do)

ronaldo will show them @ OT wat he is

and yaa sorry to hear lampard's mother passed away

RIP

thevyzz

the first pen was a no-brainer and i never argued with the second pen which was disallowed due to a foul by toure ( you are talkin about a new third one- where did they make that up). but ronaldo was an inverted cone yesterday on many other occasions.

btw, if ronaldo fails at OT, then there might be some obstuctions for him in the player of the year awards.

anylysis by RTE. Those who are addicted to sky who treat Ronaldo as god when he dives and praise him for winning fks, see this for a different viewpoint.

thevyzz

here's an example of a dive 29sec into the game

When you come at such a pace and you have to jump over a tackle,you are bound to have a fall...his legs move a 100 times faster than urs...so,its obvious that he's going to have a fall....why do you think the Barca players didnt appeal after that incident...coz they know the reason for his fall and that it is not a dive...

about YOUR ladies winning the title..

looks like arsene is doing a good job wih the ladies...must have trained them from preschool...
