@DjMaRiiO It’s probably a yellow, but I’ve seen reds given just as often. An orange card challenge. It doesn’t seem fair that, had the roles been reversed, it would have been a red.

@BenDesigned “Ronaldo fan”

“So what? I’d say the same if it was against my team” 👀🤣

@callmeoscar_1 Should he not have gotten at least a yellow?

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball You’re lying though, so it’s all good. We can leave it there.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball So condescending. No need. Off you go.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@November_1FCB @BBCMOTD That can only be said in retrospect.

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball Look you’re bias, I get that. I am too. I want to watch the best players… but that’s not an accidental touch on the Achilles from a natural running motion. That’s an orange card at least. The handball, yellow card. Can you point to a time he was sent off & shouldn’t have been?

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball These two favourable decisions were also in his last four World Cup matches.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@WestHamViews_ Tbf, if you force him to stay when he has PSG, Real Madrid, & Manchester United, all willing to bid above £60m… I think it will get ugly. If he already played for 1 of those clubs he’d be at the World Cup right now, & instead of the Champions League it’ll be The Championship.

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball They seem to make a lot of mistakes around Messi. He’s revered. Sponsors and crowds would be outraged, some have spent thousands to be there and watch him. So he simply gets away with it. I’m a fan too, but I don’t like that an underdog would be penalised with the roles reversed.

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball I think if he’d actually gotten a yellow there would be much less conversation about this. Some players get a yellow for this others get a red. Messi just doesn’t.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@dainconficio @Rory_Talks_Ball That’s a very high Achilles.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@TalkSoccer @MartienBall It should have been a red card. Bad officiating in other games doesn’t excuse this, & that he has gotten away with plenty through his career. Probably the best ever, but because of that he can get away with challenges like this, and even blatant handballs. Sponsors decide.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@MartienBall Why does this keep happening? He must be really clumsy, it’s the only explanation.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@Altgthr We did both at our best.
Cantona - bought
Giggs - made
Rooney - bought
Ronaldo - made
Ferdinand - bought
Vidic - made

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@FPLfrasier No. Hasn’t been consistently world class since he played for Barcelona. Can turn it on for a few games, but you can’t be the best without proving it consistently at the highest level. Might be the best ever, but a hat trick for the favourites against a Championship team isn’t it.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@R_o_M I struggle to be mad at any player (except Sancho) earning big wages at United while the Glazers are still here.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@Bee_mufc I think it’s because we’re actually signing him for £25m, and Fernandes for £60m… but if everyone agrees a fee of “£35m for Fernandes and £50m for Summerville” then West Ham save on the sell on fee for Fernandes.

[Cle Etc. @Cle_Etc]

@WestHam_Central If West Ham are smart they’ll sell Fernandes for £5m… in a double or triple deal. Then they avoid the sell-on issue.
