A little bit of vindication for Ronaldo...

segadreamcast

... I see CHRISTIANO Ronaldo's Suzuki ad was finally restored tonight after the whole 'rape' debacle... Personally I think it's disgusting that this woman was allowed to get away with such false accusations and that, only now, six months later, CHRISTIANO Ronaldo is finally beginning to escape the mess that she created.

What do you all think? Should she have been prosecuted?

Once it's been proved false she should be charged, but really it's up to Ronaldo to press charges I guess, maybe he just wants to get on with the whole thing.
It's becoming a trend sadly, just think about Van Persie during pre-season. Players need to be careful, but these hussies shouldn't get away with it either.

Can we have a rule where If people ar etalking about Cristiano Ronaldo they at least put C.Ronaldo? He is not the real Ronaldo.

Sorry bout the OT post but I thought this thread was about Ronaldo, which is why i opened it.

I think it's just a fact of life really. If you start prosecuting women for false rape allegations then you'll have lobby groups on your back about further discouraging women from reporting sexual assault.

I seen the latest issue of kick (for kids) and theres a pull out of him in it. tosser!;)

Unforunately you just can't do that. Do you think its right that a woman who was raped could be sued because they couldn't prove it was rape.
Also rape law in Ireland and England will absolutely blow your mind, what is required to prove that it was rape is shocking.

Yes same here

As people said, the only way you can prosecute is if they admit they lied, then probably get community service for obstruction of justice. As PHB said already its incredibly hard to prove rape, and theres too many women who wont report as it is, never mind if they could be prosecuted.

well considering he plays for manu(most supported club along with liverpool and celtic in Ireland) it is a force of habit to call him ronaldo by most people as apart form la liga on the old digital "the ronaldo" isnt much in the limelight.

And "the" Ronaldo isnt a footballing god that has trademarked his own name.

A "rule"? whats wrong with calling someone by there second name..tuff **** if you had to open the page!!!

You're right there, although I was under the impression that it was proved that she was lying in this case, rather than it being dropped because she couldn't prove it was rape.

Open a poll, for when a football supporter see's or hear's the player Ronaldo, who do they think of

a) Ronaldo (Real Madrid / Brazil)
b) Christina Ronaldo (ManU / Portugal)

No one's attacking the player, just the usage of some thread titles(which are usually crappy on this forum anyway)

Similar when you see a thead about Keane (Robbie/Roy) or Cole (Joe/Andrew) or Neville (Phil / Gary), you see what I'm getting at?

Anyway, thats all horribly off topic, but you'll find that Ronaldo(the real one) is in fact a footballing God, you'd be hard pushed to call C.Ronaldo that and he can only hope of having a career as good as Ronaldo

A) It's Christiano Ronaldo, not Christina
What has the "real" Ronaldo done in recent seasons that merits him being called a 'football god'?
C) Who is sad enough to complain that they took half a second out of their life to open a thread??

... just giving him a woman's name Agree with the point though, everytime I see "Ronaldo" I think of Ronaldo Luiz N. d. L. not Cristiano Ronaldo.

He has done enough already in his career to be considered a God, and he still an excellent player. He would still make it into every team in Europe.

I have to admit I also thought that this thread was about Ronaldo of Real Madrid.

Sorry for OT but the people who are complaining avout wasting their time opening the thread are wasting a lot more time by posting on it.

In fairness to the woman in question, These thing have to be investigated and we dont know what kind of pressure/money is thrown at these situations to make them go away, if your a 21 yr old footballer whose been heralded as the next big thing since you were 16, been given a huge salry and been put on magazines with your shirt off, maybe youd find it hard to beleive that a woman would say no. especially if you were as arrogant a wan*** as C.Ronaldo is.

Are you implying that you think he raped her?

He implying no-one knows what happened. Unless the girl has come out and admitted she lied no one can come on and call her a "liar" or accuse her of making it up.

Im simply saying that just because the story disappeared, it doesnt prove beyond a doubt that the guy is innocent. When you talk about one of Man Utd s most valuable(in monetary terms anyway) players, theres a lot of powerful people behind the scenes who are there just to make stories like this go away so who knows what happened.

Do you know him personally? Guessing not so best not to reduce yourself to calling other teams players **** because you dont like them.

She went to a newspaper before she went to the police.

Im a man u fan kdjac, so can i now slag off my own players if thats ok with u??

Perhaps wan*** is the wrong word, i could have got my point accross without that tacked onto the end of the sentence. I did nt realise i had to personally know someone to have an opinion on an internet message board, surprised theres so many posts on this site in fact, a lot of people here must know Bill Gates eh?

im assuming from the way C.Ronaldo acts that he is arrogant, thats my opinion maybe hes the most down to earth guy in the world but in my view every action he takes says differently.

Sorry you misunderstood, that was a nicely worded warning as not to engage in abusing players, as stated in the soccer charter which you agreed to before you gained access. Sorry if you misunderstood but dont abuse players in such a fashion or you will be banned.

Fair enough man, slip of the keyboard late last night and it just came out.

The kind of anger i have about ronaldo is the fact i believe him and others like him are responsible for the lack of urgency in uniteds play when that same urgency was one of the many factors that made them great. unfortunately that anger made me break the charter and i apologise for that but not my own personal opinion of the player.
