    Ronaldo would be booed in many a country. I think he deserves it tbh. Ibrahimovich always goes on about being the best at everything but he's just the most sarcastic footballer out there. Ronaldo actually believes everything he says.

    Missed the game as I was playing football myself last night but I can't get people's shock at Ronaldo being booed. He was playing for the opposition and is considered almost a panto villain to most. When he played at United most non-United fans and even a few fans of the team disliked the guy. Why did people expect any other kind of reaction?

    To be honest when you came out and say you are worth more than 80 million, a few boo's are bound to come your way. His freekicks certainly weren't worth much last night. Perhaps the Spanish Ball doesn't have the patented valve he needs :p

    It was set to the theme tune of The Departed and included a few talking head's hyping the game to high heaven.

    Ronaldo also suffered taunts of "who are ya?" when he sent a free-kick wide
    Suffered? Do they think this was malicious chant invented last night to mentally scar Ronaldo?

    He must have been scarred. Apparently he wouldn't swap his jersey with any of the Rovers players. :D

    It was reported in most of the papers.

    Along with the slavish reporting of Pat Flynn's (legal) tackle on Ronaldo. As if Rovers had kicked Madrid around the field all night.

    Jesus, just as well the Newcastle game wasn't on telly, the Joey Barton booing would have given some of you delicate souls heart attacks.

    Maybe rugby's more up your street - they all go quiet for the kicks and you can get a nice cup of tea while gently applauding some guy trying to pull the eye out of his opponent's head.

    Really wasnt the game for flashy boots. If you pull that sort of stuff you damn well better be the best player on the park. Missing good chances and falling over the ball doesnt really cut it.

    He always wears them tbh.

    Benzema probably expressed gratitude for Dessie's assist.

    I wonder if he noticed that Baker was pitching a tent...

    He's gay.
    His boots gave that away long before the kiss.

    Because Benzema promised Baker that if he kissed him and then made sweet love to him, then he'd talk to Pellegrini about getting him into the Real Madrid squad.......... as a cleaner.

    They make more money than the players those cleaners. Gwan the Dessie.

    I'd be more worried about why your handsomely-paid team were matched by a scratch team with only one of those 'cleaners' for nearly three quarters of a game last week and why their innovative pre-season regime involved trips to Copper-Face Jacks.

    Your sojourn in the Championship may be longer than you think. ;)
