    So what? Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world. Not a bad player to try and be as good as.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    This thread seems like it could be stupid because of the substance of the original post but if people want to talk about how they compare as footballers (lol) then maybe it can work.

    so he is going to get as good as him by copying his hairstyle lol
    Bale acting a bit like an 8 year old kid with his copying of Ronaldo imo
    nothing wrong with taking bits off great players like Ronaldo,Messi etc but its more too it than that with Bale
    he is a very good player Bale though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,136 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    Yeah what is he thinking lol, he really should have modelled himself on Stewie Downing...



    Seriously though what's wrong with a player admiring one of the best players in the world? and trying to better themselves by using their techniques (frees, tricks).. Hardly deserves a thread of it's own to mock him

    i just find it strange how Bale copies Ronaldo
    i see alot of the posts saying about why wouldn't he copy Ronaldo a great player etc
    but most of the things i posted are more so his style
    ive seen plenty of ppl mentioning it about Bale & i thinks its a bit sad tbh

    You think its sad he copies his hairstyle. I think its sad that you notice it? Let him style it anyway he wants, take frees anyway he wants, put tape wherever he wants. As long as he produces on the pitch no one should care.

    Tiger Woods keeps trying to copy Jack Nicklaus' habit of winning Majors but he hasn't managed it yet.

    Not to mention he's had the same hairstyle since he was 17, before Ronaldo could have had any influence on it as he was still in Portugal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,375 ✭✭✭Sin City


    So if Aiden McGeady gets the Bale/Ronaldo haircut he will become Bale/Ronaldo?


    Quick someone tell, Trap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Judging from the OP it seems you're obsessed with Gareth Bale

    Nah, this pales compared to his De Gea obsession.

    Who would pull more - Bale, Ronaldo or Bieber?

    These are the questions that need answering!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,068 ✭✭✭Bodhisopha


    It's cringeworthy to be honest, especially the free-kick stance.

    Fantastic player though.

    That's the toughest Snog, Marry, Avoid I've ever come across, is there a way to avoid Bestiality while also not looking gay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Shocking idea for a thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,990 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    A big who cares for those that don't care. Gareth Bale is one of the best footballers on the planet and whatever he does is big news. Personally I think he has to get away from discussing other well known players as it will keep him from being recognised in his own right as one of the elite players on the planet.

    MD1990 obsessed with Bale?

    Follows him on Twitter, knows his hairstyle and who's its modelled on, knows what sort of accessories he wears when he plays football, knows his freekick style and knows how he likes to wear his jersey.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,987 ✭✭✭Kerrigooney


    What an odd thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭Gavlor


    Wait a sec.... Have they ever been seen together?? Spurs had an early kick off yesterday, Madrid had a late kick off.... Coincidence?!

    Gareth bale IS Christiano Ronaldo

    You heard it here first

    i seen it on twitter about Bale copying Ronaldo & agreed with it
    Bale is a great player but needs to be his own man imo

    So, I didn't realize Ronaldo invented the faux-hawk.

    Or the ability to do tricks on the field. :P

    Joking aside, if you want to be the best, you should model yourself on the best. And there's few better role models on the pitch to emulate than Ronaldo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,629 ✭✭✭googled eyes


    I think MD1990s problem is the idea of a famous footballer publicaly trying to copy or emulate another famous footballer.

    I dont like Bale, but if he idolizes Ronaldo, it's nothing to do with us.
    ( me thinks someone may have commented on how like Ronaldo they think he is and Bale just kept going with it :) )

    No contest, Bieber would pull way more blokes than the other two.

  • Registered Users Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Tbh I always thought Bale is a bit of a hipster, which is very cool of course.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker


    Fcukin hell my head hurts. Save it for FB or wherever this shit goes on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,889 ✭✭✭✭klose

    I thought he was a hipster well before you ever thought he was a hipster.

    Well Bale is kinda ugly so it be between Bieber and Ronaldo let's be real.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,721 ✭✭✭Al Capwned


    Seriously, who does really give a toss who Bale does or doesn't model himself on - He's a top footballer, and whatever he's doing obviously works for him.
    Good luck to him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭djPSB


    Who'd win an arm wrestle between Bale and Bieber.
