Title: Ronaldo Headbutt
Post by: Esso #13 on Thursday, August 16, 2007, 15:55:47
Anyone got a view on this?
I thought it was a bit harsh to be honest...thought Hughes was being a bit of a cunt...

What goes around, comes around. In my view. About time that cheating buggar got what he deserves.  He's always getting other booked.

Good shout. He does well not to react every time some big fucker kicks lumps out of him, but might make him learn  :)  as it did Beckham. ish.

If anyone tries to defends there's plenty of moments where he's conned the ref in the past - plus regardless to how much the Pompey player milked it - he did try and headbutt him and I don't understand why players keep doing it!

He deserved to be sent off, regardless of whether it was or wasn't a headbut, merely because he was stupid enough to attempt it 2 yards from Steve Bennett in his direct line of view!

you dont get a a extra game ban just because your a role model fatters.. if anything the way he handles himself usually should go in his favour

Doesnt matter if he made contact or not. Rules state that you get sent off for "headbutting or a ttempting to head butt a player"


Actually it doesnt have the head bit in there, but I dont want everyone giggling like school kids.

It wasnt a headbutt he was arguing with matey and it was face to face shouting.It wasnt even a headbutt attempt.

perhaps only a yellow, but it was definitely an aggressive motion of the head towards the other bloke - if you're sticking to the letter of the law thats a red card. bit harsh but hard to have sympathy for ronaldo.

Did the Pompey player get up and wink at one of his players after the incident?

A premiership player feigns an injury, how unusual............

Was it not the same ref that had sent him off previously as well?  Can't remember what season and who against mind.

I was stood four rows from the front in the united end, and at the time it looked like he nutted him. On reflection, I'm not sure - but the intention was there and when you do it right in front of the ref, what do you expect to happen? stupid boy.
