Ronny Gives Boo Boys More Fodder

pray1.jpg It’s unlikely Cristiano Ronaldo actually prays for an end to the constant booing he attracts once he steps on a football pitch, but if he does, they’re going unanswered. Mind you – he’s hardly doing a stellar job himself, of quieting his critics.

Ok, I’m obviously biased – but the penalty decision didn’t come across as that blatant a dive (did it?). It looked like he clearly stumbled to me. The other one was perhaps a little less clear cut – but hardly the worst thing I’ve ever seen during a game. But the Boro fans and players weren’t best pleased, and the inane booing will continue unabated.

Regardless – Ronny’s “performance” certainly helped United bag all three points, with a decent showing and excellent result at The Riverside. Job well done – now we have a six point cushion at the Premiership summit. There’s a long way to go, but point collection away from home (only two dropped so far), will certainly benefit come May.

    Looks like a clear dive to me, but that is part of the sport. Ronaldo has been excellent this season and has shown his maturity by playing through the boos. I think he deserves a bit of a break from the criticism.
