Cristiano Ronaldo (140 Viewers)

[Seven]

My feelings thinks that 3 days are harsh, but this is not about my feelings nor anyone else's.

The following is not directed at you: but it's clear that people are judging this situation thru their apparatus of feelings (*cough* Buffon *cough*). IF Ronaldo did pull the hair, it's a clear red, even if it's a vague/pitiful pull.

I can't tell - personally - if Ronaldo does more than "mark/indicate" a pull. But that a linesman 20-30 meters away sees it as a pull in real tiem is no robbery nor conspiracy as soem retards here have indicated.

Tribalism makes people so incredibly stupid.

Conspiracies in football, and in general, are few and far between. I also believe that UEFA, when it comes to appointing referees, is probably one of the better organizations. Don't get me wrong, I fully expect UEFA to be full of thieves, but they have long realised that making their product more appealing earns them more money and I think they've fairly consistently tried to raise the bar for CL refs. Although it must be said Brych has really not been up to standards for a while now.

As for Ronaldo's red card... The linesman has to decide in a split second. The ball is elsewhere and Ronaldo only touches the guy for a few fractions of a second. Really hard to see. The images don't make it any more obvious. To me it looks like Ronaldo wants to pull the guy's hair, but reconsiders at the final second and only grazes his head. Doubt should be in favour of Ronaldo here, so I think he shouldn't be punished at all. I expect him to get a three game ban though, if the linesman still claims he could clearly see the hair being pulled.

Still is ridiculous, what he done only configures an yellow for provocation never a direct red or match bans. Feels like there is some hand behind this.

Welcome to Champions League matches with Juventus. You'll find some striking differences when compared to the Madrid matches, I'm sure.

If UEFA give him more than a 1 game ban they'll shoot themselves in the foot. That would basically underline the need for VAR even more. It'll be a PR disaster for them.

They're an irrational association regardless but I don't think even they will be that stupid. Even though rules and regulations have to be followed, I strongly believe common sense will succeed.

"There are two historic cases which offer Juventus hope for the ban being overturned, both involving Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Whilst playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Ibrahimovic was sent off against Valencia, in 2013, and Chelsea, in 2015. "

If he is suspended against Young Boys then fine, we don't need him. Even Pogba FC beat the Young Boys.

He will be really mad bc this is a 2-3 goal game for him especially knowing he losyt the first game bc of this crap. Hopefully hes back for at least ManU

You sound like a Madrid fan now tbh.

No. Lapa. You are projecting your tribalism.

You disagree with my post, but since you are only capable of assessing the situation thru your tribalism-glasses, you expect other people to be limited in the same way; this makes you come to the conclusion that I - since we disagree - must belong to a different tribe, hence your Madrid statement, but all in all it's simply because you are not very intelligent and therefore not capable of entertaining different views on a matter.

I think Ronaldo should be given soem leeway for retracting his hand so quickly. He chose to not follow thru his original intent, that should earn him only a 1 day ban.

If he gets 3 days, then what should a violent pull cost? 5, 6, 7?

We'll see. I think he'll get two, they don't like admitting they were wrong.

Nah i don't think so,everyone saying was not a red. They will go easy.

But this is a slippery slope, because in this case it was deemed by the ref to be violent conduct. A one game ban does not seem appropriate for that. I expect them to have a standard three game ban for violent conduct without the intent of physical harm.

I think it was misjudged from the get go and Ronaldo did get very angry, but managed to compose himself (albeit at the very last second). A booking would have sufficed. But the issue will be that the images we have don't really clear things up all that much either and the linesman was right there. If he confirms his story I think it will be a three game ban.

@pavluska why you so sensitive?

Sorry, figured anyone who thought that was or might have been a red deserves an automatic -rep.

Just look at this thread. Man I knew English fans were deluded and bitter, but not to this extent. They're still crying he got Rooney sent off in 2006. Clowns, the lot of them.

 

[Al Birdie]

I know a lot of people dont really like Ronaldo (myself included), but bs about the "hair pulling" must stop...The dude dived into his own box, Ronaldo brushed his hair like a childs' and probably suggested to cut out his crap. Like our defenders like to do, for the divers who are looking for the easy penalty. How many times you saw Chielo or Barza screaming over a "dead body", waving hands and telling that piece of shit to stand the fuck up? Thats essentially what Ronaldo did. But he had the audacity to touch the guy. So he doubled down on his bs and started his Neymar dance. This whats supposed to be looked into for unsportsmanlike conduct

 

[sallyinzaghi]

1 game is fine, but not 3. 3 will be a joke, Even 2 is harsh. What violent conduct, Ronaldo put on the brakes and decided not to rip his head off. You can't punish someone for the intent that was not followed through vs actual doing it.

Shiet, that'll be 2 games of lots of goals for him though. He could've easily scored a shitload against Valencia and (presumably) Young Boys. Poor guy.

All could've been resolved with VAR!
