    Ronaldo's 'laser' attack

    FLMAO


    Uefa waits for reports on 'laser'
    Cristiano Ronaldo
    Ronaldo came close to scoring at Lyon with a vicious free-kick
    Uefa is awaiting reports from officials before deciding if whether to take action after Cristiano Ronaldo was targeted by a laser beam on Wednesday.

    The incident in the warm-up before the Champions League tie at Lyon was reported by Manchester United but the winger had no ill effects in the game.

    Uefa now wants to see reports from the referee and its own delegate.

    "We need to have more information about it, then a decision will be taken," a Uefa spokesman told BBC Sport.

    "If it proves to be correct then, in this case, it would be viewed as misbehaviour of the supporters, which would then be investigated.

    "We have a whole range of different disciplinary measures, beginning with a warning, then fines and so on."

    Television pictures suggested Ronaldo was also targeted when running with the ball during the first leg of the last-16 clash at Stade Gerland, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

    United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that the club had informed Uefa of the initial incident.

    "We reported the matter to Uefa before the game," said Ferguson. "We noticed it in the warm-up and Uefa are aware of it."

    Uefa expect to receive the reports from referee Luis Medina Cantalejo and Uefa delegate Jan Damgaard by Saturday and will then decide if they need to investigate further.

    Ronaldo was back in the team after a virus and had a quiet game by his standards, according to the BBC's Conor McNamara.

    "Manchester United complained to Uefa before kick-off and Uefa may now check TV footage for evidence of repeated use of laser pens during the game itself," confirmed McNamara.

    Carlos Tevez's late goal ensured United head to Old Trafford on level terms after Karim Benzema had given the hosts the lead.

    United were stunned after the break when the 20-year-old striker turned on the edge of the area and fired a rasping drive into Edwin van der Sar's left corner for his 24th goal of the season.

    Late in the game, however, Ronaldo had a vicious free-kick tipped over the bar and Tevez struck after Lyon made a hash of the resulting corner.

      I don't think it was meant to 'harm' him.

        terrible incident, but how do you control it? the pnes are very easy to conceal and it would be a logistical nightmare trying to fully search everyone for one.

            Tbh i noticed a laser beam going across his face in the opening minutes of the match and thought something was a bit funny about that(not in a haha way btw).
            It was when he was set clear down the right on the edge of the box but Boumsong came across and blocked his shot and the ball went out for a corner.
            Anyone remember? was in the 3rd minute or something i think.

              These are laser pens, so it's harmless. Not much fuss about it to be honest.

              It's like pointing a bar coding device on someone's face.

                Was it me or did Boumsong play really well last night?

                Didn't even know he played for them.

                  Surely they can blind a person if aimed straight in the eyes?

                      thats what I thought, but guess from the crowd, that would be some distance to cover in order to hit a player in the eye.

                        It is potentially pretty distracting and unfair in terms of the game irrelevant of actual danger. It's one thing to chant etc to intimidate a player another to actually have a genuine direct impact on his ability to concentrate and play.

                          Depends on the laser pen etc.

                          If it was a red one then probably not very effective, but if its a green one they can be dangerous, however some things to factor:

                          IR Filter - if the laser doesn't have an IR filter it can be dangerous.
                          Wavelength - whats the effective wavelength of the laser.


                          all much too technical and pointless for this thread though.

                          as someone said above, I'm supprised he didn't make a dive out of it!

                            Yeah, we'd have to have someone with seriously good aim...

                              Aye, 1mm movement at the lense = a ****load the other end of the pitch.

                              Coupled with the fact you're aiming at an eyeball for maximum effect.
