MANYOO FEAR RONALDO EXIT OVER REFS - REPORT
Posted 24/03/09 07:42EmailPrintSave
Manchester United reportedly fear that Cristiano Ronaldo could quit English football because of the perceived 'unfair treatment' he receives from Premier League referees.
According to the Daily Mail, 'what Sir Alex Ferguson describes as a lack of protection for his player is becoming a major concern for the English and European champions'.
'Now there is a real worry that the opportunity to make a summer move to Real Madrid in Spain, where referees are less tolerant of challenges, is becoming a more attractive proposition to the FIFA World Player of the Year.'
For the umpteenth time this year, Ronaldo clashed with a referee at the weekend during United's 2-0 defeat at Fulham. That match saw two United players, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes dismissed by Phil Dowd, and last night Paddy Crerand, the chief pundit on United's in-house television station MUTV, branded the league's whistle-blowers as the "worst referees God ever created".
"The Scholes sending- off decision, you couldn't argue with that. But the Rooney dismissal was a farce. United are losing, he wants to get on with the game, he picks the ball up and hurls it about 40 yards straight to team-mate Jonny Evans," the Mail reports him saying on the station. "I know the referee's in that vicinity but it landed straight at Evans's feet. And the referee sent him off.
"I think referees want to do something to be noticed and get their photo in the papers. The sending-off of Rooney got him noticed. They talk about respect in the game but referees have got to earn it."
"We have a situation in England at the moment where we have the worst referees God ever created."
Its started, the Mancs have started the spin on the ladyboy to leave in the summer.

He throws little hissy fits and cries to the heavens after rolling around for a while. Just off the top of my head wasn't there one recently where he rolled around like a complete cunt when Steven Taylor gave him a slap or something?
