Pffffffffffffff.

 

All the pundits that are creaming themselves over it have obviously forgotten Barry Horne's screamer against Bolton at the Dell.

 

Or indeed a good selection of Matt's dazzlers.

 

Your not that bloke who emaild SSN are you?

 

They probably havent forgotten it, Ronaldos goal was just in a big match and happened to also be a screamer setting up an all English Champions League semi. That is massive news in terms of English football.

No, wasn't me.

 

But I had to laugh at much further away from the goal Ronaldo seemed to get at each news update; 30 yards, 35 yards then 40....

 

 

I do concur though, it was a fabulous goal but it just reminded me of Barry Horne's bullet which I remember (wrongly) seemed to have been hit from the half way line.

Yes i wonder if you'd say the same if he played for us and scored like that no i thought not..

 

Err... which part of that are you disagreeing with?

 

Are you saying Ronaldo doesn't dive and cheat?

 

P.S. It wasn't as good as Anders goal which knocked the Argies out the World Cup.

You can hardly compare Barry Horne's goal (which the keeper should have saved IMO) to the goal which won a tricky away tie, and set up an all English Champions League Semi Final.

Le Tiss scored some great goals, but Ronaldo, Like him or hate him, has scored important goals and given some fantastic performances at a much higher level.

Although admiring Matt's loyalty, the real shame is he didn't get a chance to shine(as I've no doubt he would have, if managed properly) at the same sort of level.

i was saying the same thing when beckham broke onto the scene,people were falling over themselves to praise his genius but what they forgot to mention was that letiss was doing exactly the same if not better 10 years earlier.......was it anything to do with him playing for a small club like saints?

Barry Horne's goal against Bolton was a good'un, but not as good as the one he scored for Everton in '93(?) last game of the season against Wimbledon. I was at that match and BH's goal was a beauty, Paul Rideout swallowed his tongue just before half time and Everton came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and avoid relegation... that game had it all! :D:smt101

Ronaldo could never score a Le Tissier goal though. Not sure any current players could. The main thing to love about them was the ease and comfort he showed doing it. Looked relaxed, composed and it was all about quality. Yes, top premiership players have quality, Ronaldo and Gerrard have great shots, but they have to put everything into their game, be in peak physical condition and most the time, hit the ball as hard as they can.

 

Just miss the subtlety, flair and ease with which some players used to play the game. The premiership had a few with Ginola, Cantona, Le Tissier and Gascoigne around. Now...no-one. In world football....not many. Messi and Kaka are superfit and work very hard, use great pace etc. It's an attitude thing as well, a flair you can't help but like with many, and Ronaldo doesn't have that. Great player, but not at footballs great time IMO.

 

 

I read all of that without reading who posted it thinking..mm this guy talks some sense and knows his stuff.....

Then i read it was you ;)

If there were no other players on the pitch the keeper would have saved it.

 

Pointless observation, but most likely true...

 

...great strike in an important game from a player who's had an 'average' season performance wise and still scored twenty goals from midfield. how can you not 'hate' (green eyed monster) Ronaldo?! ;-)

Cristiano Ronaldo = Real Madrid player. (already)

 

Don't see why he would, if he does it will ruin him IMO.

 

The league is completely different, the premiership suits him down to a tee, not sure that La Liga is the right kind of game for him.

 

Plus, Man Utd are streets ahead of Real at the moment.

It was alright! I bet if you look at match of the days goal of the month comp from this season you will find at least one as good if not better every month!

 

Was watching SSNs goal of the month last season and it seemed to be a bit of a big four fest. Don't get me wrong, there were some quality goals in there (Machena's (sp?) debut against Villa, Adebayor against Villareal) but one of them was Ronaldo's daisy cutter against Villa. A well placed effort, but not in the same class as JPS free kick at Watford.

I have to say it was the bestest goal that I have ever seen.........................................

 

I preferred Walcott's goal. Really see him becoming an awesome player in the Henry mould in a few years time.

 

Fingers crossed he stays injury free for England as SWP and Lennon aren't a patch on him.
