Maybe he'll stop diving now.

Exactly. In this case, he was untouched, tripped himself with his toe in the turf and then begs for a penalty.

Thread reads like satire.

ARREST THIS MAN

"He has so much skill, why does he need to dive?"

 

[Zombie James]

That thread title change.

 

[Trickster]

Bad call by ref. Bad move by Ronaldo. Situation blown way out of proportion

Ronaldo > Messi

 

[kmax]

Hey man, that's attemptet murder. Not cool.

[T-Rex.]

You can understand why Barca fans would be mad when one of their players gets attacked in such a manner tbf

[Messi]

This is turning needlessly hostile. Please keep it on topic of the current incident.

 

[Daedardus]

Just imagine a kid slightly shoving another kid. How will Ronaldo ever sleep again?

You don't touch the ref or complain about getting a card, that's basic sportmanship. Had he actually hurt the ref, he would probably have been banned for a whole season. Like, you get a red card and three matches off if you make a potentially dangerous tackle, but if you actually break someone's leg your season's done for. Punishments are hard so nobody in their mind would dare to try to push the boundaries of what is acceptable.

Irony not hostility, that you needlessly placed upon yourself by claiming in the op and title before the change that Ronaldo attacked the ref.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Never touch the Ref, but if your gonna do it, you have to do more than a gentle caress of the back

Surprised the ref didn't go down like he had been shot, though

Ref wasn't Lebron.

Rivaldo dive against Turkey is still the worst dive I've ever seen nothing can top that

 

[cubicle47b]

I don't even want to see what the ref looks like today after that vicious attack.

 

[Carl2291]

Horrible.

He should learn how to control his temper, just like Messi.

 

[Bauer24]

OP How does it feel watching the end of an era?

Didn't Rakitic do something similar, a horrific attack on the referee a couple weeks ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfpkGkmtIME

Both referee's will need counselling after these appalling aggressive incidents

 

[Oemenia]

Suuuuu!

lmao.

Hey you touched my breasts! Hey you touched my breasts...... n_n

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Here is the true highlight of the weekend, Ramos taking out the rat infested garbage.

Ramos himself is one of the biggest cunts in Spain.

 

[Frustrated_me]

This will never get old, lol, disgrace.

 

[daxter01]

nah this is worse

 

[TheOMan]

I laugh every single time.

 

[darkside31337]

Getting 5 games for a slight push on a Barcelona player seems kind of excessive. Guess you gotta keep the GOAT down however you can though.

Stay on topic guys! Errrrr

[Quonny]

more flop gifs please

 

[Lashley]

Definitely should get punished for the push, HOWEVER the original yellow card for diving was excessive. It wasn't a penalty, but it was hardly a dive either.

 

[Tubie]

It's a miracle the ref is even alive right now.

I wish him a speedy recovery for all the serious injuries he must've sustained in this vile attack by Ronaldo.

 

[Ozorov]

legendary

 

[Just_myles]

Weird. In any sport that I know of, you don't lay hands on the ref.

 

[plagiarize]

That's a great new thread title.

 

[Boss Mog]

The real question though is why are both teams wearing blue? Why wasn't Madrid is their usual white kit?

 

[bonesmccoy]

[Brannon]

Rule #1 in any professional sport

NEVER touch the ref

Rule #2...

Shoryuken!

 

[Kayo Police]

Honestly touching the ref in any sport should lead to an automatic ejection and then lengthy ban.

As a player you have no right to be that close to a ref.

 

[RangerX]

Bit silly from Ronaldo. About all there is to say really.

Well done sir.

I agree in a forms. Ref's must be protected they already take too much abuse.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Jesus.

 

[jett]

Soccer is the anime of the sports world.

They should make a new soccer anime. One of the villains should have the super power of diving without the ref noticing it.
