It’s pandering to an American audience who is used to a countdown timer in their sports, because they are too fucking stupid to add up how much time is left.

Next up, time outs.

And when you get one ref who would add on 2mins for something a different ref would give a minute for.

 

Give it a trial and see how it works.

37 year old man acting like that is quite something. 

 

 We would all do it. :lol: Another incident blown massively out of proportion because it's Ronaldo.

 

You'd think he scissor kicked a fan in the head.

"we would all do it" 

 

I assume you've got a big long list of examples of when it's happened previously then?

How many other PL footballers have smashed someone's phone?

Literally loads off the top of my head aye. :lol: All much worse than this. Cantona as mentioned above, Bellamy, Evra, Diouf, Aguero, Neymar, Dida. That's just off the top of my head, which included kicks, spitting etc. There's likely 100's of examples.

 

Ronaldo slapped someones hand. I'm not saying it's acceptable, it's just been blown out of proportion.

I agree. It's not like he raped some lass, paid her off and made her sign a NDA.

Froggy reckons Cantona slipped on the over watered pitch and that caused slight contact with that palace fan. Never intentional :)

 

:lol: I'm not defending anything. It's just the modern world. You'd think he's went and beat the wee lad to a pulp. Someone has goaded him and stuck a phone in his face and he's slapped it away. 

 

Wee lad will get a new phone and some cash. Ronaldo says sorry. We move on.

I for one has never smashed someone else's phone, so it's not quite true that we all do it. 

Yeah, it's similar to the initial reactions to the Will Smith thing (which quickly swung the other way)- a weird normalisation of violence.

We would, not we all.

 

You also haven't been in the situation where you've had an awful day at work and someone has goaded you and stuck a phone in your face to record your reaction, have you?
