DJ_NUFC Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Bloody hell, and to think at one point he was getting games for the national team and was rated as a good player in Spain. Happens in football. Still hard to believe the falls from grace some of the other top players have seen. Rivaldo voted the world's best player at 27/28 years old, then within two to three seasons hes washed up and on the verge of signing for Spurs on a freebie. Get the fack out! Rivaldo is class, been class all his life, best player after Zidane and Ronaldo that i've ever seen play live. He was immense for Olympiakos and AEK. Signed for an Uzbek team a few days ago. That's Uzbekistan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Uzbekistan. To be fair Samuel Etoo almost signed for that club because of the money they were offering him. Rivaldo is and has always been class, even during the worse period in his career at Milan he was still doing well whenever he gets a chance, when he moved to Greece he was the best player their by miles, even transformed his form to the Champions League. Very underated player imo, he was the main reason behind Brazil winning in 2002, still bloody class every time i see him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Might be in trouble. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-68091321 The incident has involved several Spanish football executives including Ms Hermoso's former coach, a former marketing manager and the sports director of the men's team. Jorge Vilda, Rubén Rivera and Albert Luque are accused of pressuring Ms Hermoso to say publicly the kiss had been consensual. The judge in Madrid said the trio should also stand trial. Lawyers involved in the proceedings now have 10 days to make a formal trial request before a court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Rubiales is thick as fuck. All he had to say straight off was that he got carried away in the heat of the moment and apologised to the player. Instead he acted the big cunt and now this story has dragged on and gotten out of control. Idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be looking to lock up 4 people for the incident is fucking mental. On my job a few years ago upon entering a commercial premises some elderly lady felt me on my arse, should I seek to get her locked up??? Seek damages and compensation? The guy got sacked, he probably won't get employed again, he's got the reputation of a sex offender, what next? Shall we put him to death? Send his family to prison? He's an idiot, yes, but let's remember this isn't a murder case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 You're also talking a bit like people only go to prison for murder. People can go to prison for not paying fines. The whole thing was completely fucked up and pretty unique. Although the sentence they're looking for is probably unlikely, it's not one of the things I'd file under the world going mad personally.

Generally, murder is the most extreme. Hence the use of it as an example.

BlazeT44 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Worlds gone mad. There's just no middle ground any more. Everything is so polarised. It's like even the concept of middle ground, due diligence and logic are seen as controversial nowadays. Surely the correct punishment for a non-consensual kiss (if proven) should be between no punishment and a 2.5 year prison sentence? At least to me, discussing a 2.5 year prison sentence is as absurd as arguing the case for him getting away with no punishment? What I will say is he handled this poorly, and he's clearly an idiot. Still, if we locked people up for that, there'd be some very full prisons. Edited March 29 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we have to look into historical sex offences like all the people kissing eachother on VE day (clear evidence of women kissing the soldiers) some would argue it was jubilant but then this Spanish gadgie would argue exactly the same. It's absolute bollocks, the lass was seen laughing about the incident on the team bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely bang on! My last post isn't excusing his behaviour - it was appalling. He'd have received a much lighter punishment and this would have gone away if he put it down to being "caught in the moment".
