Nobody has accused Andrew of 'rape'.
What does he have to do with the Portugese footballeer?

Sexual assault is a catch-all term that encompasses rape. But because he paid out before it could go before the court, then the whole unpacking of what 'sexual assault' in the THREE counts against him consisted of was not fully disclosed. You are being disingenuous and you know you are. What is it do with Ronaldo? Because rich men pay off poor women. Who they abuse. And get away with it, because they have lawyers who threaten, bully and coerce. Much like the abusers, it's a fucked up system for sure. But carry on defending the indefensible. I'm sure you will be on the right side of history if you think you can buy women's pain and silence.

I actually didn't think OP was being serious!

Absolutely obnoxious man who really does think he is God's gift to the world. And a rapist with a long standing horrendous attitude towards women.

He used to live near me and drove like an absolute cunt.

Where?

On top of everything else he seems to make every game “me! me! me! Aren’t I wonderful?”

Haters? I’ve never had to pay anyone to stave off a sexual assault case. But yeah we’re all haters…

Very much agree.

Yes it's unusual for women to hate rapists.

Quite! And people who claim to be fans only look at the pitch stuff I guess? So not really fans at all.

Good looking guy in his younger days, but now very odd looking. Too much work done on his face. 41 years old and no lines st all is quite unnatural.

NoisyHiker · Today 02:34

Nah, greasy slimy rapists aren't really my thing. No matter how well they can kick a small ball.

He may have managed to buy his way out of a conviction, but his own words make him a rapist (essentially 'She kept saying no, but she couldn't physically stop me at that point so (shrug)')

Surprised even after you've been told why?

I mean, I didn't know about the rape either, but I hate him now too. Never really liked him anyway.

And his neck is too long.

Yep. You really can't miss it. If he wasn't famous nobody would look twice at him.

Eric Cantona is the only no.7 for me.. if you want effortless goals, pitch presence, and swagger. Not like these modern primped and manicured pretty-boys!

Now, if i could only find a way to go back and stay in the 90s.

No thanks

He’s a smug, arrogant, lollipop-headed rapist with no top lip, who’s now had so many tweakments he looks like a Ken doll. Swoooon.

SereneFinch · Today 07:28

Gary Lineker said on the telly the other day that Ronaldo stopped speaking to him after he was asked who was better, Ronaldo or Messi, and he said Messi.

Me too, I can’t believe lovely Brazilian Ronaldo has disappeared from the radar. Apart from when the dog ate his homework so he didn’t turn up to the World Cup final and let France win 💰
Portuguese Ronaldo is an Oily Prat

That’s a bit harsh - he had a seizure didn’t he? (Brazilian Ronaldo)

Always found it bizarre he had a surrogate carry his eldest child when he was a single 20-something then just gave him to his mother to raise… Why?! He obviously then went on to meet his wife and have more kids, why was he so desperate in his late 20s he paid a surrogate?

I don't think he could debase himself any further after his deliberate handball cost Republic of Ireland a place at the World Cup:

Oh I didn't know about that - why wasn't it dealt with at the time by match officials? To be honest I don't follow the game.

David Beckham’s plastic surgeon is odd. He has the lines to scream 50 odd year old yet his eyes have been done so look all tight and weird.
