stevie the diver? ronaldo takes almost as many dives as he scores goals. i can't recall gerrard ever taking a dive since ive followed liverpool, and he may be injured a lot but he is one of the best midfielders in the world if not the best. dont say he does rubbish such as diving, coz i remember ronaldo using his spectacular antics to get his teammate wayne rooney sent off in the euro great sportsmanship there. gerrard is loyal, brave, strong and talented and you cant take that away from him

liverskill look on champions league forum. there are 3 or 4 links for stevie the diver. judge for ureself but even the most loyal loserpool supporters would agree it is pretty bad. ronaldo is a diver but has wiped quite a lot of it out of his game.

well done on him for that, he seems to still have the bad attitude towards team mates and opposition

Welcome to the forum Reddevil32! You will find nearly all of the Loserpool fans have been so chastened over the years by UNITEDS success that it is becoming rather difficult for them to get fired up about anything football related.... ...I do feel a certain amount of guilt as i have been one of the main protagonists over the years but it only lasted a few seconds and i soon got over it!! ;D ;D ;D "...I do feel a certain amount of guilt as i have been one of the main protagonists over the years ..." ?!!!! Only One??!! L'il ol'me!!! Cheap Snaffling Duck$h.t!!!! Reaper, Youve been the whole bloody orchestra trumping for your darling Red Devils!! The Infirmary at Ol' Twitford (you know, that place where nice men place the clients in white jackets- does yours still fit?!) is looking forward to your next visit. We're requesting the nurses increase the dosage- your thyroid certainly gets a workout!!! They should also bear in mind that Madrid goes through periods of buying nearly every good players under the sun and it's never come off.........Zidane, Raul, Beckham, the fat Ronaldo etc. Fair point about Spanish football- it hasnt actually helped Thierry Henry's football as when he was with the EPL Gunners although Zidane at Real was a standout & improved his football internationally from when he was in Italy.

An interesting article on an often maligned and ridiculed player who is held in very high regards by his team mates and his coach: John O’Shea’s enduring excellence should be Ireland’s inspiration – a personal view
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thursday, 14 May 2009 Section: International
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John O’Shea’s magnificent form for Manchester United this season might well be the encouragement Ireland need to inspire a win over Bulgaria that would, inevitably, be of critical importance in the World Cup race.
Ireland look forward to the match in Sofia on June 6th enjoying a significant five points lead over Bulgaria. A win for Ireland would impact hugely on the relative prospects of both teams, even if Bulgaria have played one match fewer than Ireland.
And if Ireland are looking for a ‘feel-good’ factor from the English season ahead of this important contest, they need look no further than John O’Shea and his enormous contribution to Manchester United’s successful season.
His influence was never more critically demonstrated than it was on Wednesday when United rescued a potentially disastrous situation after falling a goal behind to Wigan Athletic.
O’Shea played a vital part in setting up United’s winning goal from Michael Carrick in the 87th minute.
The season now drawing to a close in England has been described in recent weeks as O’Shea’s most successful for United and it is easy to see why.
United has been O’Shea’s only club since he first signed professional forms in 2000 but he has never played as regularly in United’s first team as he has done this season.
His consistently good form has been affirmed by manager Alex Ferguson who is on record as saying that O’Shea will play in the Champions’ League final against Barcelona.
O’Shea is 28 and has 53 international appearances at senior level since his introduction on August 15, 2001 as substitute in a friendly against Croatia at Lansdowne Road.
It was not the most distinguished of debuts for he conceded the penalty that enabled Croatia draw the match 2-2. But his brilliant career at Old Trafford and with the Republic of Ireland developed consistently from that point so that now he occupies a position of privilege with club and national team.
It is to his enduring credit that his distinction, his flawless reputation in such a competitive business and his increasingly crowded trophy cabinet have not been allowed to adversely affect his personality and natural good-humour.
O’Shea is quietly-spoken and well-mannered. In his own inimitable way he has shown that those who have occasionally suggested that his natural reserve has somehow limited his impact on the game are out-of-touch. He has shown there is more than one way to reach the top.
It is a truism to suggest that the so-called football critics – of whom there are more than enough – too often apply analysis that is based upon one preferred way of playing the game.
John O’Shea gives the lie to that bias for he has proved you do not need to be driven by the most basic warrior characteristics to be a resolute and effective defensive player. He has done so because he is naturally an exceptional athlete and is possessed of a generous range of marvellous technical skills.
His calm and distinctive approach to the demands of competition mark him as a formidable opponent. O’Shea has not had to play the game with a permanent scowl to be successful and, for that, all who love football will applaud him.
His focus for now will be centred upon Manchester United’s needs and the upcoming decisive matches in the Premier League and the Champions’ League.
Ireland’s calls will kick in when the squad gathers in London for the friendly against Nigeria on Friday, May 29, in preparation for the critical World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia on June 6.
The confident and serene manner in which John O’Shea has coped with the rigours of a tough season and the recurring challenge of a battalion of fiercely determined opponents will surely be an incentive and a source of encouragement to his international colleagues.
He will hardly be asked to apply his talents to meeting the challenge of Nigeria so soon after the club season’s climax in Rome, but Ireland’s fans will draw confidence from his presence in the emerald green shirt in Sofia when Ireland look to lay claim to passports to South Africa in 2010.

reddevil32, i could make a tape of ronaldo doing dives and the video would go for about 3 days, and also we could add wayne rooney in and get some footage of him blowing up and throwing the ball away, man that was funny

yeh but that was never me who said ronaldo was gay, although he is a cheating bastard. and thanks for the videos buddy, they were fantastic. How old are you? you obviously have no life spending your time on youtube to find little HILARIOUS videos on liverpool. there would be over 1 million videos of ronaldo and his cheating antics

How old are you? you obviously have no life spending your time on youtube to find little HILARIOUS videos on liverpool. there would be over 1 million videos of ronaldo and his cheating antics ronaldo may pull the occassional dive but so do torres and gerrard and for you liking how rooney got sent off for throwing the ball. i would like you to remember back to last season with the antics of one Javier Mascherano (LIVERPOOL PLAYER). it was hilarious when he came to old trafford and talked his way into getting sent off, his captain tried to stop him, so did carragher in the end he got sent and the fat spanish waiter had to literally pull him off the field. That was a much funnier red card. also its looking like gerrard is going to be playing prison league next season when he is found guilty of bashing that bloke outside the newcastle night club. he will be playing in the same team as Joey Barton, Ledley King and Jon Obi Mikel
