Can't wait til Ronaldo"s debut is over and done with. The Man Utd social media sdmins have been milking the Ronaldo signing for 10 straight days. 

Would be absolute poetry if Steve Bruce spawned a point there and he missed a penalty. Can't see it though.

[cruzFOX]

Yeh I'm sick of the Ronaldo love fest too! It's a bit too much for my liking. Youtube is literally clogged with CR7 golden oldies reels. I like the guy as a player in his prime but lets be honest he's going to be more cheery picking up front like Ebra ready to poke in the chances which he'll get plenty of. Would be very funny like Dan LCFC said if the magpies were the party poopers and made it a boring game. My heart says 0-0 draw but my mind says it will be a 5-0 mauling. Poor Geordies. Anyway, we need to focus on pepci-ty and try and get a fair point out of this if we can.

All those day tripping fans going Saturday just to see him.... be interesting if he doesn't play.

 

Not bound to happen, mind.

 

Newcastle win would be lovely too but I also doubt that as well.

[Spudulike]

Every average pass, dribble or goal will be drooled over with the 'experts' telling us that only Ronaldo can do such a thing (apart from Lee-on-ell, listen to me, I can speak Spanish). 

 

Glad I haven't got Sky. 

[st albans fox]

not sure about ronaldo and penandes together - they’ve hardly shone together for Portugal recently …..

[An Sionnach]

He is a considerable threat in the air is Chris, something Utd. have lacked , they will be dangerous at corners with Slabhead and him.

[Unabomber]

Imagine the fanfare of the actual best player in the world had joined the Prem. Sky reporting on Ronaldo turning up to training etc is a new low.

[Samilktray]

Papers reporting a photo of Ronaldo and Ole together at work was just a bit much, especially when you consider how they are both repulsive human beings.

Toilet paper reporting Ronaldo has an arsehole.

I was hoping to see crazy scenes like the PSG fans with Messi.  We'll probably just see a load of over weight blokes in replica Ronaldo shirts trying to get a selfie.

[fox_up_north]

To be fair, it is a bit of a coup for United, all things considered. And it wasn't out of the realms of possibility that we'd have had the two best players in the world in our league - even if it is the twilight of their careers.

 

I am willing to allow the Ronaldo love-in, for a bit. 

 

 

The rest of it can fvck right off though. Sancho, Ole, Fernandes...all of them. 

[Dan LCFC]

I still don't think they'll pull up any trees this season. They're still a mile off Chelsea and Man City for me. I do think this is the signing that leads to the penny dropping to them about Solskjaer though.

I have to cart a child to uni on sat afternoon so will rely on radio for this. our game should be on five live because it’s the biggest three o clock k/o BUT we all know that they’ll be at OT to witness CR7 come on for the last ten mins when yanited are three up

Is this a sign of what we will get in England?

Sports fans in Scotland will need to prove they have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 in order to attend matches from October 1.

The vaccine passport scheme will apply to all events where crowds are bigger than 10,000 people.

 

Unseated outdoor events where more than 4,000 people attend will also be subject to the new measures, as will indoor events with more than 500 spectators.

 

providing a negative test result as an alternative to a covid passport will not be accepted.

 

However, those under 18, participants in vaccine trials, those unable to get vaccinated for medical reasons and employees at venues within the scope of the scheme will be exempt.

Surely that will only effect Celtic and Rangers home matches though.

Ronaldo himself will deliver I've no doubt about that, but you're right and this was generally the case at Juventus. Could see a similar situation.

Isn't that already been pretty much confirmed in England too from October? Leicester are going to be pretty much doing this.

I can’t see the Westminster govt pushing ahead with not accepting a neg LFT test as an alternative. I don’t thInk they will get VP’s through a vote. 
however, it’s possible that they could change the procedure to require LFT’s for access to events to be done at pop up hubs rather than home tests to avoid ‘dodgy testing’.

That's got to be the sensible happy medium.
