RONALDO at the centre of another storm at the Riverside.
Boro boss Gareth Southgate accused the Portuguese winger of diving to win Manchester United a penalty as they moved six points clear at the top.

Ronaldo tumbled over Middlesbrough keeper Mark Schwarzer in the box despite there appearing to be no contact. Louis Saha converted from the spot before United were rocked by James Morrison's volleyed leveller. But Darren Fletcher regained the lead almost immediately as he headed home Ryan Giggs' centre.

Southgate was furious that Ronaldo failed to stay on his feet. He said: "There was no contact whatsoever. The keeper has tried his best to get out of the way and the player goes down ... again.

United boss Alex Ferguson was adamant it was a spotkick. He said: "I thought it was a clear pen to be honest with you. "Hes trying to evade it but would he have scored? I think he would have."

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate:
"Ronaldo made no contact with our keeper.
"Schwarzer tried his best to get out of the way. We've seen it so many times. It's clearly not a penalty."

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson:
"I think that our away form has been fantastic.
"That's got to be needed because it's such a tight top of the league with ourselves and Chelsea.

"The lads showed great resolution, even when Middlesbrough equalised we were straight back at them and they wanted to win it. That's important."

Lol Ronaldo ronaldo.. There wasn’t contact but I think he couldn’t balance himself, it wasn’t exactly a dive but it was a wrong call by the ref.. There was another one where he got a free kick. That one if see normally looks as if he got his leg caught but slow motion, its as if he purposely contact his leg with Boateng’s leg.. Oh well bottom line Man U won!!!!!! But kind of disappointed with Rooney and Giggs performance yesterday in particular Giggs.. I think, yesterday the ball was kinda weird that’s why Man U didn’t play much passing.. Rooney couldn’t handle the ball well.. And did you saw the free kick Giggs and Ronaldo were talking about? They were discussing about the spot on the ball to kick and when Ronaldo strike it, it was bloody sweet rocket. Is there a technique or something to strike the ball? And kudos to Flethcher. Improved quite a lot and he was outstanding last night with a hardworking performance yesterday. Maybe should try Ronaldo Scholes Carrick Flethcer formation one day. Let Giggs sit out.

ronaldo and robben are the 2 biggest cheat in the EPL.

and there are plenty of play-acting in the premiership too.

it is spoiling the game.

Lol the Man U supporter scored against Man U Laughing

Hmm, Ronaldo dived.
United could have scored more goals if they took their chances well.

Cheers.

I agree with Pitot, he did not argue.

I bet he could have dived for the 2nd goal if he wants to but he did not.

iceFatboy SG

one notably fact is the performance of Giggs.
He seems sluggish, and that's unusual given he rested.
And twice, he could have scored but did not.
I got this funny feeling that he is getting back @ SAF.

any noticed?
