Yes indeed it's his personal live... It's their personal lives
that is the best way to see a character, not on the field where
it's just a job at the end of the day... And where on earth did you
get the impression it was just from a footballing perspective?
Because it certainly wasn't obvious to me... But whatever it is,
you cannot deny what he did and continue to do till this present
day is an act of bad character can you?
If you talk about that incident of Ronaldo with Nani and
Anderson... Seriously speaking, what was so wrong about them? They
are all young unmarried men in their early 20s... No wife, no
partner, no son, no daughters... in other words, no children... All
single young men. You even bother to compare this to Lampard's? Do
you see the difference or not, or your bias mind can't tell it
apart? Well, I will try to point it out for you... One is not
married, is single and no kids at home waiting for them... The
other is in his 30s, has a partner for 7 yrs, have 2 kids at
home... Now, do you see the vast difference?
Lets put it this way, even Rooney... ever since he got married,
he don't go fooling around anymore... he is even expecting a kid
with his wife soon... Then their is Henry, he also has a child and
he got married too... He is prepared to be responsible to them
legally unlike Lampard... I can's think any worse of him. He had a
partner before he even joint Chelsea, became rich and famous, have
kids but yet refused to marry the woman of his children... Why? One
can only assume that he isn't responsible enough... He could be
afraid that he may have to pay a huge settlement in the event he
decides to dump her... But now he don't really have to... And if
not for the DJ and the public attention it attracted, he may have
just left them in that small apartment... In other words, I find
his actions that of a cowardice...
With a post list that Zocoss, it's really ironic that you
accusse me of bias. And to think you so eagerly side me when I was
commenting about certain other forumers in the past that you had
issues with. Bias indeed.
The thing about his kids and the apartment and all, we won't
really know sure whether the arrangements were before or after the
article. Give and take. And what he says makes sense, when you
split, obviously you're not going to stay together, it's a fact of
life. I'm sure whatever arrangements they have, there's bound to be
many considerations into it good or bad. All I'm saying is not to
read too much into it. You seem eager to condemn him though, bias
maybe?
The Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson issue, Ronaldo was attached then was
he not? Some supermodel or something. In any case, I was only
bringing up that incident in response to that of the one involving
current Man U defender, Ferdinand and Lampard while they were still
at West Ham. Back then, Ferdinand, Lampard were young and single
too. Maybe if you weren't so worked up you might realise what I was
trying to say and that the bias doesn't lie with me.
About Rooney, well, if we were to assume every news article is
true, remember him and some old granny hooker?
Henry himself before he left to Barcelona split with his wife.
Again media reports rumoured there was a third party involved.
I just wish you'd come up with better examples actually. Gary
Neville in my opinion is a good example when it comes to such
issues about personal life. Or even Paul Scholes. I think ex-keeper
Tim Howard is a good example as well. Just funny you should mention
Rooney off hand. I'm just recalling off the top of my head as well
just like you.
I think also when commenting on character, you and I have
different standards. I won't comment on yours, but personally their
private lives is one thing, whether or not I agree or approve of
that kind of lifestyle. But what comment Lampard made about Messi
vs Ronaldo was based on football. Ronaldo's wanting to leave Man U
is also footballing linked.
Maybe as a person, you can talk about who they sleep with and
all, for myself I limit to just what the person is as a footballer
and in the footballing world. Just for the record though, a
professional footballer's personal life shouldn't interfere with
his performance (think Ronaldinho). Ronaldo and Lampard though are
two individuals who haven't let their personal lives affect what
they do on the pitch. Maybe it drives and inspires them even.
It's really funny to think that people in this forum have
previously accused me of being a Man U fan and here this is
happening. I think you should reflect on yourself about bias being
an ex-Chelsea fan and all.
