jambostuart Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 While I'm sure it would have been disappointing not to see Ronaldo, claiming "mental anguish" is taking it a bit far? Still though, definitely poor for the club/player to not honour their side of the contract. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-49168694 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Bit of a strange one. If he was ‘contracted to play 45 mins’ then I’d imagine that was included in the fee Juve would have received. Fans taking legal action is beyond my interest, but I’m sure Juve were paid handsomely to play this match - featuring Cristiano Ronaldo. Arguable even because of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bazzas right boot Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Quality. I'm going to sue Hearts for "mental anguish" when Stevie Maclean DOES come on for us as a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal_ Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Fair enough if you were sold a ticket stating youd see Ronaldo play and then didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo, Goodbye Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Some fans paid over $400 for a ticket! "When the game was first announced, organisers said the contract with Juventus obliged Ronaldo to play for at least 45 minutes, prompting many fans to splash the cash, according to Seoul law firm Myungan." Ronaldo is HUGELY popular in Korea and I wouldn't be surprised if almost all the ticket sales were purely to see him play. Pavel Nedved said "I also hope Ronaldo plays. But he says he doesn't want to. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do". The stadium holds 50,000 and was sold out in under 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah O Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 As much as I'd love Hearts to be one of the biggest clubs in the world... ...I'm also glad we're not. How devoid of Seoul are these "glamour" friendlies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I was gutted when barca didn't bring Messi over for the friendly in 07. Then he showed up to play hibs the next again year. Should have sued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) That’s the gamble, as Tony Green would say on Bullseye. I went to Scotland v Argentina in 1990 in the hope of seeing Maradona but he fecked off at the last minute to some event elsewhere, no doubt for a huge backhander. At least we had most of the World Champions to fall back on and we beat them! I’ve been to a few EPL matches but I’ll never do a tourist match, especially a friendly, to see one individual.

OTT Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Well, tbf if you're going to try and milk the asian market you should really deliver why they're coming to watch you. FWIW I hate this part of modern football. Koreans don't give a **** about Juventus, they want to see good players. Its irrelevant if its Juve, Milan, PSG, Man City. I wish clubs or even those Koreans would reject this blatant attempt at commercialising their market and support their local team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhelen Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It's a risk you take. I might go to the theatre to see a certain actor but if they're unwell then I've a ticket for the play not the actor. They saw Juventus play. At most they should get a refund of ticket.
