It's just a shame that referees have waited until their careers are over in everything but name only before having the guts to start sending them off. At least everyone apart from Celtic fans realise that Scott Brown is an absolute rat. There are some very thick, gullible people out there who believe the Messi hype that he is some sort of saint.

Des Lynam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 He’s very close to Robbo in how to dominate a derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickycameron98 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Messi has lost his spark. He's not in a great team anymore and has not been the same last couple of years. No way he will still be producing like Ronaldo is when he is 35/36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still score the odd goal against the likes of Betis or Valladolid but in the big domestic games or in Europe, nothing. Ronaldo is just on a different level in terms of ability, condition and will to win. One thing they have in common though is that they both scored their last el clasico goal in the same match. When you consider that Ronaldo has been in Italy for the last three years though that tells you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Lynam Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Pichichi Madridistas! Pichichi! It’s sad bitterness doesn’t allow some folks to enjoy two incredible players in Messi and Ronaldo. Everyone knows in their heart who’s better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboelite Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 When i saw this thread i knew one person would be all over it with their obsession to play down one of the greatest players to have played the game because they cant see past another player and team. Appreciating both is clearly impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciating both is clearly impossible. For him anyway. Ronaldo and Messi are both fantastic, as it’s been said though the wee man will need to find his spark again to get back to the top of his game. It will be interesting to see if Barca with no money will keep him or if he goes elsewhere as Ronaldo did which might just revitalise him.

Messi is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all time. He does have that dark side though and gets away with things that other players don't, which is the serious point I'm trying to make. A lot of my comments were just in response to a certain other poster who seems to have taken a shine to me and keeps stalking me across various threads using various whatever else. Very odd behaviour but each to their own I suppose. Maybe I should be flattered. Just FYI, that Messi goal in the clip was the winner in the April 2017 clasico when Madrid and Barça were neck and neck for the title. Madrid went on to win the league and threw in the Champions League for good measure. You could argue that in that instance Barça are more like Hibs, wildly celebrating a "derby" win which ultimately turned out to be pretty meaningless.

ri Alban Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) It's amazing with the treatment both have suffered down the years, that they've played so many games for both club and Country. As for the red card. I'll forgive the odd nutcase moment because of the Hatchet Men who think putting these 2 out the game makes them important. Football is going to miss these 2 lads when they hang their boots. Edited January 22, 2021 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two incredible players that we've been blessed to have playing at the same time at such a high level over so many years. I still wouldn't choose either of them ahead of Robbo though!
