weirdcal Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Saw this too. Such a shame. Found this other story from a while back too. Portuguese legend and Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has been accused of not helping terminally ill footballer and former Rangers FC star Fernando Ricksen. In a recent interview, Ricksen’s wife Veronica said that Ronaldo did not offer help to her family despite meeting with him personally. In an interview given to the Russian Match TV website, Veronika Ricksen explained in detail the ordeals her family is going through, also adding that they don’t get much help from world-famous players. She narrated the story of their meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo as an example to her above point. “Once we met with Cristiano Ronaldo, so what? I can’t say I wasn’t much thrilled about the meeting,” she was quoted as saying by RT. “Bella (Ricksen’s daughter) wanted to see a man whom she, together with her father, watched playing football on TV. Fernando promised her to arrange a meeting with him and he kept his promise. We went to Madrid to see him (Ronaldo).” In light of this I imagine that Rangers, Gerrard and the most diverse and religiously welcoming fans in the universe will now rightly boycott any plans to sign Ronaldo based on grounds of morality.What help does she expect? Him to wheel him round? Or is it just handouts she's after? Actual nothing story trying to make Ronaldo look bad because he didn't throw money at a former Pro he probably never even met before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hardly. Personally, and not being a fan of either of the big two, I really liked Ricksen and mainly due to the fact he was batshit crazy and I feel he was part of the Rangers team when the SPL was in a pretty good place. I would’ve thought the opening line where I said it was “such a shame” might have given a clue to my sentiments. I actually feel sorry for Ricksen nowadays due to his illness and also the fact he got wheeled out like a performing monkey at every opportunity, much like Gazza in some ways. I think it would be better all round if they could live out their days in peace as they won’t have as many as the rest of us. I also don’t know what his wife expects from Ronaldo. The world’s most famous footballer must have to meet loads of various people as part of his job and I’m left feeling that the article suggests they were looking for some sort of donation or something. Ronaldo has no obligation to do anything but has donated a top which I reckon could easily be auctioned for £10k. Ah shite sorry m90, took that as sarcasm. Was having a spat with an annoying Aberdeen fan at the time so wasn't well disposed to your mob. In the words of the immortal Dougie Vipond, I do agolopise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try tomorrow but I have a waiting list, have resigned myself to getting a Hospitality ticket if they can ever be bothered to announce what price they are & what you get for it.

As for following you, you really do have an inflated sense of self importance I read on here you were apparently once witty and cutting edge. Where did that go ? I doubt you read that on here.
