The Ronaldo fatwa over - Dunphy’s finest u-turn yet
Sadly it was Ireland’s Brightest Daily and not Billo that was treated to the inevitable Eamo climb-down on the “puffball” who “would never be a player as long as he had a hole in his arse.”
Some of the shocking confession from yesterday’s Star:
“I couldn’t have been more wrong about Cristiano Ronaldo.”
“In the history of the game, I can’t remember another winger who has been so prolific in front of goal.”
“We have to reassess Ronaldo’s reputation. Increasingly, he looks like the real deal.”
“Ronaldo is something special. I was wrong.”
“Ronaldo is on the road to greatness…”
But hold on, there’s room for another twist down the line:
“… but he still has a bit to travel.”
Remember that little heavy lad who was relegated to “good player” status just before Christmas…
“He has to look at Rooney to see what real greatness is like. Rooney is the template. He is what Ronaldo has to aspire to and he has the ability to get there.”

I could of telling Dunphy that 4 years ago when a skinny unknown portugees shoe pony played his first game for the reds. He didnt play great but you could spot that you were dealing with a kid that had something very special about him, and the potential was oozing out of his pores. His imagination and creativity on the ball was always there, you could tell it was just a matter of time before he would perfect his unique style. He has revolutionised the game in an attackin sense.

He’ll never reach the heights attained by the likes of Danny Wallace or Eddie McGoldrick, but he can play a bit…
