It seems it’s lucky that the video of him slagging off Klopp was leaked to see what sort of disgusting person he is

That was just stupid and unprofessional this is a whole new level and the lowest of society in my opinion.
If guilty I hope he gets a long time inside looking over his shoulder every second of the day

The Klopp video brought his character to light and that then expanded to his drug use
He then attempted to imo use being gay as an excuse and too many of the “football media” treated him as the poor victim in it all and the stress of being a ref

The Klopp video rightly cost him his job but that was enough punishment for me.
I don’t remember the media treating him as a victim, he wasn’t a ref anymore and everyone moved on.
What he has how been accused of if found guilty he should get locked and throw away the key.

Blimey. People are hated enough for being a referee. But a nonce as well? That's next level!

There were some articles from the likes of Samuels who were looking to point the finger of blame at Klopp and other managers

Not just Aguero's career goals. He had also scored more after the age of 30 than the following did in their entire careers:
If that’s true it’s crazy
Maradona
Drogba
Henry
Ronaldo (R9)
Eto
Raul
Neymar
Francis Jeffers
Note, I found an article that listed all the above except the last, so that was a guess on my part

I’d say he’s a freak of nature,but it’s also hard work & looking after himself.
His diet must be SO boring
I'm still trying to work out why Francis Jeffers was part of that list

Not really convinced that’s a great list to make the comparison with.
Maradona spent most of his 30s off his tits and was never really an out and out striker more of a Midfielder/No10. Though did still did great things.
R9 Spent most of his 30s injured and played sporadically.
Neymar sold himself out to Saudi and let’s be honest has never actually been as good as he was touted to be.
Raul was a great striker but again was not really the same type of forward Ronaldo is.
Plus you’ve got a list with Franny Jeffers on it. One of the worst signings arsenal ever made and can’t even be put amongst that list of players that alone voids that list!
Cristiano Ronaldo is an exceptional player probably go down as the greatest striker in history. But also his numbers are greatly inflated by the sheer number of games played compared to last eras and the amount he’s scored against lesser teams at international level due to increased games.
For me as I’ve said arguably the greatest striker ever, but not the greatest player of all time IMO.

Firstly, hopefully everyone caught on that including Francis Jeffers on the list was clearly me taking the mick!?
Secondly, we all know Ronaldo has been helped in scoring so many goals after 30 is his longevity. That's very much part of the point though. It's the sheer scale of how he has managed to prolong his career so long after the age of 30, and thus scored so much more than other greats have scored in a life time
P.S. the list was repeated to career goals, not just international goals

Must of missed that obvious joke then
As I said as well no doubt the greatest striker and his longevity is testament to his dedication to his trade and his physique but for me once he went to Saudi any additional goals scores to increase the legend become a bit pointless considering the quality of football and opposition.
I am aware it was career not just international but maybe you missed my point like I Missed your joke. I was merely pointing out one of the reason he scored so many is the increased nothing games at international level that was not available to the others in your list therefore reducing their games to goals opportunities
