started speaking about the derby on sunday with a rag today at college and was just having some friendly banter, the usual stuff.

it started to get onto a serious debate then between who would you rather have in your team , ronaldo or ireland? obviously they said tronaldo, i went mad and told him what i thought, overall i would 100% prefer ireland in our team, overall better player and overall better human being than that arrogant twat

what you guys think ? was just wondering, i expect the majority of the answers to be ireland by the way.
 
I love superman but take away the fact he has played for them and just look at the player and his abilities and it has to be ronaldo. wasnt it 40 goals last year or something ridiculous like that?
 
45 and he has scored 20+ this season in what people are calling a 'poor' season, we would our strikers to score that many, never mind a attacking midfielder!
 
Would rather go 0-0-38 with players like Ireland in the squad than win a quintuple with scum like Ronaldo.
 
Ireland is the best player in the world..

I`M SERIOUS.

he is just in a team that needs to be a bit better and then the world will realise..
 
Being realistic and unbiased Ireland's still got a way to go to be at Ronaldo's level to be honest but there's no reason why one day he wont be talked of in the same sentence as the worlds best right now he isnt quite there in the Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Torres, Xavi, Kaka, Gerrard, Rooney, even Robinho level; but he has made a massive improvement each season of his young career so far so the futures bright!
 
I dont understand how if you take away personal prejudice and just look a the players ability and records anybody could argue ireland is the player you would put in the team ahead or ronaldo?

Really!? i mean, yeah he's good but he isnt that good! in all those games where we were struggling away from home the best player in the world would have shone on a pitch with the likes of Stoke, Pompey, Boro, Bolton, Wigan, West Brom etc etc and Ireland was as poor as the rest of them! He is good and is improving, but worlds best, Jesus you are wearing blue-tinted spec's! But fair play to you for being 100% behind the lad!
 
Genuinely blue specs of i'd rather have Ireland in the team. As i think over all he offers more to the team than Ronaldo does through his work rate all over the pitch. Genuinely i also think that Ronaldo is overrated, don't get me wrong he is a great player.

Hmm i just think if he was at any Prem club other than one of the top four he would get far less protection from the ref and wouldn't get away with most of the shit he does. Plus i've just got a feeling that the guy is starting to lose the plot, and hes going to end up having a mental break down or somthing. Honestly I've watched a couple of the rags matches and Ronaldo for no reason at all looked like he was going to burst into tears, honestly theres just somthing not right about him mentally.

Sorry, i didnt actually finish my post off! Because i would rather have Ireland in my team than Ronaldo or anyone else! I actually emailed the club and complained when we tried to sign Kaka because i think it totally undermined the work Ireland has done this season! i want Ireland to grow into a world star, i want him to be our "man"! dont want you to think im siding with Ronaldo over Ireland in our team, but i do think Ireland has got a few more years before he breaks into the top top - im talking top top quality - level!

Haha, theres truly some blue tinted specs in this thread.

As great as Ireland has been this season, he's not had the impact and results Ronaldo can & has produced in the past 3 seasons.

This is only Ireland's second full season, Ronaldo has been getting in the first team for the rags and been a regular for years (2002-2003 he joined the rags) that not a fair comparison. Also you've got to take into account our team compared to the rags. Think about it the likes of Vassel probably wouldn't even get into the rags reserve team and Hamman would of been made to retire or buggered of to somewhere.
