 This was Ronaldo’s explanation (excuse) for this bizarre incident:

Rooney took the corner, I jumped and that was when I heard a shout from Richards and simultaneously the sound of a whistle. I was convinced that the ref had blown for a foul. I stopped trying to head the ball and score a goal. I grabbed the ball so Richards could get help

PremiershipBettingBanter.com thought that this was a pretty good excuse, but we’ve come up with a couple more excuses he could use:

  1. When he jumped to head the ball, the wind blew his hair out of place and he tried to re-style it.
  2. A fan in the crowd started chanting: hands up if you love Ronaldo.
  3. Ronaldo was practising for the Olympic netball team.
  4. Maradonna’s visit to the Manchester United training ground was a bad influence on him.

If you have any other excuses you think Ronaldo could use then feel free to send them in and we’ll add them here.
