Let us not go into the issue of diving as it's been discussed to death. The articles suggests that Ferguson may be making a little too much about Ronaldo needing protection when there are several players that are being fouled more often than him, with Villa having two themselves. There isn't a doubt Ronaldo gets fouled often because he is too quick and nimble for most players but the question is; Is Ferguson making a meal of things by demanding Ronaldo gets more protection from referees, while none of the other managers have done so? Is it because of his price tag? The fact that he plays for the richest club in the world? The fact that he earns more?
Good points mate, i would like to add to the bold part if i may, IMHO, Sir Alex is like protecting Ronaldo more then the rest of the Man Utd players and the reason to that is maybe because of Ronaldo being the key and important player to Man Utd and he doesn't want him to get injured. I won't need to state of what happens if he does get injured ... Man Utd will lose 2 points at the last Derby game for example.
I don't think Sir Alex would give the caption's arm band to Ronaldo any time soon as he's still protecting him. Look at the top four's captions ... you hardly read and see their managers going like "Oh my Oh my caption !" They just give them the caption's arm band and instructions and that's it.
