£4m euro? Surely that's just pocket money to a cash-rinsing commodity like Messi?Comment

This is what I don't get. When you're paid that much, why fiddle your taxes? He won't serve a day. And the fine? €2m, and €1.5m to his dad. How quickly does he earn that?Comment

He got £2.5 million for going to Gabon and hanging out with its dictator to open the new national stadium. So I guess the answer is, one or two days.
Can you just imagine the reaction if Ronaldo had done anything like this?Comment

Messi is the friend of Nethanyahu. Ronaldo is the friend of Palestinians.
Ronaldo is 50 times more the man tax cheat Messi is.Comment

Sits's point is that €4 million shouldn't matter to somebody who earns seven or eight times that amount every year.
It would be like one of us trying to defraud the Revenue Commissioners of six grand. Except that an extra six grand would probably make a reasonable difference to most of us – a decent holiday abroad, or the credit card cleared, or the service charge paid for the next three years, or whatever – whereas another four million does not affect Messi's living standards a single bit. He's just a thieving little wanker.Comment

I'd really hoped CV was going to say Ronaldo refused to have tattoos because he'd fucking seen the state of Messi's.
Fuck both of 'em. It's a real pity wee Lionel can't do a couple of months and be made to repay the amount stolen.
As for Ronaldo, I hope Wales hand him his arse later and we see him waving his arms around in frustration at his mere-mortal team mates as usual
The prick.Comment

Please say that's a wee joke. I'd hate to make a connection between Rangers fans and a cavalier attitude to paying your damned taxes.
