    Ronaldinho and Riquelme have both offered to play for Chapecoense for free next season to help them try and rebuild after the terrible tragedy.

    Jack Rodwell had offered aswell but they politely turned him down.

    ****ing shocking that!

    Ronaldinho hasn't signed for Chapecoense and any suggestions that he has is complete and utter bullshit.

    Earlier this week, several media outlets had stories on so-called "reports" that the Brazilian playmaker, and Juan Roman Riquelme, were coming out of retirement to play for Chapecoense, the Brazilian team involved in a tragic plane crash in Colombia.

    Two world class players and legends of South American football offering their help to the devastated club for their final game of the season next week would be a heartwarming gesture.

    However, it's just not true and media outlets who report it are spreading a lie.

    The Ronaldinho rumour appeared to have started with a campaign on Instagram urging the former Barcelona player to sign for the club.

    Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto Assis was asked about the rumour. He said that there had been no contact from the club - unsurprisingly given they were dealing with the crash that saw almost their entire team die - but he and his brother would be happy to help in anyway they could.

    Next thing there's "reports" that Ronaldinho has come out of retirement to play for the club.

    Except he hasn't and either has Riquelme. The story is bullshit of the highest order.

    71 people died in the accident, a team were on the way to the biggest match in their history, and there are extremely serious questions to be answered over the safety precautions and the amount of fuel on the plane for the journey.

    Instead, some media outlets chose to focus on a fake story about a famous player.

    If that wasn't bad enough, an old photo of Ronaldinho is doing the rounds on Twitter, and the caption claims the Brazilian has signed for the club.

    Fact checking is a thing of the past when you look at the internet press.

    No idea why people would bother photoshopping images/misappropriating old images to spread a false rumout. About something as grim as this.

    Well now, that's your opinion.

    We obviously act different when our daughters are attacked. I like to look for revenge and hurt the person that has done it.

    No need to call me sick though you ****ing div.

    You are, though.

    Sticking your beak in and not understanding why somebody would react when their daughters have been attacked.

    Do we need to be asking certain questions, of you?

    Just take a few deep breaths, go back and review all the stuff that you put on the Mags thread.
