“Ronaldo’s A P*es” – SuperSport Presenter Doesn’t Hold Back [Video]

SuperSport presenter Tshepang 'Twiggy' Mollison gave a rather frank assessment of Cristiano Ronaldo, which hasn't gone down well.

The whole Messi versus Ronaldo argument is really tiresome.

For the football purist, there is no doubt that we have witnessed 15+ years of utter greatness and they have driven each other to bigger and better heights.

For that, we should be thankful.

I’m of the belief that the Argentinian is the greatest footballer that has ever lived, even if his penalty-taking can be a bit iffy at times.

There are countless websites devoted to the argument – I find this one the most detailed and the stat up top is telling:

Yes, yes, feel free to argue your case for Ronaldo. I can see both sides of that coin.

Anyway, there are constructive arguments to be made and there’s the ‘argument’ presented by SuperSport presenter Tshepang ‘Twiggy’ Mollison.

According to IOL, she has been a part of the SuperSport team for a while and “forms part of a team that presents SuperPicks and numerous other magazine shows previewing the ongoing FIFA World Cup”.

You get the feeling this controversy might be the end of that relationship:

Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan, where he trashed Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag, certainly damaged his reputation in the eyes of everyone bar the biggest fanboys.

Even taking that into consideration, Twiggy, it’s actually you who comes out of this looking like a bit of a p*es.

SuperSport soon issued a clarification, saying “this was a rehearsal and not meant for broadcast”:

The point here isn’t even the sentiment, it’s the total lack of bringing anything constructive to the table.

On Twitter, there was a common rallying cry:

Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer in-studio guests who can bring some kind of insight to the table.

Instead, we are stuck with Naas Botha and influencers.
