lol na you're just jumping on the hate bandwagon, arent you? nearly every player swears, simple as that. i aint saying its right, when i played amatuer local football if we swore we were fined/booked and yet we'd watch football on telly and its everywhere. i swear at work when im stressed, blokes on building sites swear, he's at work he swore. had his face full of a TV camera and he's meant to mind his p's and q's? i think its a completely OTT reaction.

He's done it on purpose though. You are right, all footballers swear and Match of the Day will show dozens of mouthed swearwords from players and managers each episode. But it's not like Rooney was unfortunately captured swearing by the cameras. He found the camera and made it his intention to spew his vulgarity across the nation. World class player, under class human being.

I agreed with everything you said up until this.

This I think is the point. It was not just the nation but all around the World. I suspect that it is not the sort of image that the Prem would like to present to sell their "product". We all know that players swear, but not straight into a camera when kids are watching everywhere. Bet you won`t see anything like it at the upcoming Rugby WC.

Its the thin end of a wedge that has been getting thicker and thicker, the FA has become so spineless and treats the players, managers and clubs with far too much respect. I agree that you hear swearing in all walks of live but then most builders don't have young children copying them and repeating everything they say. The FA needs to grow a set of balls and start acting like they are the administrators of English Football, stop pussyfooting around and draw a line in the sand and demand respect from clubs, players and managers. If the the players, managers and clubs misbehave in any way fine them and ban them, but do it so they won't do it again, player or manager disrespecting referees - 3 match ban and 50% of weekly wage fine. Its said far too often but its getting out of hand and the somebody needs to grow a pair.

well again i watch it and i see a man pumped up after getting a hattrick to help his team over turn a 2-0 reverse into a 3-2 advantage. i think i'd be the same way and anybody who has played would probably agree? but its rooney so there's additional hate.

 

i think the bloke is a pillock too, dont get me wrong he can be a nasty piece of work, the elbow earlier this season being a prime example, but judging this case on its own think it would be harsh to carpet him

Isn't turning a 2-0 reverse into a 3-2 advantage exactly what we did on Saturday? Yet I wasn't surrounded by people shouting "F*** Off" when Barney scored even though I would think they were just as excited as Rooney was. If he had shouted something vaguely sensible and just included some offensive words then I could have accepted that it was maybe just excitement, but what he shouted seemed designed purely to offend.

 

Also, referees are pumped up during matches 'cos there's at least as much pressure on them as on players, but you never seem to catch them swearing on MOTD. It happens with players because everyone in authority tolerates it.

He's nothing but a yob. He's not fit to wear an England shirt.

 

You think of the great figures such as Bobby Moore and it's wrong that the likes of Rooney are allowed to represent the country nowadays.

Read Sir Geoff's autobiography. England were winning 3-2 in the World Cup Final, Sir Bobby Charlton has the ball in his own penalty area. Sir Geoff hear's a shout from an Sir Bobby Moore - 'Just f*cking kick it'.

 

Oh noes he swore.

Massive difference between that and what Rooney did.

I tend to agree, I've always said that if he wasn't a professional footballer then he'd probably be a football hooligan and would have a manual blue collar job, such as a shift-worker at a poultry farm.

 

He's been given a wonderful talent, pity he has no class to go with it. A horrid, spiteful and quite pitiful man.

I've been going to football since I was 8. Seen dreadful hooliganism, awful tackles, referees being harassed, jostled and abused, heard racist, homophobic, sexist chants/comments, swearing really doesn't come close to any of those.

 

You're being a pedant, you know what people mean.

What was it that made you support Millwall Chris?

Massive difference between saying "f*ck sake" under your breath when you miss a shot/get tackled and shouting down the camera like he did.

I still don't understand why he's saying it though. "F*cking what? WHAT? F*cking hell..." just doesn't make sense. Is he just mental and didn't like the camera staring at him?

Sir Alex Ferguson today hit back at a senior West Midlands Police officer for saying Wayne Rooney would have been arrested had his “ridiculous aggression” on pitch been played out in Wolverhampton.

 

The Manchester United boss launched an attack on Supt Mark Payne, who had accused Rooney of giving youngsters the idea loutish behaviour would be tolerated.

 

Supt Payne, second in command at Wolverhampton police, wrote on his blog: “If Rooney had behaved like that in Wolverhampton on Saturday night, I would have expected my officers to lock him up.

 

“People in positions of influence have an obligation to behave like human beings.”

 

But Ferguson told media who had gathered for today’s pre-match press conference in Manchester: “Everyone has an opinion today. There is an issue in the modern world of a need to be noticed.

 

“Have you ever seen Wolverhampton on a Saturday night? Do police ever arrest anyone for swearing on a Saturday night? Dearie me. That is a good one.”

 

The 25-year-old United and England striker must serve a two-match ban for his four-letter outburst to TV cameras on Saturday.

 

It prompted Supt Payne to write: “I have seen a thousand Rooneys, and I am sure most police officers will have. The same aggressive stance, the bulging eyes, the foul-mouthed rant, fists clenched, surrounded by his mates, all cheering him on.”

 

He said Rooney had offered an apology but added: “What he won’t be able to do is alter the impression that he has left in the eyes of the watching youngsters.

 

“It is OK to insult and abuse, it is OK to react with ridiculous aggression to perceived slights or provocation, it is excusable because it is the heat of the moment.”

 

Wolverhampton Mayor Councillor Malcolm Gwinnett today defended the city’s police against Sir Alex’s attack saying it was “over the top.”

Swearing when you miss a shot or get hacked down, that's fine IMO. Doing it directly at a camera when you KNOW you are being directly filmed and can be heard, totally wrong. Deserves punishment.

 

May not be related, but I was in Torquay the other day and saw 3 kids about 11-12 years old. If that. They were walking around going 'go on, shout fu.ck' then one of them would, and they'd all burst out laughing. They must have learned that somewhere, maybe from watching their hero Rooney?
