Rooney makes apology for diving....

[Pacman]

You are very mis guided if you think he is what is wrong with football and society. He generally keeps himself to himself off the pitch, unlike the Ferdinands, Coles, Pennants of this world. And on the pitch he's a passionate, hard working lad, who loves his team. Very much like some of our best players. He has his flaws, sure, but who doesn't?

He likes to **** pensioner prostitutes. It's a bit more than a flaw.

Next you'll be saying George Michael is mis understood.

very cheeky comment by Fergie though

[Reece]

I don't read about him out battering people senseless on a Saturday night, getting drunk and stabbing people running around in a gang raping and maiming people or lending large sums of money to people who have no way of paying it back.

That's exactly what he would be doing

They aren't unfounded. How many times has been caught fighting with/spitting at photographers on a night out

Sorry Sarb, but the section of Spud's post I have quoted is that bit that Van Halen highlighted and said that is what Rooney would be doing. That is obviously unfounded.
I rest my case your honour

In that circumstance I have rather more sympathy for Rooney than his supposed victims.

Photographers have feelings too.

And there's never any excuses for spitting at someone.

[Van Halen]

Yes, yes it is. You're saying that Spud is making unfounded claims about you, well that is bsically what you are doing with Rooney.

Not at all, do you understand basic English? I make no reference to anybody making unfounded claims about me. I am making the point that Wayne Rooney is a thug, period (understand so far?) I have friends and family on Merseyside that know the Rooneys well. Some of them are Evertonians who went to school with him at De La Salle in Liverpool. Hopefully that's clear enough for you and the other guy who's now bringing his wife into the mix.

It always confounds me when people say or imply that spitting is somehow worse than hitting. Yes it's repellent but...

That aside, I don't really care if tabloid photographers have feelings. I'm going to change my signature and they are included.

By the way, it's not meant literally.

Oooh we're resorting to patronising now are we?

I was merely pointing out that what you have suggested Rooney would be doing there is unfounded, whether you know people who know people or not.

[BFG]

......why bother? He's glib and insincere. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/low/foo...pe/7749331.stm

He should apologize for being a horrible, rough, uncouth human being. He epitomizes everything that's wrong in football and society. Send the ba***rd to Afghanistan for a couple of years, he may just refresh his very limited vocabulary with the word integrity.

Yeah let's send him abroad to fight an illegal and immoral war to teach him about integrity.

I see your point but I feel there is something inherently scummy about spitting on someone. Hitting someone is obviously going to inflict a lot more physical pain but spitting on someone is just plain degrading.

Well, I'm not in favour of it...

I suppose when you get to your age you become more of a dribbler than a spitter.

[QUOTE=Reggie;1217427]Oooh we're resorting to patronising now are we?

No, asking a question is not condescending. You can only make a fair judgement about someone if there is enough evidence to support your case. Wayne Rooney is a thug always has been, always will be.

Who said anything about fighting? He would be better off working for the red cross as an aid worker.

But 'knowing someone' on Merseyside who's judged Rooney as a thug is enough supporting evidence to suggest he epitomises everything that is wrong with society?

Not covering yourself in glory here Van.
