Rooney makes apology for diving....

[Van Halen]

......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.

I'd prefer someone like Rooney than the celebrity whore-mongering type like Rio Ferdinand.

Anyway, who the **** does Fergie think he is saying something like:

"I think he's been watching (Villarreal forward) Robert Pires too much. At least he apologised to their players. You'd never see Pires do that."

When he has ****ing Ronaldo in his team.

Eh?

He shouts and swears a little on the football field and he went through a granny shagging phase a few years back.

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 comment of yours reeks of pure snobbery. Is little working class Wayne getting above his station?

[Chrono]

The best part is he is too thick to even dive properly.

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?

Nonsense he turns his back on his boyhood club to move to one of their biggest enemies for the money and then started telling lies about his former manager who always had his best interests at heart.
Added to that riding a granny pro while he was going out with someone isnt really what I would call good for society.
Not saying he is the scum of the earth for doing all that but he certainly wouldnt be a role model in my eyes.

Can't ****ing help yourself.

I've never really been convinced that we can expect footballers to be role models going by the general meaning of the term (obviously there can be plenty of different levels of role model). A high percentage of them are brought up in poor, working class families and have a poor level of education, yet we seem to expect them to do everything right all the time just because they are being highly paid and are in the public eye.

That's exactly what he would be doing, except he obviously has better advisers than Joey Barton. Your comment regarding snobbery is unfounded and nonsensical it has no place relating at all to the character of Mr Rooney and therefore any link to class in society is totally irrelevant. Read Robbie Fowler's book and you will understand how his family and mother (in particular) kept him in tow on a council estate where crime was rife. "Little Wayne" is a little runt and renowned for being a tearaway and someone who has no idea about morality, principles or integrity regardless of his background. Someone like Xabi Alonso for instance, well mannered, very intelligent and articulate person comes from a very humble family who taught him right from wrong...hence my point, Rooney is a low life, period. Bringing a lame class comment into this is absurd - being a thug like Rooney is no excuse for a lack of standards, education and therefore integrity.

Slightly hypocritical no?

[Van Halen]

Slightly hypocritical no?

no, not at all.

[Van Halen]

exactly!

[spud_gun]

Arf!

An entire argument based on conjecture. Arf arf!

Are you my wife? That's the sort of irrational way she starts argument.

[Reece]

no, not at all.

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.

[Sarb]

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