2/3 Premier League Games

[Neil Young]

it's the fault of our own addiction to outrage and moral need to feel better than others/like our way of life is constantly under attack from all quarters. when in reality, a man just said **** twice. as happens everywhere, really.

Speak for yourself.

I don't think it's terrible but it's unnecessary and some find it unpleasant (actually I do even though I swear too) so some sort of sanction is justified.

I'm sure some of the reaction to it is well over the top but I try to ignore all that kind of crap.

Lol as Oliver Holt said in his colomn today, that comparison is facile.

Drogba like Rooney swore into a tv camera but he also confronted the referee, jabbed his finger at his face, shouted abuse, and had to be restrained by security guards.
Slightly different circumstances

true, chelsea was robbed iirc. anyway, rooney is far biggest cunt than dogbreath.

Rooney loses appeal and is banned for two games including the semi final

should have been increased for wasting time on an appeal that should never have been made.

He really doesn't get it, does he.

Manchester United issued the following statement on Thursday morning in response to the decision to uphold Wayne Rooney's two-match suspension.

"Manchester United is clearly very disappointed with the Regulatory Commission's decision.

"The Club put forward a very strong case to have the punishment reduced, which was unsuccessful.

"Wayne Rooney apologised immediately after the match and the Club now wishes to move to on to what hopefully will be a very exciting conclusion to the season."

Moments later, Wayne issued his personal reaction to the decision and declared his dismay at having to miss two domestic games.

"I am gutted to miss two matches, one of which is an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won’t be the last.

"Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right.

"Whatever, I have to accept that what’s happened has happened and move on from here. That’s what I intend to do.”

He's actually trying to justify himself now!
