Fuck off! Rooney is doing what he learned in football and what every other footballer in the country does. This doesn't condone it - but Wayne has obviously been working at this aspect of the game. He's turned it right round under SAF's prompting in recent months and then this cnut gives him this abuse! Fuck him, this is classist, anti-northern, pompous wank from know nothing cnuts in westminster picking out Wayne as an easy target when he's the one footballer who's been working hard to change it.
Wayne is not the cause of a fcuked up culture - he's the product of it - but he's trying to change it and it's been obvious in his response to refs these past few months. He doesn't deserve this from this spoofer in Westminster Tobias Ellwood. We live in a postmodern culture, there's no facts anymore, everything is relative, apart from one, pure, universal truth, write it on a rock, shout it from the rooftops - Tobias Ellwood is a cunt! |

I would say Rooney is quite a good role model for kids. In times where kids are getting angrier, fatter, lazier and more violent, he is showing something different. Rooney worked hard to get where he is now despite all the modern distractions. The money and fame has also not changed him because he loves playing football anytime, anywhere. He remains down to earth and level headed as a person.
Thats why I think he sets a good example. |

Rooney is the type of footballer that England has failed to produce since players such as Gazza. I want more of that and i don't give a shit what sort of role model he is.

It's true.
When I saw Roy Keane swear, show great passion, skill, sacrafice, bravery, Honour, ect. It made me a crack addict that stabbed people on the streets. Definitely Rooneys fault for all the bad stuff in this world, not the parents. |

Dear Tobias, It has recently come to my attention that in a parliamentary debate about the threat of knife crime, you have stated that Wayne Rooney is a bad example to the young people of the United Kingdom. I am not usually the sort to write this kind of letter, but I cannot remain silent on this issue, which is one of considerable importance to me. My feelings about the matter can be summed up thusly: You're a cnut. Hope this helps. Sincerely, A. Unitedsupporter |

Whatever, a bad example yes BUT kids don't have to copy everything they see in their lives.To simply blame public figures for unruly behaviour of the young ones in our society kind of absolves the parents of the role they are supposed to play.

What a load of crap. In a society where young people are getting knifed to death all over the show and they have the audacity to say that Wayne Rooney is a bad example for young children because he swears!
 Young children hear these words from all sorts - parents, other kids at school. But yeah go ahead, blame it on Wayne Rooney  |

Athletes shouldn´t be role models anyway, and f parents did their job properly, young people wouldn´t look at athletes as role models. People like Rooney shouldn´t have to do their job for them.
