What I don't get is how he get knocked out clean by a otherwise fairly harmless jab? Glass chin.
I don't know if you ever boxed or practiced martial arts but you can't judge a jab on video, and you can knocked out someone who doesn't have a good chin with a jab or a check. Bardsley could also be a heavy striker.

Are people actually outraged? Seriously? Wow.
Outraged isn't the right emotion.

I am sat here thinking they're both utter tits though.

Look at the way he fell - could've been quite nasty had his head collided with a granite work surface, or something of that ilk.

They're just silly feckers with too much time on their hands. Rooney and Bardsley are both nearly 30, and yet they're sparring in the kitchen. :lol:

I'm shocked personally, I'm fine with the fight but doing it in the kitchen is very dangerous, they should have done that in the garden.

He went down like he had been hit by a Shawn Michael superkick. 10/10 for the sell.

Very surprised at the comical nature of the reactions in here.

Rooney's head was extremely close to hitting that wooden furniture above his unconscious head.

Thus very well could have ended fatally. He's more dumb than I thought. Pity he's such a good footballer.

I'm trying to work out how that friendship has come about.

Does Van Gaal say something to Rooney about this?

On one hand, Rooney is a grown man and this was in private, on the other hand it's his captain and I can't imagine players are allowed to box in their spare time.

Campbell refused to shake Rooney's hand during the Pizzagate game and then Rooney knocked him out in the tunnel, reportedly.
I've never heard of that before - surely can't be true? Sol's a mountain of a man, there's not a chance Rooney could take him out, and then for that information to never get out.

Edit - googling 'Rooney knocks out Sol Campbell' and this thread is the third and fourth link. :lol:

:lol: I've never heard that one before.
One time I was playing Pro Evo with a friend, United vs Arsenal, I'm defending and lose the ball in my penalty area, I lunge with a defender and rip the arsenal player in half. It goes to the cut scene of the referee running up to show the red card and award a penalty, but he keeps on running...and running some more...until he passes the half-way line, reaches the other side of the pitch where Sol Campbell, standing in his own area, is given a red card! My friend exploded in rage, it was the most ridiculous and impossible decision to give, he was the second furthest player on the pitch from the tackle, and in the replay you can see him just standing completely still while the tackle happened. Anyway I won the game, Campbell got sent off and now I don't discount any story with Sol Campbell, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Let's hope he puts in a top performance today then after his world class return to the centre forward position with 4 goals (2 pens) in 5 games. Tottenham will be quaking in their boots at the thought.

Maybe Rooney is part Saiyan and getting his ass kicked makes him stronger.

Agree. Can't wait till half time when Falcao is doing his warm ups on the pitch so we can see if he can do one of his touches again. Breathtaking stuff.

No, let's hope he plays really badly and we lose, just so you can feel personally vindicated in your bizarre campaign of bile and hatred towards the man.

Because that's what's important here.

If it gets a player sent off and ultimately wins us the game then why not. Just like Rooneys amazing work rate that won us the game at Newcastle and not his sitter he missed in the first half.

I'd love to see him play well today, then I'd actually understand why people are praising him so much for a few so-so performances up front like he's messi.
