RAWK material, Rooney deliberate swore live on UK television to the camera before 8pm which is against broadcasting laws hence the FA are bringing it forward.
It would have been as it will be done on the grounds of breaking Ofcom rules which has its mandate from Parliament to uphold decency on the airwaves.
Sorry, I didn't realise the FA had been appointed chief regulator of broadcasting laws.
In anycase, Sky are required to have a three second delay on the broadcast, and in reality usually have closer to a minute if not more (it was actually closer to three minutes at the Chelsea vs City game only a week back). So in effect they chose not to censor it, and for all you, I or anyone else knows, players might be doing the exact same thing every week.
The BBC then deliberately chose to show it again eight hours after it occured, during a highlights package, only to then condemn and apologise for it being inappropriate on the very same program.
I take it the FA will be using their new found OFCOM powers to come down even harder on both organisations...as well as identifying and banning every person in the crowd involved in deliberately singing audible inappropriate language during the game?
