Caf Nostradamus
Now I know you're on a WUM.Okay, he ran to the camera, eitherway he talked into it.
I just hope you get the timeout from here your behaviour deserves.

So why wasn't it an issue when he did it while playing for England?Because it wasn't purposeful to a television audience, when it is done direct to camera, for the purpose of talking to the television audience then it becomes an issue for the regulators.
Nah pal, I agree with you! I was just throwing that out there.If you're referring to my post, I think you'll find that we actually agree. But, at least from my subjective point of view, as a United fan, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone else who's been more affected by this in a negative way.
Is he seriously in his early 20s?No great surprise our resident 20 going on 60 year old has an incredibly conservative stance on bad language.
Do me a favour. Who exactly has he offended? Who exactly has complained other than the press and their rent-a-quote nobodies like Poll?Yes actually it is because a footballer during a game brought English football into disrepute, this is exactly what they're supposed to do.
Just as pathetic as you claiming SAF influenced an FA decision regarding the selection of a referee.I thought they should have fined him and warned him about future conduct. The ban seems harsh, but the conspiracy theories mooted on the Caf are a bit pathetic.
I don't care what others countries do, it is up to them.Do me a favour. Who exactly has he offended? Who exactly has complained other than the press and their rent-a-quote nobodies like Poll?
What about foreign governing bodies? The word "puta" is often uttered clearly in front of camaras/at opponents/spectators yet nothing is about it. Meanwhile, we are busy banning people for not using the Queen's English in unplanned, intrusive situations.
The difference being that I admitted I was talking rubbish in the end, something which won't be replicated by many others.Just as pathetic as you claiming SAF influenced an FA decision regarding the selection of a referee.
Your asking him to change his personality. Can you change yours? Especially in the cauldron of a high-pressure situation.I have no sympathy for Rooney
Time and time again he fails to control his temper
He's got previous for swearing at refs, lashing out at opponents, punching corner flags when he gets sent off and spiteful tackles
Isn't it about time he learnt not to behave like a lout?
The punishment hasn't been meted out yet.I thought they should have fined him and warned him about future conduct. The ban seems harsh, but the conspiracy theories mooted on the Caf are a bit pathetic.
Yeah, but he was born on February 29, so he's actually 93.Is he seriously in his early 20s?
Some people are genuinely offended by swearing. However ridiculous it may be, it's still banned on television before 9pm for a reason."offended"
Drama queens ....
You really are something else.After some time (and many pages) you admit talking rubbish yet you're condemning others of pathetic posting without giving them time to cool offThe difference being that I admitted I was talking rubbish in the end, something which won't be replicated by many others.
People are not asking for him to change his personality, they're want him to accept a level of decency. People talk about John Terry being an example of a bad mannered, arrogant, classless individual though he has nothing on Rooney in that respect, hence Rooney does this and no one else.Your asking him to change his personality. Can you change yours?
His posts do reek of senility...Yeah, but he was born on February 29, so he's actually 93.
Fair enough, we'll re-visit this in a week or so and see how many have backed down.You really are something else.After some time (and many pages) you admit talking rubbish yet you're condemning others of pathetic posting without giving them time to cool off
Drogba.People are not asking for him to change his personality, they're want him to accept a level of decency. People talk about John Terry being an example of a bad mannered, arrogant, classless individual though he has nothing on Rooney in that respect, hence Rooney does this and no one else.
Hey listen, I live with people who see swearing as the embodiment of all evil yet even they couldn't give a bum fluff about it. You'd need to be one heck of a sensative soul to take offence to it.. It comes with the territory when you broadcast in the manner Sky do, they know that but still took the P*** trying to get their usual more than they bargained for.I don't care what others countries do, it is up to them.
I know of people who were offended, millions of people out there don't swear, don't like to swear, and don't expect to hear it. I am sure some of them were watching, as I say I am not particularly bothered when someone does in my presence though I make a purposeful point not to do so.
I'd say there's a 95% chance of him cutting down the swearing after this.I have no sympathy for Rooney
Time and time again he fails to control his temper

At least Rooney hasn't fecked his "best" friend's ex (so far).People are not asking for him to change his personality, they're want him to accept a level of decency. People talk about John Terry being an example of a bad mannered, arrogant, classless individual though he has nothing on Rooney in that respect, hence Rooney does this and no one else.
Drogba is not so indifferent to the likes of a Scholes or a Keown on the pitch - yes he goes down very easily which the other two don't though they have a tendency to get dirty. Though like them he is very quiet of the pitch, well spoken and keeps his head down doing his bit for good causes. Rooney on the otherhand is just a lout on and off the pitch.Drogba.
Cheating on your wide which is the relevant part of the equation is as bad as in any other case.At least Rooney hasn't fecked his "best" friend's ex (so far).
Drogba swore directly into the camera. Something that you said Rooney does exclusively. I am certain you were positively fuming at the indecency of it all.Drogba is not so indifferent to the likes of a Scholes or a Keown on the pitch - yes he goes down very easily which the other two don't though they have a tendency to get dirty.

I am not asking him to change his personality but merely to control his temper like any grown up learns to doYour asking him to change his personality. Can you change yours? Especially in the cauldron of a high-pressure situation.
But that is his personality. Terry has a different one and he will never change from what he is either.People are not asking for him to change his personality, they're want him to accept a level of decency.

As I have said a couple of times I am not overtly concerned though this remains an isolated incident without directly related precedent hence sky should take much blame. Just about every footballer who has scored a goal in the top flight in the last twenty years has had a camera thrust at them though swear right at them is something footballers haven't really done before.Hey listen, I live with people who see swearing as the embodiment of all evil yet even they couldn't give a bum fluff about it.

It's bad alright but to do it with your friend's missus is even worse.It can't even be up for debateCheating on your wide which is the relevant part of the equation is as bad as in any other case.
Friend's girlfriend yes, friend's one time girlfriend, since separated, no.It's bad alright but to do it with your friend's missus is even worse.It can't even be up for debate
He not only swore directly into the camera, he openly criticised the referee. A stickler for discipline and respect for authority like TBGB must have been cut to the very quick.Drogba swore directly into the camera. Something that you said Rooney does exclusively. I am certain you were positively fuming at the indecency of it all.
I don't know many grown-ups who have learnt to control their temper. I travel on the London underground all the time and I see both kids and pensioners swear blind on a regular occasion. And they're not in a high-pressure situation.I am not asking him to change his personality but merely to control his temper like any grown up learns to do
Really? And how do you know what Rooney's off the pitch, exactly. Is he a mate of yours?Drogba is not so indifferent to the likes of a Scholes or a Keown on the pitch - yes he goes down very easily which the other two don't though they have a tendency to get dirty. Though like them he is very quiet of the pitch, well spoken and keeps his head down doing his bit for good causes. Rooney on the otherhand is just a lout on and off the pitch.
Yes he is, though he has to face any consequences that comes his way for doing so. As I've said, it was precisely that which caught the interest of the FA.But that is his personality. Terry has a different one and he will never change from what he is either.
You thing United staff haven't tried to influence him? He is what he is. You see other players swear all the time. Rooney's did it to the camera. It was that blunt, to-your-face that seems to be upsetting the media hence the FA.
No, just a granny and some young prostitutes - the latter when Coleen was pregnantAt least Rooney hasn't fecked his "best" friend's ex (so far).
