Ireland vs England, June 7th 2015 (International Friendly)

[RonaldoVII]

What the hell was that Rooney?

 

[Hed Zitin]

Is he drunk today?

 

[Randall Flagg]

Nice first touch from Rooney

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Rooney offside, but that first touch.

 

[clarkydaz]

wayne

 

[Ballache]

Great first touch Wayne

 

[Jayvin]

Rooney lol

 

[Adam-Utd]

Wow..

 

[Walrus]

Rooney

 

[Amethyst]

Rooney That was appalling.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Rooney's first touch.

 

[Tommy]

The England squad really is awful now. Rooney is the only player even remotely close to being world class.

 

[Raven Blade]

What has happened to Rooney's touch these days? His sharpness in front of goal is really poor.

 

[clarkydaz]

Wow..

indeed!

300k

 

[Drifter]

Oh dear Rooney.

 

[GlastonSpur]

Kane would have buried that chance.

 

[clarkydaz]

midfield next season again please

 

[Lay]

He plays in slow motion these days.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

That was one of the worst first touches I've ever seen

 

[BUGGS]

Rooney really is past it and has been for some time.

 

[SteveJ]

Wake up, LVG.

 

[jeff_goldblum]

The build up to this as been very low key in the media.

Haha dunno if you're being sarcastic but I'd literally not seen anything about it, granted I've been in something of a work bubble recenntly

Put it this way: if your nan comes 'round with albums full of holiday snaps, hug her and turn the telly off immediately.

I'm considering calling to invite her and it's only been 5 minutes

 

[DomesticTadpole]

midfield next season again please

Bench please.

 

[Adam-Utd]

I cannot understand how a player of his ability can fall apart in a matter of weeks. Surely the majority of pros can take a few weeks off and not suffer having a first touch of a pub player, it's absolutely pathetic.

 

[Glory Glory Denis Irwin]

Are we sure we haven't picked his brother John upfront today? My god!

 

[El Zoido]

Rooney has been living off his reputation for years now. That touch was just shocking. Pub standard.

 

[arthurka]

That isn't anything to do with the river; that's the game.

Hahahaha

sadly its nothing new

 

[Ballache]

Sterling

 

[Jippy]

Sterling aiming for the corner flag.

 

[clarkydaz]

rooney gifs will be popular today

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Ireland can win this. England are woeful.

 

[Kostur]

He's always had shit first touch, anybody got gif of the incident though?

 

[Glory Glory Denis Irwin]

What channel is the tennis final on?

He's been the footballing equivalent of an old diesel engine on a cold day for years and years. You have to keep it running for a while before you can drive it.

It's why he's been crap internationally for years. He doesn't have the games to get a rhythm going.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What channel is the tennis final on?

ITV4 then switching to ITV1 after the football finished.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

First of my subs on then... Jon Walters will prob be up for this because he always is

 

[RonaldoVII]

Good position for a free kick

 

[jeff_goldblum]

I'd probably have given that the other way personally, Sterling made no effort to win the ball.
