From the FA: Wayne Rooney will be imprisoned in the Tower of London before being hanged, drawn, and quartered. His remains will be sent to football grounds around England to remind players that they shouldn't partake in such treasonous behavior or language.

Bet the FA and papers would love a ban for the City cup tie!!!! Hope the FA don't bow down to media pressure, however, Rooney was in the wrong because he looked down the camera and said it to viewers. Just hope we get away with it, a fine or something.

I just showed the clip to my wife (who doesn't like football or the 'Overpaid wankers' that play on tv). Her response...

'THAT is what all the fuss is about? They're mad!'

Would be good that, similar to Gascoigne at Euro '96 v Scotland when all the players like Sherringham sprayed the water bottle in his mouth in answer to the papers about his night out.

This is so ridiculous...

The fact that they are even considering punishing him is beyond ludicrous.

Why is it, he looked down the camera and swore at viewers, its hardly the same as just swearing on the pitch. He was in the wrong here and we need to except that, although as with the elbow, I don't agree with the over reactions.

What punishment did Drogba get from UEFA for the "its a f*cking disgrace" comment v Barca?

It's weird. Where do you draw the line. Pathetic.

I just refuse to believe this is true.

PS, you yet don't believe in conspiracy theories?!

So it genuinely seems the trick is not to look at the camera while you're swearing?

That's genuinely astonishing.

That doesn't make much sense but there is no conspiracy, he was an idiot but the ban will be overturned and he'll end up with a fine on appeal.

I'm about to burst from fury right now. If he ends up facing a ban, it's the biggest fecking travesty I've ever witnessed in the history of football.

What, fecking what?

He should just fecking retire from England. Stick two fingers up at the FA. To which they'll charge him for, of course.
