I don't particularly get this. Stick a camera in the face of an angry man during a moment where passion and tension is running high - what do you expect?
Rooney Charged: Faces Two Match Ban for cursing | Appeal lost
- Thread starter Doevle
- Start date
These absolute fecking muppets...
Unbelieveable.
Unbelieveable.
Bless him. Well if stories of you paying one prostitute to watch the other give you a blow job isn't going to embarrass your parents Wayne, I wouldn't be too concerned about saying 'feck' on the telly.
They'll warn him, nothing more.
Sensible thing to do to cover his back
that should end it.
but the ABUs wont though.

In terms of footie intelligence he's top notch. Who gives a shit about the rest?
This is fecking silly now, why not just ban passion from the game and have done with it.
The FA will compromise of course and just ban United from all future events, including two-for-one meal deals at Pizza Hut.

S'what I always say when people point to thick footballers.
If the media don't like to see/hear what players feel and say on the pitch, they shouldn't be putting cameras with microphones 3' from a player when he's on the pitch. feck off, media whiners.
there's nothing wrong with foul language. lads are saying feck and cnut since they were about 9. I'm not rooney's biggest fan but let the lad be.
Yes right because Munich, Hillsborough, Heysel, racist and homophobic chants and and the like aren't offensive enough to the viewer to warrant any kind of action, but Rooney dropping a few F bombs is?
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Apparently chanting at Ronaldo "you should have died in the tunnel" is less offensive to viewers than a swear word.
Call Collymore at 7.30 will be dedicated to the Rooney swearing incident.
F.A are going to look into it, isn't a fine the only possible outcome from that ?
He just summed up what we were all thinking.
Fair play to you, Roo.
Fair play to you, Roo.
Hehe. Always amusing when Public Relations gimps put words in footballers mouths. As if Rooney came out with all that.
Are they serious?It's just a bit of passion on display, admittedly using the wrong choice of words down the camera. He's apologised for it so any punishment is likely to be very minor unless the ABU brigade don't let this die. Give him a warning letter reminding him of his responsibilities and that should be the end of it.
Unfortunately the ABU's will have a field day over that.
Collymore banging the drum.
Well it wasn't the same thing was it, Drogba was having a go at the ref
606 are dampening the sponge ready for Rooney's seat in the chair.
And this isn't the UEFA
There's a wonderful irony in what Stan saying. 'Why does he need people to watch him doing that?'
Same question to you, Stan.
Same question to you, Stan.
Has anyone that supports a mid-lower Premiership club used the phrase "one rule for them and one for the rest of us" yet?
I love that.
I love that.
It was the same in that both games were played on grass.
#19 is going to be oh so sweet.
It certainly is...I want this more than the CL!
Why the need to go dogging stan? Why?
606
Christ you'd think Rooney lined up the West Ham defense and executed them one by one before burning down Upton Park the way the press is carrying on
didn't realise the British were this uptight about swearing? listening to the talksport discussion and I feel like an alien... we don't want to hear footballers swear into the camera? I've lost me head after scoring, but why the need to swear?
Jaysus... why not ask the other question: why is swearing such a no-no, especially if it's not directed at anybody or conveying anything despicable?
they're just looking for a talking point, I assume.
To be fair Talksport and basically WUMs.
I expect better from the BBC though

The way Stan Collymore was talking you'd think Rooney grabbed the camera from the cameraman or had called a press conference to start swearing at the world, rather than the cameraman shoving it into his face.I didnt think any of it at the time, and still dont. I was surprised that this has been one of the main talking points of the game, but am not surprised that now that it is being made a big deal of the media want to ban Rooney.
Stan Collymore taking the moral high ground is quite surreal.
Just nipped out and had 606 on in the car, I hope Savage twists his ankle climbing down on that high horse. Unbelievable.
Why, when it's Rooney, is it always polemic?
Oh do feck off making it an issue of nationality
didn't realise the British were this uptight about swearing?.
Does he have 'previous'? Because that seems unusually sensitive.Oh do feck off making it an issue of nationality
It is the British media who are telling us that it is unacceptable in 'our' (ie British) society... and British people who are commenting in a 'holier than thou' manner in and to the media.
