Does Van Gaal say something to Rooney about this?

On one hand, Rooney is a grown man and this was in private, on the other hand it's his captain and I can't imagine players are allowed to box in their spare time.
"Chin up, Wazza."

If it gets a player sent off and ultimately wins us the game then why not. Just like Rooneys amazing work rate that won us the game at Newcastle and not his sitter he missed in the first half.

I'd love to see him play well today, then I'd actually understand why people are praising him so much for a few so-so performances up front like he's messi.
That clearly hasn't happened though so you're getting all wound up about it for nothing.

Ahh Orton is getting precious again! Got to admire his continued persistence. Always on the thread (and any Rooney thread) spewing out the same bile no matter how Rooney plays.

How on earth do these videos get leaked? Surely everyone in that room knew each other and therefore knew how controversial this footage is. Unless Phil said 'PUT IT ON FACEBOOK!' whilst the unconscious Rooney was swallowing his tongue I can't see how this got out. If I was paying an athlete 300k a week to be at his best physically and to display that on the football pitch I would be livid tbh. Funny as feck though imo as Waynes personal life seems to have one feck up after another :lol:

Considering he's been praised so much since going up top and contributing 2 open play goals and not much more than the other 2 strikers then I think it's fair to say he's getting massively overrated again. Nice header against Arsenal but not so much praise for the creator of the goal with the most pin point cross of the season. Hope he does well obviously but it's weird seeing everyone rate his performances as brilliant just because Falcao isn't playing anymore, and also contradicting themselves saying he's better as a pure striker not getting involved in the build up yet still the heartbeat of the team? How does that one work

I expect that behaviour (organising a fight in the kitchen) from teenagers, but not from grown men (Rooney is a father).
If they wanted to practise their boxing skills, then they could've gone to a boxing gym, where they'd be taught properly to box and could've had a nice, long sparring session.
In the right environment, boxing is relatively safe.

And judging by Rooney going down to easily, he isn't cut out to fight, so should stay well away. I didnt think that a professional elite level athlete can go down so easily.

Can you imagine the furore which would've resulted if he hit his head and ended up in hospital.

Up top, we have had Falcao, RVP and Di Maria.
All these guys have been dire. Falcao shouldnt be playing in the EPL. RVP - something is wrong with this guy and I'm not quite sure what. And Di Maria ran around like a headless chicken in the 2 games he played as striker.
Rooney comes in and immediately starts scoring.

You can understand why we are praising Rooney so much. We are desperate for a striker who can actually score.
Most of us are sick and tired of non-scoring strikers.

He's off his rocker, it's kind of tragic really.
Yes, sorry I don't rate precious Wayne as our best player. Must be mental whilst all of you lot fail to see any flaw in his game. When was his last massive performance again? Certainly don't see him pulling us through many games these days.

Strawman. The most people have been saying he's played better than RVP or Falcao, which he has. No one's saying he's been brilliant or anything of the sort (though I do think he was very good in the 1st half vs Arsenal).

Strawman again. That's pretty much all you on this thread. Build up ridiculous arguments and then talk shite to justify your position.

And you must not read this thread very carefully if you think no one sees any flaws in his game. Rooney's game is analyzed more closesly than any other player on this forum which results in him getting ott stick from people like you.

Like I said, you're deranged and reading things that aren't there.

Wrong, people said he was brilliant against Arsenal, why's that? Because he scored? The praise he received compared to the stick other players receive after games is strange. He was useless against Sunderland till they went down to ten but obviously since he scored a penalty which changed the game he's the best striker we have, right? Falcao has been crap, I haven't said anything otherwise recently, but praising someones contribution for scoring penalties when downplaying other strikers for doing the same thing (Leicester game) is just hypocritical.

One chance one goal, the type of finishing we have been missing all season, the biggest problem is we hardly create any chances.
Has pretty much everything you could ask for in a centre forward when he's on his game. Frustrating that it's taken us until now to play him there consistently.
Was class today. Shame the rest did feck all in the second half. At least it looks like he'll finally get an extended run up front, hopefully until the end of the season. He's by far our best striker and is our best player when played as a striker.
He was in all the right places today and would have scored more if someone could just get a pass through to him. Keep him upfront even though as a midfielder he plays better than any of our midfielders did today.
Imagining things I guess.

Didn't Rooney box a bit when he was growing up?
All the dancing about and then they just stand there trading shots..

Can't believe people are actually annoyed by this :lol:

I said the other week when 3 or 4 of the Everton team were getting in Bardsley face that I would fancy him to have them all...

After watching it for several times it looks staged to me. He wasn't out at all he Cushing the fall with his arms and somewhat finds himself under the table. No one is panicking either..

Yep 4 posts, only one of which says he was class which he was in the first half vs Arsenal.

Don't embarrass yourself. If someone sat down to multiquote all your posts in this thread it'd make the readings of a man desperate to discredit anything Wayne Rooney does.

You are as bad if not worse than all the people you accuse of having an agenda.

What is he doing being friends with Phil Bardsley? If that's the kind of company he's keeping, no wonder his performances have declined over the last few years. Embarrassing for a Manchester United and England captain.

Or we lose and " another knockout blow for United and Rooney"

Best player, better than our midfielders in midfield, complete forward, using the whole we don't create chances excuse for him... You see, that is the same excuse that was used for RVP and Falcao. What happened to the complete forward who creates his own chances?

He's still scoring, which instantly puts him above Falcao and RvP.

:lol: I'm surprised how easily he went down. Not surprising he didn't have the common sense not to be fighting in the kitchen. Lucky he wasn't badly hurt.

Very surprised to see Rooney go down so easily. He looks like he could take more than that.

So dumb to be sparring in the kitchen though. If he properly hit his head on the way down, imagine the outcome.

A lot of you are getting bent out of shape about what @Orton says, but he's actually correct on quite a few points. There's a lot of hyperbole about his performances. RvP scored two against So'ton and did very little else and got slated for it. Rooney scored against Arse and did nothing else but the way he's spoken about, you'd think he dominated their defence.
