Nice to see an oppo fan actually bothered by the Rooney situation and not just laughing from afar (not saying you can't laugh too, I wouldn't blame you!).
Hold up that can't be right, the Sun says he does drink so it must be true. Not only does he drink he was up until 5am drinking. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour for a top athlete, i wonder if he stumbled into a piano also.

While unlikely i suppose it's possible that ex-professionals are defending him because they've been wined and dined. But it's much more likely that they are just defending him out of A, loyalty or B, because it's a story thats been blown out of all proportion at this stage.Mate I'm 100% certain that it's true! At £300k/w minimum and Coleen always looking to launch a new perfume now and then, you can be sure that Coleen's Xmas party is not one to be missed.
Guests include Carragher, The Neville brothers, Owen Hargreaves, Ian Wright, Danny Murphy, Trevor Sinclair and a host of ex Liverpool pundits including Redknapp Jnr.
Notable absentees include Stan Collymore Paul Parker and every other sensible person in football and the CAF.
In the spirit of generosity, the Rooney PR team scout internet forums to pick the best fanboys of Wine Looney FC. And I repeat, at least 3 on here have tickets!
Totally agree . It shouldn`t be a worry to us anyway cos it appears Jose is dealing with it . He didn`t start him against Arsenal even though Zlatan was suspended and he isn`t dropping midfielders to squeeze him into the line up as has happened in the past .
It would be unprofessional if I turn up and is not in a good condition to contribute. it's even worse if I'm supposed to be the leader of the team.
They have an obvious grudge with Rooney and seem intent on smearing his name. It's such a shame that so many posters on this forum have continually used baseless stories and speculation from this disgrace of a paper to start threads about him over the last few months.
It's obviously the "old boys brigade" syndrome that plagues the sport. There is loyalty but in England it's just blindness. You just have to see how the pundits defend their former clubs like dummies, and defend their former team mates. Gary Neville was respected because he spoke some truths against United and was unbiased in his views in his first year, now he's just joined the bunch of pals again. What we need are pundits that played in the lower leagues not ones that have some loyalty to prove. Take a look at how often Mata was criticised while Rooney had been getting a free ride in recent seasons. What we need are more unbiased pundits like Collymore. And I respect him for what he said in an interview last week "just because they are ex players, it doesn't make them much better than fans who watch their teams week in week out"
This is just a petty and pointless post. It part of the game that all papers use to sell stories. It's nothing to do with a grudge. Rooney made her famous and she will be dumb not to use it to her advantage.
It's like brexit and trump. What sane person thinks as normal isn't actually normal by the majority.
Its human nature to defend friends/ex team mates, it doesn't bother me. Mostly because i just ignore all that nonsense, i don't watch pre-match, half-time or post-match 'analysis' from pundits. And i don't read papers. You should try it.
I can't imagine theres any situation where Stan Collymore is needed. Unless someone is required for a slapathon to raise money for charity or something.
Who knows, weird things happen in the world everyday.While unlikely i suppose it's possible that ex-professionals are defending him because they've been wined and dined. But it's much more likely that they are just defending him out of A, loyalty or B, because it's a story thats been blown out of all proportion at this stage.
As for the bolded bit, hopefully you are joking but if you get to the point where you actually believe Rooney is paying internet forum members to defend him. Then it's probably time to take a break mate
Nah Wayne's too cheap to pay anyone on here, thats why when most of the England squad went out to nightclubs last week he stayed in the Hotel to blag free drinks at a wedding.
We just need more ex-football pundits who agree with our armchair opinions! I don't want some ex-professional using the benefit of their experience and throwing out opinions that don't match my own... who do they think they are?Just reading this. Did I just read we need more of Stan collymore?
I dont believe for a second if any paper or media outlet said anything that wasnt true that Rooney wouldnt be suing the shit out of them, where theres blame theres a claim you know
Yeah I have noticed this too. When Rio critiscized Rooney that was immediately accepted by many with 'Rio is a former player who knows not to drink' but when Gary Neville didn't, he is obviously supporting Rooney because of his friendship and some party nonsense.
Yeah calling for ''honesty'' from someone like Stan Collymore could be a sign that Rooney bashing is peaking.Just reading this. Did I just read we need more of Stan collymore?
The fact "The Sun" is a scumbag of a paper, and has the integrity of a typical politician isnt in question.
I've many times admitted he's not good enough to start for us anymore. I was happy with him being dropped because he was deservedly dropped and at the same time he's deserved his minutes off late because he's been more than decent in games vs Fener and Swansea. He's contributing more than the likes of Rashford and Martial at this moment and if he does get picked to play some minutes, it's deserved right now. And honestly, I will never understand the Caf obsession with how much Rooney makes. You can discuss his performances and that's fair but this constant ridiculous bringing up of his salary over the last 3-4 years makes no sense. We have a lot of players at this club who don't deserve whatever they earn and yet it's only Rooney and his apparent 300k that get thrown about every week.
Even I am beginning to feel a bit sorry for him. He stayed in the hotel, it now appears he didn't go into the wedding, the wedding came out to him. There was no curfew, some went out to a nightclub and two to a strip club and he has been hammered for what he did. I am beginning to think the media is circling on us as a club, not just Wayne. They are kicking Jose at every opportunity and there will be other targets.
He's a grown up with a 5yo kid. Nobody put a gun in his head and force him to drink, let alone in public.
Just because he has kids and is well known doesn't mean he's not allowed to enjoy himself in public in his private time. He had a few drinks so fecking what? Thats something lots of adults enjoy doing regularly including those with kids.
He is wrong, his conduct is unbecoming of a professional, let alone a footballer and a top athlete.
It isn't great, but we don't know if some of the ones who went to the nightclub were wrecked as well, but Wayne is newsworthy, so they get away with it.
Horseshit mate, you are basing your whole opinion on an article from the fecking Sun.
Ive said it before and Ill say it again, whilst it has been blown out of proportion, I dont believe for a second if the sun had said anything untrue that his scumbag agent wouldn't be seeking damages, any chance that cnut has to make a few extra quid he would take. (Stretford, not Rooney in this case)
It's a shit tabloid but the picture isn't photoshopped.
The Sun print so much bullshit and they have done it for so many years. Resulting in them getting sued so many times that they no doubt run these stories by a legal team to carefully word things and attribute quotes/details to third parties so as to minimize potential lawsuits.
Which picture?
