Royal Rother His best days are behind him and he is inexorably heading towards Gascoigne territory. Expect the injuries and absences to start getting more frequent now.
It'll be interesting to see whether Fergie gives him one more year or cashes in this summer. He would probably still command a £45m fee and Man Utd could do plenty with that I'm sure.

Royal Rother He would probably benefit by getting away from the spotlight in the UK so a move to Italy or Spain might be good, except I'd imagine the chances of him embracing the culture and learning the language range from infinitesimally small to non-existent.

Super_horns Off topic but would there be a different reaction to this story had the 2 sportspeople invovled been footballers?

Hoop BlahRoyal Rother I could just about accept it if he was shouting "Fcuking get in there, fcuk yeah!!!!!" with joy on his face, but he wasn't - he was snarling a message of hatred / abuse at someone, something. That cannot be allowed to go unpunished because it really does set a terrible example.
I agree there is a difference, but not sure where you can draw a line to define and consistently punish such offences.
I think Fergie and the powers that be at United need to address the issues causing Rooneys outburst and his up and down form this season. I think that's a bigger worry really.
I still wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney leave in the summer.

paultheroyalwho are ya?paultheroyal Nobody, but nobody should defend Rooney over this.
Camera pitchside or not. He took it on himself to move to the camera, gesticulate to the camera and then shout obscenities at the camera. Sadly as always his brain never clicks in time and just shows what a vile individual this man is. Great footballer, no human brain. Book will be thrown at him.
Absolute cock. I think it's great, fair play to him, if his actions upset you then you are a top cnut.
LOL

I also heard on the radio the suggestion that Fergie needs to sit down and talk to him.
This is the same Fergie who will not talk to the BBC,the same Fergie who disses referees and the same Fergie currently serving a touchline ban for his poor behaviour.
A chavvy club
A chavvy managar
A chavvy player.
Two other points:-
Drogba got a 6-match ban so Shrek should get something similar.
Sky coughs up much of the money earned by Rooney & Co and therefore are almost in the role of employer.
They sack 2 long-serving employees for casual sexist remarks off-air and not heard by the general public,will they do anything about their (almost)employee swearing into their camera?
The guy has previous from the world cup (unlike Drogba) so he really should get a ban but I expect a fine which presumably just goes into the coffers of the FA when at least it could fund some anger management classes in Manchester.

TheMaraudingDog Because Drogba also confronted the referee, jabbed his finger at his face, shouted abuse and, finally, had to be restrained by security guards and team-mates as the referee walked down the tunnel.
Uefa banned him for four matches but although Drogba’s piece de resistance was his rant into the camera, he was banned for his behaviour towards the referee.

Svlad Cjelli The bottom line is that Rooney has upset the people who really hold the power in the Premier League - Sky TV.
