Rooney banned for two games
« Reply #10 on: April 04, 2011, 20:04:39 PM »
As a CHAP - Council House And Proud - I cannot find any endearing qualities in Rooney at all.  His latest outburst of swearing is nothing new. You don't have to be much of a lip reader to see what comes out of his foul mouth in every game.  It is alway particularly forceful when he directs against the referee, which also appears to happen every game.  He is the worst kind of role model for kids and adults alike playing the great game.

Besides which i have never forgiven him for not only his p!ss poor performance in the last World Cup, but also his insulting behaviour to the England supporters at the match, and those at home.

And what he get from this is not a two match ban, but another two match 'break', to add to the international 'break' he is getting in June, which are all of course to added to the breaks he has already had from the game in the last yearr in Camp Nike, Bahrain and Cheshire.[:(!]

That''s better rant over :)

I agree with Jacqui, Rooney deserves all he gets. I also agree that Tinkermans comments are very offensive. I lived in a council house and many of my friends did as well. Most people of my age did.[:(!]

Not yet banned but it's looking good! I hope when his appeal is thrown out he gets an extra game ban. Foul mouthed thug.

Talking about bans - have a look at this in real time and tell me if you were the linesman and saw this (34min.22secs) that you wouldn't have sent the guy off. So many Forest fans saying it wasn't a dangerous challenge but I think the linesman got it spot on. I played football to a reasonable standard and if I'd seen that one coming I would have been worried for my legs.

No question - wreckless and highly dangerous tackle which warranted a red card.

As I thought at the time, this isn't a bad tackle but will always result in a red card these days.

Horrible potentially career ending tackle, so the red is well deserved.

But isn't it strange that no careers were ended (that I recall) in the days of Norman Hunter and Chopper Harris?

I sincerely hope that children in Sunday matches in the parks of Britain do not attempt to tackle in the manner which Chris Cohen did.

This one did Scunner:

http://www.mightyleeds.co.uk/players/collins5.htm


""We had been hanging on to our aggregate lead when Italian full-back Poletti scythed me down with a terrible challenge. The pain was agonising and I knew immediately that my leg was badly broken."

Jack Charlton: "I remember it very vividly - Bobby was lying there, the referee wanted to move him off the park, and the Turin players were trying to bundle him off. I wouldn't let them move him; I knew that if Bobby Collins wouldn't get up, he must have something broken. I stood over him, whacking one Italian and punching another to keep them back, until eventually the referee realised that Bobby must be seriously hurt and called for a stretcher.""
