Rooney couldn't give a damn

So it should be 3, it was 'intent' :doh .... if it was another player who done that to Rooney we'd want him banned for 3 matches as well.

Look on the brightside, he'll be back in the team ready for the German match in the semi's so he can miss the penalty that knocks us out :laugher:

I couldn't care less for football, but all I am hearing on the radio today is that Rooney is the best player England have!! :crazy: He is supposed to be a role model????? IF he was so good, he wouldn't play like a hooded thug down a dark ally. He would play with respect and not lower his standards to that of a piece of crap on the bottom of my shoe. I cant stand the way everyone pussy foots around these premadonas, so what if he is out for a few games, keep the idiot out for the whole tournement. If he hasn't learnt from his past stupidity he shouldn't still be in this false 'idolised' position.

I dont like footbal..... anyone notice that. Rooney can :xxangry-smiley-009::voodoo::UpYurs::NEW4::behead::NEW3:

Even as a Man Utd fan, I think he deserves a 3 match ban. When he's on form he is a great player and scores some fantastic goals, but he has a long history of behaving like a complete dick and can't seem to learn his lesson. At least Beckham learned from his mistake and went on to become one of Englands greatest players after his infamous 1998 leg tap on Diego Simeone
