Rooney Yesterday

[forgotten_child]

Haven't posted in a while but Wayne Rooney's attitude yesterday angered me. His language and general attitude is shocking. I was watching the game with my Children and constantly you could see him swearing towards the ref and tottenham players to the point my 10 year old daughter was picking up on it and pointing it out to me. I'm not a prude and swear probably more than most but never around my children and try and keep them away from it as much as possible.
I know it is inevitable in the world of football, but it is a family game and these are people who are ment to set an example to kids. Players like Lineker, Beckham etc went about the game properly so why can't todays generation
I'm still of the opinion that football should adapt the rules of rugby and only the captain to speak to the ref, It works I was sent off for abusing a ref during a game of rugby and for the rest of my playing days never did it again.

Not sure what that says about families who follow football!

The FA's respect campaign faces an uphill struggle, if not bewildered incomprehension, from those at whom it is aimed.

I agree with what your saying completely. although lineker did shit himself in the middle of a game.

You raise a good point IMO. Having come up through the ranks playing Rugby all my life, I still cant believe how much these footballers get away with. Referees should start flinging cards at any abuse - it will certainly go a long way to sorting it out..

 

[yiddo_4eva]

The attitude of Rafeal (sp) when given the red was appalling as well. Having seen the replay im honest enough to admit that it was a harsh yellow but him clearly shouting 'F##k off' at the ref, wving his arms about and getting in his face as he did, potentially shows the start of having a similar attitude 'problem' as Rooney does....

I played Rugby for many years and it's just an attitude thing. You're taught from day one that even questioning a decision is not allowed never mind swearing at the ref.

Question a decision and you’re made retreat 10 yards. Do that a couple of times and your own team will sort you out.

Rooney called the ref a f***ing w**ker yesterday shortly after been booked for dissent and should have been sent off there and then.

If you think the professionals are shocking you should go watch some schoolboy stuff where you have parents at it too!!

Try and sort out the kids and they will quite rightly point at the professional players and say "but they do it". It has to start at the top.

 

[striebs]

On MOTD 2 they analysed the contribution made by Raphael before his sending off .

They made allowances for him being very young but pointed out that he had to i) cut out trying to get the ref to brandish cards and ii) stop verbally abusing the ref .

What chance is there of that happening when he sees the most senior players at his club , Rooney , Ferdinand and Giggs doing it every game at the encouragement of their manager ?

 

[Benspur]

Vidic went absolutely mental at the Linesman right in front of me in the second half. The Lino just shouted at him to 'go away' but he should have signalled to the Ref to book him for foul and abusive language!

 

[Winchy85]

Our players do the same, it's part of football.

 

[DJS]

I saw Rooney clearly called the ref a fucking wanker and I was appalled.

Although I really shouldn't do as he's clearly scum.

The comment above about the parents explains it all really, poor behaviour is deeply rooted in today's society.

For me, it isn't about how much money a family has or how expensive their home / (car(s) are, it's about their attitude and principles that for me shows whether a families are respectable or a bunch or potty-mouthed dregs.

 

[Leachie]

In fairness it is not just Rooney but most of the United team as well as Chelsea, Arse etc. If you watch other teams in the league you will also see abuse for refs and linesmen at most levels.

I agree that football should adopt some rugby rules but it won't happen with weak and corrupt FAs.

 

[Shell]

He's a spoilt little troll who is spitting his dummy out cus the time he scores now is with tarts.

He mad me so angry with his attitude , should loose his sponsorships - f'kin mug

I blame the manager yes "Sir Alex". Managers like him pamper these players and let them get away with it by trying to mitigate their behaviour like saying things like "Stop him from swearing and it takes the aggression from his game" Bollocks! Love him or hate him but the late Brian Clough (RIP) would not put up with this from his players.

 

[Bulletspur]

Our players do the same, it's part of football.

And that makes it right? What a pathetic and narrow minded statement to make.

He wouldn't be getting booked for it, it's a red card. Maybe if more Refs got a hold of it, it would stop it.

Swearing in general i don't think is the problem, directing it straight at the officials should be dealt with.

 

[There's always next year]

He's a thick, uneducated Chav, who can only articulate through gutter language and aggression.

He was also a pile of shite yesterday, which made me chuckle.

I've been ranting about that and no-one else seemed bothered...I thought there was a directive that players doing this were to be cautioned, and yet not only did he do it, but he got Wilson booked for what ws not a bad challenge, in the first place, and in the second, even if it was, the ref couldn't see it, so went on Rat-Boy's actions.

As for Rooney...Yes, FC, I've also been ranting about that. I thought use of foul and abusive langauge was also a mandatory caution. Now, I can understand if a ref has a quiet word, especially early on, and especially if it's just calling someone a 'twat' or something. But Rooney does this constantly, and directly at the officials.

Yesterday, even after being booked for it once, he still continued, and, yes, the one that stuck in my mind was where he was by the touchline and he called Dean a "FCUKing W*nker" - it was so clear that there is no way Dean could have missed it, so why wasn't he booked - and, hence, sent off:shrug:

It is right...aside form the parental thing, Red Nose is ultimately to blame. One of the things I keep on saying is the way, when their record was not that much better than ours, he used every single opportunity to state on TV and print that 'United are the biggest club in the World' until his players, the press, and a whole slew of others actually just accept it as doctrine now. Another was with Paul Scholes...he would laugh and say "we all know Paul Scholes can't tackle", and so for almost his whole career Scholes gets away with 4 or 5 yellow card offences per game, because the refs have been subtley influenced. And again, with Rooney, immediately after buying him, Red Nose states that he is a foul mouthed and abusive little muppet, but it is just his 'passion' and if you take it out of his game he won't be half the player, and lo and behold, he gets away with calling officals and anyone else who gets in the way all the effing Bs & Cs under the sun every single game.

p.s. How are ye, FC, long time no 'see'.

 

[$hoguN]

It all goes back to how people are brought up, if I was to swear at a ref when playing rugby/football my mum or dad would have hit me there and then and made me apologise. Unfortunately most parents are not like that.

As a big rugby union and cricket fan as well as football i'm always staggered by the shit football referees take. I would just send anyone who swore at me off if I was in their position and let the managers complain to the FA about me.

I was absolutely irrate that he did not get booked and sent off for asking for another player to be booked. In all fairness to Rio he did go tell him off about it
