Rooney swearing after penalty

United have accepted the charge but are appealing against the two match ban. He'll probably miss the Newcastle game too then... makes decision to play Rooney alone in both legs of CL QF a lot easier.
 
One of the FA's top guys was heavily involved with Man City apparently, a former Man City chairman?

So expect a 2 match ban because it puts Rooney out of the FA Cup semi versus that mob.
 
Tonight apparently... stupid time. Bet it'll be announced just before the game.
 
The two match ban has been upheld by the FA. Disappointing news with Rooney hitting top form. Good news is, he'll be fresh for our European conquest. We've got 3 strikers who are doing very well this season, Berba hasn't played much recently, but he's fresh and he scored a winner the other week off the bench which is a rare sight. We've also got Owen who's fresh. Disappointing not to have Rooney for the City game but we have very able strikers to replace him.
 
Owen definitely back? Saw him twittering a few days back about being close to coming back...

It'll be bloody useful if he could play ASAP...
 
Well he was on the bench against West Ham and he was about to come on against Bolton, just before Evans got sent off, but then the sending off changed things.
 
What the hell is going on. This country has gone to the dogs.
 
let me guess..... he's a City/Chelski/Arsenal/Liverpool fan?
 
Exclusive: Referees have revolted against the FA for using Lee Mason to write a report so Manchester United's Wayne Rooney could be charged for swearing - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk

Wayne Rooney’s swearing ban has sparked a revolt among Premier League referees.

In a bizarre new twist, they claim match official Lee Mason was put under pressure to write a report that would enable the FA to charge the Manchester United striker.

Mason’s admission he would have sent off the England star for swearing at a TV camera after scoring against West Ham had he been aware of the incident, was the spark for Rooney to be charged.

The two-match banwhich followed was upheld yesterday and Rooney says he is “gutted” to be missing the Premier League game with Fulham and FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

There is anger among Mason’s refereeing colleagues who insist he was ‘used’ by the FA who wanted Rooney to be charged – but wanted the referee to review his decision and come up with the conclusion that led to a ban.

A source close to the row said: “Lee should not have been put on the spot like this. If the FA wanted to ban Rooney they should have done it themselves.

“There is no way one of the senior refs would have sent him off for that or said they would when they reviewed it. Lee was put in a terrible position.

“This has caused real anger. There has not been a reaction like it before. We all feel for him and think he should have been protected – not hung out to dry.”

Senior refs felt that the FA should have simply charged Rooney rather than put the onus on the match official and have complained to their chief Mike Riley that he should have offered more protection to Mason.

EDIT- gah... beat me to it....

if the FA have made the ref change stuff to make it easier to f**k Rooney over.... then it's clear proof that the FA are anti-United...
 
dear f**king God... who did they get to type up that load of S**t???? the monkeys in the nearest Zoo?
 
Imagine the furore if Rooney grabbed a Spurs fan like Fuller did or punched VDS in the chest like Noble did Green

Fergie was 100% right (as usual)

Who the hell is this guy? The gaffer is right, this policeman obviously is looking to get a bit of a leg up the ladder to earn himself a promotion for saying all of the 'right' things.

Would the same cop jail Gerrard and Kuyt for calling Nani every expletive know to man at Anfield?...if it happened on the streets on a Saturday night? Not on your nelly.
 
As a point of criticism to Rooney too, I think he gets into a lot of trouble for silly things. Its high time he really learns. He gets into trouble every now and then and ends up apologizing. He's not a kid any more. He gets paid huge every week so least he can do is show a bit of modesty. Swearing at the camera after scoring a winner makes no sense.
