You could take 90 percent of english players in the premiership and they would all be yobs. Those that are not yobs you would not leave alone with your wife or girlfriend.
Wouldn't mind being left alone with some of their wifes and girlfriends

You sure - yob agreed - fantastic football ability - his performances over the last few England games I'd disagree.
He's just a scouse w****r who needs a smack in the mouth - all due respect to all other scousers

What the FA should be asking is why, the English "star" of the Premier League, paid £1m a month, wife & kids, nice house, cars etc living the life of a movie star without having to do a proper job but, instead, living the dream of most normal blokes in the land.................... can't crack a ****ing smile the miserable fat-headed gob****e. FFS, if he's that ****ing unhappy, they should send the b***end to Japan for two weeks to show him what a bad year really is, the self righteous spolit, over paid, mollycoddled, ****.
Where do I send the invoice for the tea destroyed keyboard to?

Nail on head that really. He's getting £250k a week which works out at £13m a year and he acts like a spoilt brat if things aren't going his way. Needs to spend a month in Helmand Provence with the boys doing IED finding, that should bring him down to earth!!!!

So all the 'swearing' in this thread...is that any better than Mr Rooney's behaviour?
I don't condone swearing anywhere - even if it asterixed out! (Have I invented a word?)
As per usual, a scapegoat is made and everyone else is a saint.

My apologies to you and any others who may be offended at the asterixes, (that must be a new word as well), however,
I do not get paid too many pounds a week to be shown on TV kicking a ball around and showing gross immaturity. Nor am I a 'role model', (I use the term loosely), to possibly millions of kids some of whom appeared on the local news showing more maturity than the subject.
The guy obviously has ability but that does not give him the right to act the way he does in public and expect not to be criticised.
I am not a saint - but, like you, I am entitled to my opinion
Ironically, he says this during a game where the crowd were chanting a fair few swear words (Which happens in most matches, Referee's a what?)
And Doog, if you got an instant dismissal for swearing in your work, then I'd seriously question where you do work?
Well I would if it was at TV cameras and without good reason. I'm not excusing crowds here but Rooney has to know better surely? Least of all when his mum might be watching. Would that not be enough. Let's just face the fact he's an idiot, and be done with it.

I dont think hes a scapegoat. He swore down a camera on a sunday lunchtime. Deliberately went up to it and did it,not just something "caught on camera" which is somewhat different.
He made a choice to do that. He knows better. He will have to accept his punishment. It's no more than anyone else get if they did that.
Whatever - my point still stands.
And yours doesn't. Midday TV as opposed to what? There are certain standards expected of players - especially when on the TV. He's aware of them - he breached them.
You havent actually made a point at all. All you've said is he is a scapegoat without giving any similar events at similar times of day that show he's a scapegoat. It's merely your opinion.
EDIT: - Ah - from manchester - there we go!!

Yes but it's very similar to an old word - asterisked!
Perhaps the issue here isn't that the poor yobo swore at the camera/crowd but the hypocrisy of a society that claims swearing is a nono when it is all one hears in public amongst many folk.
