Seems somewhat arbitrary to call someone a disgusting human being simply because he plays for a rival team, or that he uses profanity on occasion.

That's coming from RobbieG who has an argument in every thread he posts in.

What was the stupid question?

Apparently he asked him to kiss the camera.

More of a request than a question, if it even happened

Some of Rooney's behaviour reminds me a bit of a guy I know who suffers from ADHD, obviously I'm no doctor but some of the daft things he does are similar if only mildly in Rooney's case.

I imagine most footballers suffer from some sort of ADHD, although I don't even believe it's a condition, it was called "being a pain in the arse" when I was a kid

should have asked him to kiss his granny, he'd have done it with tongues and kept his eyes open

and I answered it

Or hires whores to shag while his young wife is pregnant?! After already doing the same thing before .. with a granny. Or holds Man Utd to ransom for obscene wages that only he thinks he's worth?

But i wasn't continuing an arguement, I haven't argued in this thread, i simply wanted to know what the cameraman said to the guy and i wasn't attempting to keep it going around in circles.

Anyhoo, ridiculous ban, maybe a bit different if he was being racist or something but simply swearing is nothing.

A comment on another forum but it's nail on the head for me.

When did footballers become responsible for brining up peoples children, that's probably why they get paid so well!

Tin foil hat reply if ever I saw one.

How many times! You can't compare shouting directly down a camera on pitch level with lip reading.

It's not because the FA "hate" United, they just get punished for being guilty.

Don't give the FA ammo and you'll be fine.

So it's worse to swear down a camera than swear at a ref?

Footballers do have a large social responsibility and that's partly why they're paid so well, don't know how you could be so naive to this fact (besides being a Man Utd fan)

Everyone does daft things, especially when they are young. It hardly makes him a despicable human being however. He is a football player, not Stalin.

I would be very careful of judging someone's character to such extremes based on tabloid news stories to be honest, but then that's me, I like like to judge people on my own experience not simply hate because I'm told to.

There are paid for the talent and success they bring to a football club, not because they have some innate social responsibility.

They are sportmen not social workers or politicians, there is no social governance criteria in being a footballer.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to him he's always on about Man Utd players and their personalties. He's obsessed with the club.

Ok, good for you Castiel, that other guy is different and chooses to frown on people with young families who repeatedly shag whores (and 99% of non Man Utd fans)

It's not exactly in their job description but you're being massively obtuse if you deny that they affect society, the good money says you're a Man Utd fan too

It's almost as though you're trying to paint Rooney as even remotely likeable, strange

Shamikebab · 5 Apr 2011 at 15:33

It's almost like you're trying to paint Rooney as unlikeable just based on what you read in the paper.

jakeke · 5 Apr 2011 at 15:38

I don't read the papers but you'll find that nearly everybody in the country dislikes Rooney, take your head out of the sand, why do you think the whole of Upton Park abused him? Because he's a fine young fellow with a good attitude, a dedicated family man, always polite, always sincere, or because he's deeply dislikeable?

Gilly · 5 Apr 2011 at 15:47

I can't stand Rooney, I don't know many people that like him. I'd say he's probably a lot less liked than Terry or Ashley.

I'm happy with them if they play well for England, of course.

he is an extremely unpleasant character, then again I don't know many Man U fans that would defend him as a person

jakeke · 5 Apr 2011 at 15:53

There's a few on here who are trying, they are beginning to appear clinically insane though so I don't know if they count

Trying to defend Wayne Rooney's actions (specifically swearing at millions of people in the middle of the day), I don't even think his wife would try that any more, just seems odd that some Man Utd fans would

Yet I bet they'd all be celebrating if he scored a winner for England.

I don't claim to like or dislike him, because guess what...I've never met him! You lot are so judgmental :confused:
