Can't believe Rooney's being slaughtered for swearing. How anaemic & sanitised is English football becoming?

The media must enjoy Rooney doing this given his previous.
It's not like the lad found the camera and started shouting expletives to viewers at home ala Drogba he was giving some back to the crowd who were abusing him. It's a weekly occurence that you hear expletives and offensive things picked up over TV audio equipment.

So I just turned on 606 for ten minutes and the whole thing was about Wayne Rooney saying the word feck.
This is getting beyond embarrassing.

I believe so, and he wouldn't be the only one on here sadly
It's nothing to do with 'British'. It's to do with United, and not United
I don't think any society particularly finds it acceptable to broadcast language like that before the watershed when kids are watching, Sky apologised for it at the time. Rooney apologised for it after. Banging the drum for him being banned, for the rest of the season even... nothing to do with nationality so why claim it is?
If you thought that was bad, should have heard what I was shouting!
Even RedCafe favourite Ollie Holt think its an overreaction looking around most of the Journo's on twitter are saying this.
It wasn't the brightest thing to do, I mean I've never seen anyone do it before but the overreaction is magnified because it's Rooney, such is the life of being at the top.
Really? I've not seen much online reaction, just what's been posted in here mainly. Fair play if so.
Listening to Talksport right now
Absolutely mental stuff this.

Newsnow site filled with links to Rooney saying a "bad word"
FA supposedly looking into it...

I personally haven't yet recovered from the horrific episode.
Maybe someone doesn't like him, maybe because he's too good. I don't know.
We know the media will talk shite but swearing happens. It happens if you go to academy/reserve games/if you watch on mutv, you hear the odd swear word now and then. I think we know the overreaction to it is more to do with their jealousy and frustration then the act itself which really was a release of pressure. People go on about his wages, but I don't think his reaction was alien to any of us despirate to get the points to day.
feck off
On 606 there was a guy saying he should get the same treatment as Drogba

yeah ban him so Arsenal have a chance to catch us
MOTD should be fun.
What, benched for a £50 million cross dresser?On 606 there was a guy saying he should get the same treatment as Drogba
so what does this entail...banning?
Sigh, so ridiculous. The annoying this is, as soon as it happened I knew he'd get get some bad attention for it, cause he's Englands best player, therefore he has to.
NOTW main backpage story tomorrow by all accounts.
if they ban him...just retire from England...feck the FA.
It's sad that a stunning, likely Premiership winning hat-trick from the best player across the UK will get overshadowed by this bollocks.

Daily Mail : Rooney's DISGRACE.
What the hell!? He abuses all the time and now because he scored a hat trick it's a disgrace?

Papers are going to lap it up, they love it
Has sex with pensioners? If she's charging then she's demonstrably not a pensioner.
I told you there will be a shit storm.
And hence there will be a lot of pressure on the FA to do something.
He won't though will he. Same with Rio, he should have hung his boots up with his captain's arm band.
Though I have to say, if I was Rooney I'd stick with England, they've some exciting talent coming through.
Good point. When did you move to Vartdal, mate, or are you from there?
There was a shit storm over the elbow, it didn't change the outcome.
the mail running two "shockers":
"How did Vidic stay on the pitch" and "Rooney disgrace". The fact that we stormed to a brilliant comeback with an excellent display to make the title look pretty likely is besides the point. Or actually is the point - that pisses them off
have it - cockney loving twats
just don't click on their feeds

I wouldn't be here if it weren't were I was from
Came back in January, ready to do some work rather than study... moving to a place in Ørsta 'round May. You familiar with V-dale?
I'd be surprised if any of the newspapers leading with this get into a Manchester United press conference again this season. it just seems desperate, really.
We see Sir Alex cursing like a trooper ever week in a HD close up. Indeed, we see every player doing it all the time. It doesn't become more of an offense if a camera is 4 feet or 14 feet away.
I'm hopeful that the FA will just 'warn' him as to his future behavior and leave it at that. Else they'll have to charge about 200 people a week for swearing on the television.
