Rooney Charged: Faces Two Match Ban for cursing | Appeal lost

Rooney swore at the camera that means I can feck off authority figures. hooray! ... er.ahh..I mean what? what? feck off!
 
Its such a joke. Now the FA have to do it almost every time someone swears on TV.
 
Next time he scores Rooney should run to the camera and shout What? What? Fudge!!! then pull an O'Henry bar from his shorts and throw it into the crowd.
 
"The same aggressive stance, the bulging eyes, the foul-mouthed rant, fists clenched, surrounded by his mates, all cheering him on.
Apart from the "foul-mouthed rant" bit this decription could fit any PL footballer who'd just scored a significant goal.

"If Rooney had behaved like that in Wolverhampton on Saturday night, I would have expected my officers to lock him up," Mr Payne said.
His officers will be chuffed to find they're expected to lock up everyone who swears at them.

No wonder the police service is over budget.

It's folk like this who are wasting it.
 
Well atleast they didn't add an extra game. I was almost certain they would. The cnuts.
 
Bloody hell. I almost won't blame him if he wants to leave this country and play abroad. Talk about massive overreaction to one bloody celebration.

:lol: what on earth? So he would lock someone up for swearing? What a dick. And I would be curious to know just who exactly Rooney was 'abusing'?
 
Now everytime a player swears which can be heard or if a player directly swears at an official it should be an automatic 2-game ban. Ridiculous punishement & reaction from everyone. The FA can feck off.
 
They equate swearing with violent conduct; really stupid. I am not a conspiracy theory type but you wonder if someone is out to derail our season. We should be o.k against Fulham without him but he will be a huge loss against City. Having said that though, it was a stupid thing to do on Rooney's part.
 
The way the public and the "experts" are reacting is just pathetic. As if no one else would swear except Rooney.

Now the FA will have to ban 100's of players every year
 
lmao - that Payne guy sounds like an attention seeking whore.

Maybe he should lock up the parents that aren't fit enough to bring up their children in a way such that they aren't influenced by the Rooney's of the world.

My goodness that was a pathetic and can't believe some paper actually fell for his attempt just to get his name in the paper. He's talking absolute rubbish.
 
Bloody hell. I almost won't blame him if he wants to leave this country and play abroad. Talk about massive overreaction to one bloody celebration.

:lol: Rooney is being made a scapegoat for everything that's wrong with British youth today. I can't believe people still don't think there's been a massive overreaction.

Claymore and rednev will be backing the Cop I'd bet.
 
Said it yesterday am saying it today, anyone who thought for a moment bungstein was going to allow this to be reduced was in denial, this is a man whos said time and again hes desperate for City to succeed.

It will make it all the more sweet when we thrash them without Rooney, they're not up to much we saw that when we played em out of the council house without Rooney and a host of others.
 
The fans seem to be saying such nice things to Rooney:

I wonder if little kids will ask their dads what those middle fingers mean.
 
Pfft. Take it on the chin and raise hell every time the act goes unpunished elsewhere. I fully expect the club to inundate the FA with videos each week of players caught swearing on camera, in order to assist them with the 300 cases a week they are now committed to review.

Only problem is that, when the FA mention they review things that are brought to their attention, they really mean only incidents about which there have been massive amounts of media reaction.
 
Is it really that much of a loss? Fulham next week he could conceivably have been rested for anyway ahead of Chelsea on Tuesday and massive (no pun intended) as the semi-final is, it is still an FA Cup tie so it is not beyond the realms of possibility Ferguson wanted to keep perhaps Owen's toe in the water to keep him fit in case he is called upon later on.

I think the reaction we'll have to the ban and the unifying effect it'll have on the team and the fans is far more positive than the negative of how many games he misses.

I think it is our duty now to make sure every incident does get media attention. We should do as much as we can, as fans, to raise these issues and ask why they're not being punished.
 
"Hey FA, feck you
Now you can ban us too
"

something like that. Maybe get "Roo" into there as well.
 
Speechless. I really wish the club would file a suit if not now during the summer. The FA has no oversight and their "appeals system" is clearly a joke. Surely there are legal challenges along those grounds.

Times like these I wish Mark Cuban had bought the club instead of the Glazers. He'd be going to war with the FA. He'd have video evidence produced of any foul language heard on the air from that day forward. It would be a personal crusade to show the FA for the dipshits they are. The Glazers could care any less.

I really hope during the next England match that Rooney does a similar act. Let's see the FA suspend him with a crucial qualifying match around the corner. He probably doesn't have the cohones to do such.
 
Someone on the CAF should create a website strictly to store evidence of future issues and each case should be bombarded with hundreds of emails and letters to the FA.
 
WAYNE ROONEY has been left fuming with the FA after they rejected his appeal to overturn a two-match ban following his F-word rant at West Ham.
The Manchester United striker will now miss his side's crunch FA Cup semi-final showdown with neighbours City at Wembley on April 16.

And the decision has left Rooney furious with English football's governing body.

He said: "I am gutted to miss two matches, one of which is an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

"I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won't be the last.

"Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately.

"And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn't seem right.

"Whatever, I have to accept that what's happened has happened and move on from here. That is what I intend to do."


Rooney was punished after a foul-mouthed rant at a TV camera while celebrating his hat-trick goal against the Hammers on Saturday.

As well as sitting out the last-four clash with City, he will also be sidelined for this weekend's Premier League home game against Fulham.

Rooney had admitted the charge of using "offensive, insulting and/or abusive language" but appealed his two-match suspension.

The England ace, who apologised soon after the game, felt the punishment was too harsh.

But the FA have refused to change their decision and have instead chosen to make an example of Rooney.

They could have hit him with a further one-match ban had they deemed his appeal to be a waste of their time.

But they have decided to be lenient on this occasion, meaning he will be available for United's trip to Newcastle on April 19.


An FA statement read: "A Regulatory Commission has suspended Manchester United's Wayne Rooney for two matches.

"Rooney had admitted a charge for the use of offensive, insulting and/or abusive language, but claimed that the automatic penalty of two games was clearly excessive.

"The Commission did not accept the claim and Rooney will begin the standard two match suspension with immediate effect."

United were left livid by the decision to ban their star man during such an important period of the season.

A club statement said: "Manchester United is clearly very disappointed with the Regulatory Commission's decision.

"The club put forward a very strong case to have the punishment reduced, which was unsuccessful.

"Wayne Rooney apologised immediately after the match and the club now wishes to move on to what hopefully will be a very exciting conclusion to the season."

Rooney scored the only goal as United beat Chelsea in last night's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Stamford Bridge.

He has hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks, netting seven goals in his last nine matches, after a torrid season both on and off the field.

At the start of the season, he was accused of having an affair and spent a month out of the team after handing in a transfer request.

He eventually signed a new five-year contract but could only manage two goals in 15 games for United before the turn of the year.

Yesterday, it emerged he had also been dropped from his lucrative sponsorship contract with Coca-Cola last year.

On the extended highlights of the Liverpool - West Brom match (which have mostly been taken down) after reina is called for tripping Odemwingie He goes mental on the assistant ref and turns to face the ref and in full of the camera goes "NO feckING WAY". Shame I cant find it now, most highlights just show him tripping odemwingie and then cuts to Brunt taking the penalty.
 
Does anyone think creating a site feckTheFA.org and WhatfeckingWhat.com which compiles evidence of players swearing during match but, point out no FA action would gain any traction? I know this issue will probably die down in a few days/weeks but, seriously think we are getting wrong end of the stick from the FA and now pressure must be maintained on them to apply the rules equally (though that might not be good if our own players are caught doing it ... ooops).

Wayne Rooney should sponsor someone to build a site that at least puts together all the incidents of players / managers swearing on camera without bans or heck just being looked into.
 
Bloody hell. I almost won't blame him if he wants to leave this country and play abroad. Talk about massive overreaction to one bloody celebration.
That pen pusher, sorry, police man, is a fecking tosspot.
However, there's no FA conspiracy against us, or against Rooney, it's just the FA being weak willed and spineless, giving in to populist opinion spouted by people who should stfu and stick to what they know.
 
We are gonna miss him against City, he has never won the Fa Cup so he would be extra fired up for that.
