If this is true and it was an excessive amount or it was at a bad time (before a game or important training session) then it is an absolute disgrace.
Captain of Manchester United and playing poorly is not the time to be drinking anything. If it's true he has no shame and is taking the club for a ride.

Hopefully the story is just bullshit
 
The Leicester squad have, today, been photographed supping beers in Copenhagen as a reward for topping the league. Nothing wrong with that if the morale at the club is good.

United do not ban them from drinking. It is when they do the drinking. After a game when there isn't another on straight after is fine. I always thought it was after the Wednesday if playing Saturday.
 
He was out at a Stereophonics gig last Thursday. Whether that constitutes evidence for him being pissed is a matter of opinion.

YEAH! No beer, no wine, no lucozade, no god damn water, its not time to be drinking ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGGG.
 
So, if he is not injured but instead dropped for having alcohol in his system does that mean that he can be dropped and there isn't a clause in his contract which prevents it or not?

They don't get tested during it though. I'd assume, if this is true, that Rooney drank the night before his test, which would mean he had to drink quiet a bit to get tested positive the next day. Would be even worse, if he started drinking early in the day.

Didn't Fergie drop him a few years ago after showing up to training hung over?

He did.

Hopefully.
 
I'm all for dropping Rooney as well but he'd have scored the chance Martial missed yesterday. If there's one thing he can still do, it's finish.

Indeed.

Don't know how LvG works but, it could be he went out without permission from LvG.

Not really fussed anyways. Lost any interest in Rooney the moment he came on against Boro, demanding the armband
That was a joke moment. "I am Rooney and i have arrived"
 
Him, Johnny Evans and Clark Gibson was out on the town wasn't it? Can't remember what happened with those two though.

That's right, they were the two with him, it was around Christmas when we played West Brom I think, might have been the infamous Nevs last stand game.

It was the Blackburn game the following season. Park and Rafael in midfield. Infamous for three reasons.

1. It sent Pogba over the edge.
2. Gibson, Rooney and Evans acting the cnut
3. Probably costing us the league
 
I wonder how the video analysis meeting is at Man Utd. Must be awkward seeing Rooney feck up chances, slow down counters, lose possession consistently, misplace passes week in week out.
 
On the other hand, the second post is now quite relevant.

Harsh on the MLS to be fair. Guy doesn't look fit enough for football full stop. I'm not sure how he possibly can fit (no pun intended) under their salary cap.
 
To be honest, it's all a bit sad, that it's all come to this....In an ideal world, you'd think our captain would be something other than an object of ridicule. I know not everyone shares the same view, but I can't see this ending in anything approaching pleasant. I wonder if it's true that he has it in his contract, that he has to play in a certain number of games, if fit? What is apparent, I think, is the lack of a senior striker to take over. It's all very well in having Martial, an amazing prospect, but it's unfair to expect him to bear the responsibility of being our main striker in his development years. Similarly, we need established wingers who can come in and take responsibility. To expect Lingard and Memphis to be consistent is a bit much given how young they are. It'll be difficult to get suitable targets in January, but I think the summer transfer window is going to be a massive one for us, and one we cannot afford to feck up. Get it right, and I honestly believe we can win the title next season.
 
All over social media this. Happened twice apparently.

The end is nigh folks. Reckon Bobby's record stands myself.
 
A lot of people on Twitter saying the guy who broke is is the real deal. Don't know what to think. I've never been on the site.
Whatever it is, it can't be serious because LVG said he'll be back in two weeks. If it were true, he'll be suspended from training also.
 
He'll be back as the first name on the team sheet soon. He has privileges after all.

I'm hoping Woodward has a nice long chat with LVG at the end of the season to end this mess.

Absolutely huge summer. One where the club has to be brave and take a big call.
 
I'm sure LVG will just sweep it under the carpet if it's true. His love for Rooney is just too big.
 
If it's true that he arrived at training with an excessive blood alcohol level surely we could terminate his contract for gross misconduct? That's what would apply in most workplaces.....please?
 
There might be some truth that it isn't injury related but I still don't believe it's cause of alcohol. The injury circumstances seem strange. He got his injury during training on international duty. The injury kept him out of both England gamesbut Hogdson said it want a big deal. He came back and played two games but had to be subbed in the last game due to a bang in his ribs. LVG said he had thought of taking him off, not because of any ankle injury but because he wasn't playing well. Nothing about his ankle. The next press conference LVG says the injury to his ankle is worse than feared and he didn't know when he would be back.

Lurkhurst from the MEN said for the first time, he's beginning to think this will be his last season. No info but his gut feeling. First journo I've heard say anything like that.

It's not that easy. Rooney will be missing out on about £40m in wages. It will surely go to court. That's even without all the bad press and dragging through mud on both sides.

It would be worth it to see the confused and angry look on his little face.

Man, after all these years of disliking Wayne, I would have thought this season would have been your season to shine. I have more posts in this thread than you ! :)
 
Samuel Luckhurst (is that the name?) from the M.E.N has said that Rooney does have an ankle injury, but didn't rule out the alcohol story either.

Im trying so hard not to gloat, im just reveling in the fact that I can see the finish line and Ive outlasted him :lol: I am taking some satisfaction in the fact I said about 3 years ago he would decline by his 30s and it would be rapid and extreme......and got roundly slaughtered for it.
