The FA have rejected Wayne Rooney’s appeal against a two game ban for swearing, meaning he will miss our league game against Fulham and FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
“I am gutted to be banned,” said Rooney. “I’m not the first to swear on TV and wont be last. I have to accept what has happened and move on.”
Rooney may be referring to John Terry, who clearing heard shouting “What the fuck?” on 56 minutes last night after a decision went against Chelsea.
The club have also responded to the FA’s ridiculous decision.
“Manchester United is clearly very disappointed with the Regulatory Commission’s decision,” said a club statement. “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 to on to what hopefully will be a very exciting conclusion to the season.”

Fucking great. FA twats.
Fucking FA Cunts
FA cunts. I didn’t expect them to reduce it anyway. Looks like we have to beat City without him.
At least not a 3 game ban.
What? Fucking what?!
I am going to obsess with taking down and reporting any player I see swear on tv from now on. This is a joke!
WHAT FUCKING WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
Cantona kung foo kunt in kourt:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3512998/Cantona-kung-fu-kick-fan-in-court.html
Will be nice to see if this is regularly enforced.
Don’t think I can remember a game when “industrial” language hasn’t been used.
What? Fucking what?!
Damn. Doubt he would’ve played against Fulham, but could have done with him against City. Time for Berba and Chicho to carry on their great work this season in what will be a huge match, and who knows, maybe a bit of Owen stepping up off the bench again?!…
Unbelievable. An absolute joke. its not even worth any sort of ban, never mind 2 matches….
We have to develop a new strategy for dealing with the FA.
Incompetent fuckers at the FA.
Let’s see how often the “Respect” campaign is enforced. FA have opened a very large can of worms.
I trust Berba & Hernandez will deliver the goods during Rooney’s absence.Gonna make number 19 oh so sweet when the smug arsewipes of the FA have to hand the PL Trophy to United.
Altogether now…..DAVID BERNSTEIN WHAT A WANKER WHAT A WANKER!!!!!
Its done now so lets try and look at the positives, he’ll be fresh as a daisy for when we play chelski and barring injury he’ll be fresh for a tough game to Newcastle away who he also has a good scoring record against. True he’ll miss the cit-eh semi final but if we can play Nani and Valencia on the wings vs them we should be okay. I think should start vs cit-eh if we have those two wingers on the pitch.
Just great!!
So how are the FA going to take this forward. I’m sure that every time a player is heard on TV saying ‘Fuck’ then it’s an automatic 2 game ban, regardless if it’s on the pitch or during an interview by mistake.
But in reality nothing else will happen, this made up rule to ban people for off the field incidents will only apply once and will never be seen again.
The FA just make shit up as they go along and just do whatever the media are all hyped up about. Take SAF 5 match ban; they claimed that because SAF never apologised for his actions, that the ban would take affect. Yet Rooney apologises straight after the game and is ignored. Bunch of useless fuckwits
The fa dont half know how to ruin things for the public, we all want to see Rooney play at wembley, first time in a long time that we get to see united v city at wembley and the fa ruin it, stuck up toffs that dont know Nowt about football!!!!!
Why was an ex-employee of citeh allowed to sit on the hearing?
Surely Bernstein would have been for the ban knowing it will mean Rooney missing the semi final.
More incompetence by the FA.
You’ll do what you’re told!
You’ll do what you’re to-o-old!
You’re Man Utd, you’ll do what you’re told!
Defending him like that after what he did to you. Two-faced, fickle, arrogant bastards.
a disgusting and biased decision by the FA , what more.can we expect from.such a filthy organization, how the hell the FA always consists of top class cunts
NRD
, that would be simply devastating for shitty
you mean valencia and nani on the same wing
F.A have opened a can of worms with this decision. They are now adding to the number of anti-United decisions as well – remember the massive ban they give Ferdy for missing the drug test and only a small fine for the City player who missed his test (double standards). Will look with bateted breath to see when they ban the next player for swearing (bet they won’t).
Wonder if it was Gerrard or Terry swearing they would have taken the same decision.
Last night during the Chelsea game John Terry disagreed with a decision to give us a throw in. His response was heard by my parents and wife watching with me in our living room…”What the F*ck ref!”
I’d like to see a 2 game ban given now!!
Words cannot explain how corrupt the FA are towards Utd – I agree with the earlier comment. If, notice if, we win the FA Cup the team should just walk off the pitch and let the FA keep their trophy!
Ashley Cole said, the same expletive during the second half. Others probably heard it. Very loud. Definitely him.
Spiteful and wrong…Rooney should quit international football.
@sig Approx. 56mins in last night, you could clearly hear TERRY swearing at the linesman.
Listened to Keys on talksport asking questions about the panel members and secrecy how many and who and should be accountable,Hmm.
m beaney. Not defending him. we’re defending our club and football in general. yet again another crazy unprecedented decision by the f.a. who are scared of the power we hold in english football
ban him for just being there
We shouldn’t really be surprised. I never really had much faith in the FA to do the right thing to be honest but am still disappointed at the harshness of this punishment. This won’t be enforeced as they will claim that Rooney said it down the camera and wasn’t just “caught on camera”. However, Sir Alex will use this to his advantage it’s us against the world, bring on the siege mentality and that 19th title, that 4th European Cup and I’d say fuck the FA Cup we don’t want anything associated with them but that would mean City getting one over on us so thanks FA we’ll look after your cup for a year too!
i believe that fa has a problem with man utd. First sir alex now rooney may b before the season ends our whole team may get banned. The truth is that they r jealous of us bcoz we r on z way for 19th!
Rooney should quit international football.
so he’ll be back for the newcastle game which should all but tie up the title for us, all bein well, then fresh for a semi-final against shalke 04, all bein well, can see us beatin city on penalties without Wayne no problem, as long as Ando and Nani are on, all bein well………….
m.beany are u bernstiens love sock? why r u on a united forum, dick? lets win the semi for rooney, fuck city COS MAN.UNITED WILL NEVER DIE……………………………………
@ Briggsy: we are living in a modern world were everyone is treated equally.
We can’t assume that the FAs rules only apply to protect people who can hear the terrible bad man saying those awful things.
What about people who are deaf but can lip read… surely that is also shocking and damaging language for those people to be obejcted to
Time for our two top scorers to keep number 19 on track
Rooney deserved a one game ban AT THE MOST. What difference to the FA does an extra game make. One would have been more than enough of a punishment. FA are really getting on my titties at the moment.
Ive said it before and I’ll say it again: I’LL TELL MY DAD, AND HE’S KIND OF A BIG DEAL!
The problem is the cloak and dagger aspect of it all. Going forward the FA will get away with it because they haven’t come out and said what EXACTLY it was for, just that it was for using abusive language. Next time someone is caught (which is doubtful as unless its a United player the press will choose to ignore it) the FA will then make up some other reason like it wasn’t close enough to the camera to warrant a ban or he wasn’t looking directly into the camer etc etc!! They should be made to sit down in front of a cinema screen with every manager and chairman in the FA and watch re-runs of incidents (and there will be a few so take plenty of popcorn Bernstein) where swearing on the field of play has occured. They should then explain how each incident will be punished in the future and why!! This is obviously an extreme reccommendation, however, why are there no government ombudsmen who these jokers are required to answer to or explain their decisions to? They should now, on the back of this laughable decision, come out with some clear guidelines and explain to the world why EXACTLY he was given a 2 game ban AND what other levels of swearing will warrant the same punishment in the future! Hands up if you think that will happen!!
p.s. Crouch was clearly seen telling the referee to FUCK OFF when he recieved his second yellow, UEFA thought this was fair enough I guess, I wonder what the FA would have done.
CUNTS
Could we truthfully have hoped for anything else?
COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS………………..UNITED UNITED UNITED

http://www.thefa.com/feedback/
I’ve just complained…we should inundate them…this ban is bullshit!
@ m beany
I would ask you to explain how defending Rooney makes us “arrogant” but I suspect its a word you bandy around a lot without ever really thinking about what it means.
Anyway, congratulations!! You have managed to cut-and-paste a letter from the F365 mailbox from around a month ago. Glad to see the computer skills workshops at the adult education centre aren’t going to waste.
Interesting, though, that at on a Thursday morning, you’ve got nothing better to do than go to the website of a club you don’t support and try to derive validation from winding up rival supporters. Next time you’re down there, see if the adult education centre does self-esteem courses.
There – the FA cunts have achieved their goal of ensuring that the young generation grows up clamouring to be priests and nuns…
Time for the players to learn to say “FUCK” in a foreign language. Can swear all night and not get banned.
In a certain Chinese dialect, it’s “KANINA”
Any other guys can teach a different language to swear “FUCK” ??
Just posted this on another thread but did anyone hear John Terry on 58mins telling the linesman to fuck off, no fucking way?
So because Rooney was more audible he is banned but what will happen to JT as now theb FA have set their precedent on the matter.
I shall be watching every live Premier League game carefully mark my words though nobody else will ever be banned again. I guarantee it.
They ban him because they are scared of him. Fuck it. This isn’t the end of the world for us at all, we’ve got Berbatov and Chicharito squared away to replace him for the time being and he could probably use a rest as we go into the run in. Two huge, physically demanding, performances inside of a week, he’s earned a breather. Can’t deny he’s been amazing for us lately, but when your backup is Berbatov, forget about it.
By the way. Just a quick gloat. I predicted that Nani wouldn’t start last night, and pretty much got laughed at by some on here.
*smug*

Sadly, that’s a matter for UEFA, not the FA, otherwise it would be a good case to put to them.
Would be interesting to scrutinise the Fulham and City games that Rooney misses and hear what the camera picks up, then question the FA about the lack of 2-match bans.
Just thought about it, Sky or whoever does the production have a responsibility as well. I wonder if Bernstein had a sly quiet word with them after this to make sure they don’t catch anyone on camera swearing and if they do, do as the police in England do when they have incriminating evidence…LOSE IT.
Would anyone be interested in joining me with my idea.
When United win the title, I’m gonna send a load of letters to the FA saying
“What!? FUCKING WHAT!?”
In swahili,its,f**ktiiwa!
Be funny as hell if someone hacked their website and left the words WHAT? FUCKING WHAT? on the main screen. Unfortunately do not know the first thing about hacking
@Kanchelskis
Indeed mate, the whole situation smacks of desperation from the FA, there is no doubt in my mind that this is because of what SAF said about Scudamore!
I’m just hopoing now that we win the cup but don’t bother going to collect it and then neither Sky or the FA get the pictures they want!
Unfortunate, I thought the FA was going to reduce the ban. I think United should field a ‘b’ side and save their players for the real competitions. If they don’t want United and their stars at Wembley, so be it. It was a fineable offence and nothing more. Hey the reserves may even nip City.
Redbeard – Loved your response to that sad prick earlier!!
giggs11gerrard0 – yep, it’s a UEFA issue. I posted earlier mentioning the same thing but as regards to Crouch who was clearly seen telling the referee to FUCK OFF when he got his second yellow! It would be interesting to see what the FA would have done, but because they haven’t stated the detail as to why he was banned they can happily go on making things up! But my guess is it will be a 2 game ban only for AUDIBLE swearing DIRECTED into a camera. I wouldn’t be suprised if we now see an instant ban for pitch side microphones so this never happens again! It’ll would also make a mockery of the RESPECT campaign as we will no doubt see the likes of Terry week in week out telling the referees and officials to fack off you cant, without punishment!
At the end of the day everyone wants to see the demise of Manchester United, the journo’s including that cunt Oliver Holt regradless of recent claims to be a United fan in the past. They manipulate situations against us all the time. Anyone watching the Sunday Suppliment would have been going mad.
The fact this is supposedly a very average team then I will be happier with this title than I have been since 92. No mentions how we have been devastated by injuries yet still performing and the team to catch!
I honestly cannot understand why Rooney would ever consider playing for England again. Why put yourself through the televised humiliation of playing for that shower in order to represent an corrupt organisation like the FA for the entertainment of an English public that hates him and a national press that persecutes him?
Fuck the FA! Fuck the Daily Mail! Fuck England!!!
Rooney should follow Scholesy’s example and tell England and the FA to go swivel.
Also, if people are truly outraged (not just b/c they support Liverpool) then they should petition TV providers that the game should be on a 5 second delay, like live events in America b/c every game has every swear word imaginable at some point. But we really know people were NOT actually offended and proper parenting, not censorship is the answer for your brat kids.
The FA’s Headquarters are at Wembley Stadium. 30,000+ United fans descending en mass to Wembley Stadium on April 16th.
Lets really get their fucking backs up – Chants, protests, banners, T-shirt, the lot.
WHAT? FUCKING WHAT?
Your hate makes us stronger.
Can man utd sue F.A, Rooney used the ‘F’ word (lol) after algeria game in the world cup playing for england in front of the camera but F.A did ntg but gets 2 match ban for the same offence playing for us. Where was the rulebook then, in the printing press.
no big deal – we have Berbatov.
The Odd Men Out Were Justified Against Chelsea
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/04/odd-men-out-were-justified-against.html
Look at this picture from last nights game when Rooney was celebrating, you can see the chelshit fans cursing at Rooney, showing middle fingers, v signs, pointing fuck you, and there are children in the crowd as you can clearly see and it was live on TV. These are the same fuckers were saying that they were disturbed by Rooney’s swearing.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1374232/Wayne-Rooney-simply-world-apart–Martin-Samuel.html
our club is the F.A.s poster boy when promoting our league around the world, same for Sky and the P.L. and they repeatedly treat us like absolute cunts with different rules to everyone else. Surely there must be some way the club can fuck them all over…
hope michael owen to play againts fulham
With all due respect, it was a waste of time appealing as it was either going to be upheld or extended. Let’s not forget, the 2nd game of that two game ban is our semi with City. City loving cunt Bernstein would never had it reduced with that in mind
m beany – fuck off you cunt.
micho – I hope Owen nicks a late winner against City mate.
Not unexpected. I’m sure City fans will be giddy with excitement, because Rooney usually scores against them. Looks like Berbatov will get his chance, to cement our lead in the title race and to take us to the cup final, by seeing the bitters off at Wembley. At least Wayne will be fresh for the Chelsea game. I think he’ll take his frustrations, out on the Rent boys, with a couple of goals.
FA are disgrace. If any one watched Chealse vs Man United game on tv watch the game from 67 to 70 i am 100% sure that Terry said F off to linesman.
Ask me it was worth it at West Ham. CITY got more to fret about than Rooney.
@Damu
I am surprised he hasn’t been charged for celebrating in front of their fans, inciting them in such a spiteful way, causing them to swear and stick 2 fingers up!
Expect him to be banned again, selectively this time, in the games that the FA select depending on the phase of the moon!
It’s all bollocks!
UTD should send a video of every player that swears from now on and demand a 2 game ban, if the FA don’t then a lawsuit should swiftly follow.
On a positive note the FA fuckwits don’t learn..they have now given us siege mentality and a real incentive to wipe the floor with the bitter blues and therefore say we don’t care who you ban we’ll do what we want!!! Then everytime we score the player should run to the nearest camera and say “this cup is worth sweet fa but we’ll win it anyway!!”
Too bad that is FA conspiracy and it will not prevent us from winning the treable
Fans should chant What? Fucking What? During each game Rooney is out. I’d like to see how the FA enforce that.
Do we give a fuck?
No we don’t – we know what’s coming and no one is going to stop us
Fuck off FA you will not stop us.
Stick your motherfuckin morals and shove them up your fucking ass
Which also goes to m. beaney – who the fuck are you ?
You are a nobody – a worthless piece of shit who cannot support his club or can’t get enough of your club and in order to have a fucking hard on have to come here
Well you can take your pants down and wank whatever you want – do we give a shit?
Told what we want? You ought to check the table and for that matter the history books
We do what we want – you just shit what you want.
Bernstein did his best to help City. Now they are out of excuses. They can’t wish for anything more going into the semi. I hope Berbatov buries them.
Ban for 2 games for what?Saying fucking.Now FA authority should be a more of a man and accept that they dont like united and they will do any damn thing to stop them from winning the league and f.a cup.
Hell we made one of the greatest comeback of season against west ham and what we see in the news is rooney getting banned.
Have you ever seen any 2 players or staff getting banned from the same team within a month.Not a month ago we saw fergie getting 5 match ban for saying the truth and then now rooney getting bannned for saying fucking.
But i bet after seeing rooney scoring again F.A would have hoped that theey had banned rooney for 5 or 6 games.
#19 IS OURS F.A you can do nothing and i mean absolutely nothing..
UNITED FOREVER
unfair…fa is so unfair with united…
@Mannings
yes very very good idea,also here`s the number to FA headquarters switchboard 020774 54545,we can all ring the FA and thank them for getting our backs up thus catapulting us towards more glory,thank you FA for your help in helping us help ourselves to more silverware….oh the irony of it all…..fuckin clowns..
I`m looking forward to next weekend,I fuckin really,really am,I`m gonna love watching us dish out another good fucking to another one of the FA`s beloved gang of 4,fuckin monkeys.
I’m sorry but he got what he deserved, if that was A Cole, Gerrard, Fabregas et al. We’d be agreeing with the ban. It’s all very well saying players swear all the time, but i’ve never seen a player deliberately front a camera live on TV and do it. He’s a twat and he has now by his own doing reduced our chances of winning both the FA Cup and League.
Grow up you dick head!
MG is in da House!!
Waiting for you to put that that muppet in his place, next up King Eric
It just gives Rooney a rest. BerbaGod and Hernandez, possibly some minutes for Owen too, is more than enough to destroy Fulham and embarass City.
M Beaney – Obviously a city fan!
We are not arrogant just better, so rather than worry about us try and help your own club out starting with the tickets on general sale for Liverpool – Now that is embarrasing
Your not really here
You are not, Your not really here….
We a suprise, I wonder then at Wimbledon this year when Andy Murray swears on numerous on TV and the commenters have to appologise for his language will he get the abuse and stick Rooney is getting in the media? And wil he be susppended and fines? No he is a middle class looser not a working class winner…
A very interesting interview with Steve McClaren. First saw it on MEN but there is a much longer versions of his comments on sportinglife. Compares the volatility of WR10 with Roy Keane. Says they had to unleash Keane in the end because hyper controlling him gave them less of a player. Hmmm, not sure I agree, but Stevie McClaren would be one who was there. Interesting interview and a must read.
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/11/04/07/SOCCER_Man_Utd_McClaren.html&TEAMHD=soccer&BID=165
If we look back to last year, this could be ok. We will rest Rooney and have him for CL. Will give SAF the chance to get Berbatov back into form as well. We will need all three in blistering form the last month and a half.
And Rooney will most likelig have a chip on his shoulder as well – always good to have.
FINALLY rooney shows his anger towards those FA bastards. And now the ABU cunts are saying nobody else will be banned for swearing because rooney’s was different. WTF? they did not charge rooney for swearing into a camera. they charged rooney for IMPROPER CONDUCT AND FOUL LANGUAGE. if you are telling me that your child cannot read lips and yet he can understand what fuck means then i don’t know what your child is doing. Just wait for it. I can bet you . THIS SATURDAY there will be more than a THOUSAND swearing cases and the FA will not touch ONE of them. fucking bastards. we pay your salary and yet you treat us like shit.
Sheer hypocrisy; Where is the natural justice in this? Kangaroo court of ex city & others supported by Brooking . My suggestion—nobody on United team shakes hands with anyone from FA at semi if they line up before match in presentation..
Does anyone have video of John Terry’s tirade toward the line judge in yesterdays CL match at the bridge? Looked to be a number of explatives in that one. A bit after the goal I think.
I think a chant should be created for the FA to mock their ban on Rooney. There the ones that created a storm in a tea cup in banning Rooney and creating all these headlines. Fuck the FA Fuck what!!!!
One thing which can be finally put to bed.
Manchester United > poor england
And may that be the end of that
Slim – so much for supporting your own team – they can’t even do that and they say that we are inferior to them
I wonder how though? I have never gone to another site trying to UP United – United is the be all and the end all for me and for mostly all of us.
It doesn’t work that way for the non believers though…
ROONEY ,RIO FUCKING RETIRE LADS FUCK THE FA FUCKING ASSHHOLES RETIRE LIKE GIGGS AND SCHOLES THEY DONT DESERVE YOU LADS AND ENGLANDSGONNA WIN FUCK ALL UNITED>england RED TILL DEAD ONE LOVE MUFC rant over
F.A are the definition of an ABU, what did you guys expect, we will be fine without Wayne in the two games, win them both and shove it up their ABU ars*.
hear Ando will be in action for our reserves tonight, hope he has a good one!
here’s a piece on our very own Anderson:
http://www.thehardtackle.com/index.php/man-utd%e2%80%99s-corner-a-letter-to-anderson/
As someone stated above, we should make “WHAT? FUCKIN’ WHAT? WHAT?” a chant!! It would be awesome to see the United fans chanting that each time a City player touches the ball in the FA semis!
F.A – Fucking Assholes!
Hope we bury them City low lives!
I wonder how many games ban the cameraguy gets. What? fucking what did he do on the pitch. Fucker!
The best would be to never ever again say a word to Sky, I chip in for the automatic fine the will give us. I just hope Sky won´t have the rights for the league for much longer. Fucking twats.
FA cunts. Still hardly unexpected. My only surprise is that they didn’t increase the ban.
I’ve gone from posting a few days ago that there’s nothing to worry about, that the FA won’t ban Rooney, to expressing surprise that they haven’t increased his ban. Oh how events can change your outlook in such a short space of time. Oh well, time to get on with it, I suspect Rooney would have been rested in one of the games anyways, the Fulham one in all probability. Us against the world, that’s the way we like it.
I also want Rooney to retire from England. Problem is the whole world will be on his case then. Itll just make things harder. I do think that if he waits a year or two, he may get away with it.
yes,everyone hates us….but like…I really don`t fuckin` care anyway….sod the fuckin` lot of them….
Corrupt bastards.
Those manipulative cunts sky and itv are portraying rooney as “the bad boy of football“. Laughable.
and Martin Keown can fuck right off with his high horse comments – fucking gooner scum. Of course he was angelic when he played.

@SuperNani17 – The sooner the Daily Mail goes to the wall the better. How the fuck does that pass for a news article.
Did anyone else hear Roy Evans on Talksport this morning? He said Wayne Rooney was paying for a lot of what Man United have got away with in the past. He even said the FA favoured Man United. Is there no end to the dellusion of some of these Scouse Bastards
