In their response, they said: The FA takes a dim view of [...]
Dear Scott, Thank you for contacting the Football Association. The FA takes a dim view of any foul and abusive language used at football matches. The clear distinction to be made in the Wayne Rooney case is that the language used was directed specifically at a television camera lens, whilst clearly audible to the viewing [...]
The Mirror has also now exposed the double standards of the FA in dishing out a two match ban to Wayne Rooney for “using offensive, insulting or abusive language” whilst ignoring all the other players guilty of the same offence on a weekly basis. Whilst everyone can agree that Rooney was wrong to swear directly [...]

RoM is launching “Swear Watch” this weekend following the two match ban for Wayne Rooney. He was charged with using “offensive, insulting and/or abusive language” in our 4-2 win over West Ham.

Rooney was charged with using “offensive, insulting and/or abusive language” in our 4-2 victory over West Ham. The referee didn’t see it or hear it, but was forced by the FA to include it in his match report, claiming that if he had heard Rooney swearing, he would have sent him off. Surely Martin Atkinson [...]
Sections of the press today claimed that referee Lee Mason was put under pressure by the FA to write in his match report that had he seen Wayne Rooney swearing at West Ham, he would have sent him off.

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 [...]
Professional Footballers’ Association deputy chief executive, Bobby Barnes, has slammed the FA’s decision to ban Wayne Rooney for two games because he swore after scoring a hattrick. “It is always talked about the money these type of players earn, but it is not about the money, it is about not having the success, not living [...]
At the weekend, Manchester City were 3,500+ below capacity and now they’re struggling to shift just 2,900 tickets for their upcoming game against Liverpool at Anfield.

The FA’s decision to ban Wayne Rooney was so ludicrous that even the press are on his side! The Independent: Saturday was about one man letting rip against his persecutors. Punishing him for it, as Rooney may well agree, is a load of bollocks. The Guardian: Really it is Sky who should be being reprimanded [...]
The FA have confirmed that Wayne Rooney will be banned for two games after he swore at the camera in United’s 4-2 victory over West Ham at the weekend. Rooney has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge. If Rooney accepts the ban it means he will miss this weekend’s home game against [...]
The former FA compliance officer, Graham Bean, claims the FA is guilty of making an example out of Sir Alex Ferguson because of his and the club’s high profile.
