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 here, for employing a guy with a hand-held camera to run up to players at key moments and poke it in their faces, and the football authorities, for allowing them to do so.
The Telegraph: Maybe football has become too earthy and uncouth for children to embrace. So if you can handle the spitting of Tiger Woods, the swearing of Andy Murray or the eye-gouging of some of the more uncontrollable characters in rugby, then there are alternatives.
The Mirror: The idea he should now be punished for what he said with some sort of ban or fine is laughable and unworkable.
Man Utd News 24/7
The balance in the world has seriously gone fucked
Oh dear. I wonder what is next…
As I said in the previous post, this is one time the media are going to be on our side and let us see the circus it is going to create.
Oh, what are the F.A. going to do now without their beloved British press on their side. Oh I know, they are going to lose the plot and only fine Rooney. Which is still bad mind you but that would also mean the F.A. don’t have fucking balls to do what they want to do.
FA = Fucking Apes
Yet yesterday and this morning they were all calling for his head/.
And they windrows why we didn’t get the world cup
And they wonder why we didn’t get the world cup
A bit late for the press to be on WR10s side. Just looking for peoples heads. A bunch of absolute canibals!
So then are the men of Honour I referred to in a previous post deciding to stand up for right.Well I never.
If rooney gets a ban i think he should ‘retire’ from international football.
In fact i think Fergie should instruct his entire English contingent to do the same.
Thank God the WC didn’t go to England. PHEW. Crisis averted.
When a bitter is head of the so called “FA” then you know british football is fucked.
Rooney should challenge the FA and ask them publiclly how they are in a position to impose any punishment when a life long Man City fan is part of the decision process. In any court of law this would render the decision null and void when it is in Citys interest to see him banned for the semi final. Obviously Udt will have to beat opposing teams, referees and the FA to gain that 19th title. Rooney should tell them to stick their opinions up where the sun does’nt shine a la Cantona with the French FA.
You know its a joke when the media remove their ABU glasses.
All the FA board is soo foolish by giving rooney two match ban they don’t see other thing to do. Fuck the chairman
Balaji. Hello mate. That’s the problem though mate. The vast majority of the media are most certainly not on rooney or uniteds side. Infact its down to these abu cunts and there constant calling for action to be taken that make the fa feel almost obliged to dish out punishments. They may pay lip service that a ban isn’t right but most of these toerags will have been wanting exactly this to happen. Mate it is outrageous. A rule made up purely for united. This is the worse case of an anti united agenda I thinlk I have ever seen. Its bordering on corruption.
This is completely absurd. I sometimes think we United supporters go overboard in seeing an ABU agenda everywhere, but when something like this happens it makes me feel naive for ever doing so. I mean, a two-match ban at this critical point in the campaign just for a few curse words yelled into a camera? It would be laughable if it weren’t so potentially damaging to our season. And the sad irony is that if he does appeal and, say, gets the suspension reduced to one game instead of two, all the haters will claim that the FA has a pro-United bias and is cowering from Sir Alex’s wrath, when in truth even one game on the sidelines is, for this supposed offense, completely unwarranted. Disgusting.
FUCK THE FA,FUCK THE BAN,FUCKIN PLAY HIM AND THEN LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS,EVEN BETTER,WHY DON`T THE GLAZERS ACTUALLY PROVE THEY ARE WORTHY AND EMPLOY LAWYERS TO LOOK AT THIS WHOLE FUCKING JOKE AND THEN THREATEN THE FA TO THE POINT THEY A) BACK DOWN AND GIVE HIM A FINE. B)THE CLUB DECIDES THAT THEY ARE TAKING THE FA TO COURT REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER IS DISHED OUT IF ROONEY & CLUB DECIDE TO APPEAL,THAT WOULD LEAVE HIM FREE TO PLAY IN REMAINING GAMES.
ME PERSONALLY,I THINK THE FA ARE SHITTING THEMSELVES AS TO WHAT UTD WILL DO NEXT. ROLL ON NO 19,WE`RE NEARLY THERE…
QUESTION: IS THE FA RUN BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE GAME OR EVER,TRULY,SINCERELY PLAYED IT AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL?
THEY HAVE NOW OPENED A MASSIVE CAN OF WORMS AND THERE IS NO HIDING PLACE FOR THEIR INCOMPETENCE,,,,THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE NOW IS THAT THEY ARE STOKING OUR FIRE AND THEREFORE PROPELLING US TO A 19TH UNPRECEDENTED TITLE…THANK YOU ALL AT THE FA….
Im with the Guardians stance here. They shouldn’t shove cameras in peoples faces at emotional times. Once more it was Sky that broadcasted an obscenity in early afternoon on a weekend with all the youngsters awake and watching. It is Skys fault and they should have their licence revoked. If you know someone is fucking or could be fucking, you cant broadcast the said fucking on national TV then blame the copulators. Its the filming and broadcasting that is breaking the rules, not the action. Which is not illegal.
Murdochs fault, fucking Aussie bastard.
Remember this is our beloved neutral FA the ones that
1. Extended Erics ban into the following season
2. Banned Rio for missing (not failing) a drugs test for 8 months when a city player got fined and warned
3 That banned Evra believing a racist groudsman before A Player and our assistant manager
4 That banned Scholes and Rooney for getting a red card in a preseason friendly when no player has been baned before or since.
United always get the decesions!!!!!!!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1373430/FA-earn-Respect-Wayne-Rooney-charge.html
The Fa that Retrospectively banned Rio last season for a alleged elbow on Chris Fagan against Hull at OT
And best of all spent £19 MILLION to get their own vote ONLY at the World cup draw.
Stunning professional and we shouild be sop pround of their endeavours.
If it is a Player wears a UNITED shirt he will be truly fucked over.
Must be so absurd when even the media fines a ban stupid.
If they are goijg to do this on Rooney lets see if any other player gets a similar ban.
Dont think so
Gerrard kissed the camera, If you go into the street and randomly kiss someone then you are sexual assaulting them. I would like Gerrard, their new darling scott Parker to be banned for sexual assaulting the viewing public, one I must add is a minor a young boy in my charge. I would like the FA to answer the charges of allowing the molestation of small children to take place during a family moment.
Its utter disgrace but we’ve seen only this week that a paedofile is alowed to adorn the gates of one of the countrys oldest clubs.
What is British football coming to. Cant allow a trainer to be manager because he hasnt got documents saying that he isnt a good enough coach despite 20 odd years in the game. An openly anti royalist muslim owning a football club. A paedo standing proud outside Craven Cottage where players past should be remembered (like moritz volz, lol). Gerrard molesting kids on daytime TV. No wonder Rooneys upset.
F.A. = f4gg0t a$$h0les
Rio and Rooney should both retire from the England team, who are vastly overrated and run by a bunch of backwards stuffy old men that probably don’t believe in Darwinism and evolution.
Nani NOT nominated for PFA Player of the Year. Instead, Charlie Adam, Samir Nasri, Gareth Bale, Nemanja Vidic, Carlos Tevez, Scott Parker.Nani’s up for the Young Player of the Year, alongside Bale, Nasri, Wilshere, Coleman and Hart.Can you believe it?This is injustice!!
@BillyBowLegs … I’m sure you’re writing something passionate but I won’t read it BECAUSE IT’S ALL IN CAPS. Honestly, mate, you may as well say nothing at all because it’s fucking impossible to read. Cheers anyway.
@T4M
Come on mate april fools day is over.tell me you’re joking mate. Is that for real ?
@slim sadly its true.I found out via nickcoppack(mutv journo) through twitter.The Fa are tired of utd players winning the stuff year in year out and I’m sure they’ll go give it to nas-e-ri.
@StatesideAussie
If you don`t like it….fuck off….fuckin prick…
This just makes me crazy. It was a kangaroo court over the weekend with the press as prosecutors.
@BillyBowLegs, shouldn’t that be IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT …. FUCK OFF … FUCKIN PRICK?
Tonka … nah, the kangaroo court will be tomorrow.
That is when a committee of unelected, unidentified, faceless men will meet behind closed doors to pass judgment on an accused person over a charge that they themselves have concocted. Neither the accused nor his representatives are permitted to be present at the meeting. The charge involves using language that contravenes a secret (or non-existent) list of prohibited words that only these faceless men know. That list (if it exists) is based on standards that only they know. Neither the list of prohibited words, nor the standards, have been made public, nor will they be. The punishment has already been determined and publicly announced without any open or evidential hearing, at least none that was public. However, unless the accused submits a plea of guilty and accepts that punishment without dissent, it may be extended. There is no avenue for appeal to any independent or higher authority.
Now that’s what I call a kangaroo court.
@StatesideAussie
YOU TOTAL FUCKING WANKER. I bet you don`t even know much if anything about the club,have you ever been or are you one of these who recently jumped on the glory bandwagon? stick to your shit aussie rules and fucking girls baseball and the likes,this is real football not soccer,you fucking dimwitted twat,go-fuck off and watch one of your stupid aussie/yank games you knob jockey.
Looks like many forummers here will be banned!
Seems like Rooney’s not the only one here that needs anger management training
@billybowlegs
Easy big fella, stateside is sounds like as much a Red as you’d find terrace or otherwise, take a chill pill – at least he got you off the CAPS. lol
I have to agree with veek that Rooney should retire from International football. If the FA do not give a f@#$ about being fair then why should he bother to play internationals. What do they get playing for England anyway, England will never win the world cup again until the FA sort out the mess that they have internally. How can you have pride for your country when you get singled out. Its all about $$$ for the FA.
Well, its funny that the FA would ruin their moneymaking showpiece the FA Cup semifinal by putting Rooney out of it when EVERYONE swears. It is a part of football, players swear around the camera all the time, managers swear, fans swear and call the players’ wives whores! It is a bit rich to call Rooney out for swearing when football isn’t exactly whiter than white.
The media can go fuck themselves.they were the ones who blew this situation out of proportion.fuck the fa, fuck the press,
slim, cheers mate.
billy, i never abused or insulted you, i was merely pointing out that most readers do not appreciate it when people type in all-caps.
Obviously, I grew up in Australia and I now live in the states, so, no, I am not exactly a regular at OT. Congrats on figuring that out, with “StatesdeAussie” as your only clue. But I am 50 and I have supported and followed United as best I can since I was 5. It wasn’t always easy. In fact, most of the time I wasn’t really following the team, since that was impossible in any practical sense. What I was following, instead, was the “ideal” of a team that somehow got infused into me back when I was a nipper, this wonderful club that had suffered a terrible tragedy but had been rebuilt and had fabulous players who played like gods and had names like Best and Charlton and Law.
When I was a kid, all I had was the occasional radio report or things people said, since we were in my early teens before we got a TV and I didn’t read newspapers. And yes, that TV was B&W. Of course, there was no cable or satellite and only a few broadcast channels, so matches were few and far between, but once a year I would wait up to watch the FA Cup Final, because that was always shown. The first time I actually got to see United play was a few years after we got the TV, when we beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 1977 Cup Final. I don’t remember the match, but I do remember the feeling of finally getting to see this team, this ideal, come to life in front of my eyes. The reason that’s all I remember is that me and my mate Pete got drunk on his Polish dad’s homemade vodka. Fortunately, my mum had the good sense to put a bucket next to my bed just in case.
Only once have I had the privilege of attending a United match in person, and I had to travel half-way around the world to do it. November 28, 1992, against Arsenal at Highbury. Mark Hughes scored the only goal of the match.
Nowadays I get it all on cable, every United match in every competition, and I watch every one without fail. I have installed a device to stream the matches from my TV’s HD recorder to my laptop over the Internet, since I travel on business so much and can’t bear not to watch a match the same day it’s played. If I could commute to OT to watch in person, I would do it, but trust me, it isn’t practical.
So that’s where I’m coming from. Now, we can either let this drop, put it behind us, and get on with supporting this club we both love. Or we can just throw shit at each other. It’s up to you, pal.
UTD should now ban sky cameras and press from OT and as someone else said any non essential fa person, hold talks with Rooney saying they’ll give him another pay rise if he quits internationals. Take away the one star player england have and see how much their new darling wiltshite can change a game at that level surrounded by shite!!
All who have used the F word should be
banned 2 weeks from making comments.
On another note, the Match against Chelsea
is live and all this hype is going to lead to
the opposite of what the FA would want.
I can here the chant now.
billybowlegs
You are new in town.
You haven’t even read much on RoM.
Your unprovoked attack on our friend StatesideAussie requires your abject apology.
StatesideAussie, you are a true red, and have my absolute respect sir.
rooney also sweared into the camera at the world cup, but there he got no ban, because the fa needed him there.
and all ask :why he is so angry?
its logical: the whole world hates him and all at upton parkbooed him out and than you wonder why he is saying such things. his celebration was awesome. this is football these are emotion, for that the whole world is watchin the game!
he should quit from international, they dont deserve rooney.
Surely this means that anyone who gets caught by camera swearing will be banned?
It’s a heat of the moment thing, but Rooney shouldn’t have given the FA the decision to make in the first place. Absolutely moronic.
billybowlegs
If you ever disrespect StatesideAussie again I’ll fucking have you
You ought to fuck off from here and come back with some respect or even better do not come back at all – we don’t need fucking scum on here.
Absolutely disgusting and vile your comment was – fucking city boy in disguise.
Billybowlegs, gotta defend stateside here, he’s a regular contributor, should we ask all our Irish fans to fuck off and play hurling, our Scottish fans to shoot deer, Our Welsh fans to herd Sheep ahem!
Offer opinion but don’t get into racial stereotypes fuck knows what you’d say about any muslims that attend OT or are fans around the world
Talksport saying UTD are likely to appeal
Well,the FA is becoming like Stalin`s Central Party Comitee. It`s OK to shoot people like Cole and throw darts at them like Twatoteli but swearing is a crime?!
@StateSide Aussie – Hats of to you man…being in India i know the Difficulty in watchin matches..GGMU ! !!
next stop…banning United players for scoring a goal.
This persecution of Rooney, coupled with Fergie’s ridiculous 5 game ban underlines perfectly the
authorities stance on anything to do with United. I don’t know how far United can fight this, but i strongly suggest we go all the way….CAS perhaps? The Fa need to be brought to book sooner rather than later because this is getting out of hand.
Rooney charged for swearing. – despite the fact that we can lip read players searing in every game. Remember Stevie Me telling Mike Dean to “Fuck off” to his face (and flashing the V’s just to underline his insult) and escaping any kind of punishment?
Fergie banned for being honest. – despite the fact that many manages have called into question referees integrity, commetns like “big clubs always get the big decisions”, “if that had been one our players he would have been sent off” are clearly accusations of bias on the part of referees.
Nani net getting nominated – despite the fact he is head and shoulders above any of the other nominees.
Berbs overlooked too – Nothing short of shameful.
Chelsea – regularly handed points by the FA and given special dispensation to attack opponents without fear of punishment.
But, thats what happens when you put the game in the hands of ABU wankers like the FA and Sky.
Fuck England, Fuck the FA and Fuck Sky.
@statesideaussie
please accept my sincerest apologies for my personal attack,it was uncallled for and uneeded,I`m sorry about the caps incident entirely,infact I didn`t really notice/realise that I was writing with caps on,either down to lazyness and just couldn`t be bothered to change it.
I am not racist or the like as someone pointed out,just very pissed off at the disgusting behaviour to which one of our own is being subjected to.
I think maybe my whole attitude and mood got out of control and therefore once again I apologise to you and anyone else who was offended by my disgusting behaviour.
I hope you will accept my apologies without thinking that it was a blatant,personal attack on your culture and your geographical location as that is not what it was, It was a very,very weak argument,just ignorant stupidity on my part.
I hope you all forgive me for my lack of manners and decorum,it will not happen again,I apologise profusely,I cannot apologise enough.
Hope everyone has a great day and here`s hoping the FA get what they deserve and that we show them what Man Utd is really all about.
Roll on no:19!!!
What are the papers up too now? They are the once started the witchhunt for Manchester Uniteds blood. I simply don´t trust them. We can handle our own stuff, we don´t need the press now when they have tried to make us bleed all season. Fuck em! Even the swedish media copy paste the fuckin articles from truthholders The sun on Rooney swearing, not his hattrick. Mighty funny!
King….I’m not having it. Calling the FA…Apes. Stop insulting Apes!!!!!
BBL – good on you….it takes a real man to apologise.
Billy, no worries, apology accepted, and I’m glad it’s done and dusted. you’ve got quite a turn of phrase there mate, and if directed at the cunts who really deserve it, I’m sure you’ll keep us all amused. Cheers.
Smartalex, matt and MG … cheers lads.
leaxan, being a long-distance fan sucks, but then again, no-one forced us to follow united, so in that sense, it’s our choice. congrats on the cricket WC by the way.
billybowlegs
Fair enough – I apologise for calling you a city boy in disguise
This is how we do things here – we do get a lot of shit but we handle that fine – welcome to the family
Thank you to everyone for accepting my apology especially stateside,I`m honoured to be welcomed into the family,don`t know why I never did it before!!
@ Stateside,I too remember 1977,but I was not fortunate enough to be inebriated with vodka as I was only 10,lol suffice to say,I have more than made up with the last 20 yrs or so with much drinking and debauchery,all be it while high on the drug that is M.U.F.C,such a great drug indeed it is,but as par the course I hate the comedowns(when we rarely lose) so here we go lads(family)here`s to no:19 and all the evil spite that will be aimed towards us from inferior quarters such as Sky and the likes,we are truly one of the worlds greatest institutions,without doubt and long may it continue!!
Have a great day everyone as a new era is dawning on the face of world football….
Welcome billybowlegs! Welcome!
@statesideaussie ,yeah sucks that we cant see matches at OT..but however the choice to support United is the best choice one can make…as for the cricket world cup,i wasnt too bothered..the comeback against West Ham & Wazza Stole the Show….
I don`t think the FA were happy with me this morning when I rang up….actually that is an understatement….I know Trevor Brooking was an ok player but let`s be honest…Him,Bernstein to which I made a remark about him being ex Man Citeh so and so and that it was “convenient” for Rooney getting a 2 game ban etc….being at the “top of the game” there are women on the streets of Manchester who are “more on top of the game” than they ever will be…suffice to say,the poor geordie guy was lost for words and subsequently terminated the phone call….I didn`t bother ringing back as my fingers were hurting too much from one handed press ups and I think the poor guy may have thought I was some kind of looney with my “strange” breathing pattern…well at least I got my tuppeneth in and have the number for future reference which undoubtedly I will need again.Oh,got reply from MUFC enquiries as well about alan tithead on ITV show yesterday….their press office is looking into it….he he he I hope so,would like to see Nick “fat smug bastard” Ferrari and Penny “i suck donkey cock” Smith getting their come-uppance and for Alan himself to be buried with his fucking beloved begonias….the twat.
Ha ha. Everyone happy on here. Fair play billy bowlegs.
I said to a mate earlier there is nothing better than when United build up this big a siege mentality. I have never known the abu s and the bias toward united be this bad. Its funny because this whole rooney and united witch hunt seems to have got all the fans together for the first time in a while. To piss off the cunts in the media , the fa and all the abu s when we get that nineteenth. The irony is its Rooney who may have just got us all singing from the same hymnsheet. That the thing I love about united. When a player is getting stick and scapegoated , united fans always get behind that player a hundred per cent. Like eric, becks, p nev, ronaldo rio. Etc.
Billybowlegs. Called main fa switch board myself but was on hold for fucking ages. I rang a different number where you could leave a recorded message. I went to town on the cunts.
@King Eric
you have to get in there early son,lol I managed….I`m damn sure you will….and don`t forget to let us know how badly you treat them…eg: Transcript of Inevitable call….lol,go on son,you know it makes sense,piss the cunts right off!! My middle finger is still hurting after giving SKY the “salute” all day…..
