How should Rooney be punished for saying some swear words?

I'm sure all the parents that were watching the football with their children (like my dad does with his daughter (my step sister)) were thrilled to have some fat ogre swear on the tele were thrilled.

Seeing as my sister will pretty much repeat anything that is said.

God help you if you ever go to an actual game - perhaps you bring some headphones or some Kleenex to cry into when the fans use some bad language.

There a difference between a fan swearing, and a player swearing.

Fucking hell.

I'm saying if a parent of a small child is watching it at home with them it's a massive problem. Learn to read...

Like Dan said, there's a reason there's a watershed and swearing and such isn't allowed...

Look at Van Persie there, is it me or does he start telling the crowd to fuck off?

Then another Arsenal player comes in and goes, FUCKING YES.

Fair enough, atleast he's admitted he made a mistake rather then just pretending it never happened or something.

“I want to apologise for any offence that may have been caused by
my goal celebration, especially to any parents or children that were
watching,” said Rooney. “Emotions were running high and on
reflection my heat of the moment reaction was inappropriate, it was not
aimed at anyone in particular.”

They've not directly stared into the camera and done it in fairness to them.

What are people complaining for though, they're saying kids shouldn't hear swearing.. right there you hear loads of swearing so imo all this fuss kicked up is a load of shit.

Nah, instead Van Persie told the fans to fuck off twice.

Go to a football game, you expect to hear swearing. Watch it on TV, you don't expect to see a player look directly down the camera and swear.


Simple as that, if you want to continue with this 'everyone is against Rooney' 'it's only because it's United' routine. Carry on. Everyone can see it holds absolutely no weight..

Why are you bringing United into this as well, it's about Rooney as an individual.

When he does something it gets blown out of proportion.

The first one hopefully.
