Rooney apologises for diving

And the same goes for 'Pool fans defending Gerard and condemning Rooney....and it'll always be that way with rivals.

Not disagreeing, but for some (how shall I put it) mis-informed person to hop all over their keyboard in a ferver of angst, and talking utter tripe, without actually reading what I have said, now that's annoying.

emmm?

so Ferguson, the manager, wants him NOT to play.

Ronaldo, the player, wants to play.

Ronaldo plays the match, therefore, Ronaldo has gotten his way.

I just think Fergie of old would not put up with ****e from Ronaldo like the older Fergie does. He'd have been out on his ear after the summer, or at the minimum, groveling for forgiveness to the Utd fans.

I think you'll find that Ronaldo does not, in general get his own way in his dealings with Ferguson (this summers episodes come to mind)

Rooney, apologising is irrelevant, as already touched on he'll be at the same thing again possibly this weekend.
The only way to stop this play acting in the game is reviews of such incidents afterwards and 3 match bans being handed out for blatent diving bearing in mind that not all "falls" by a player are either dives or fouls, there are some fair challanges that result in players falling over.

Don't really get the Pires jibe. Pires once apologized for diving whilst playing for Arsenal in Europe, I think it was against Porto.

Rooneys diving was pathetic last night. It was cheating at the extreme, and I think that he should have been sent off for it.

So you wanted the referee to disregard the rule book and make it up off his own back and give rooney a straight red for unsporting behavior? You really must have been rocked to the core by it. :eek:

As I have said before, duplicity amuses me, the fact that some Manu supporters will bleat on about Drogba and Gerrard, and yet not one has said that Rooney deserved to be sent off is hilarious.

Alot about United seems to amuse you Hobart, hopefully you never get to go see them at Old Trafford because you might get lock jaw by grinning like an idiot for 90 minutes.

Rooney dived, it was bad, Rooney man enough to admit it, Good.

Why are you not so vocal about Gerrards, Torres or Reira diving?

In fact as you told me the other day that your sig is there to tell people how evil Ronaldo is, why don't you carry an essay about Drogba under your username?

I mean he dives more than anyone, has a huge attitude problem, could have taken the eye ball out of someone last week, and was out having din dins with another club official last night?

But for some reason that doesn't shock or "amuse" you, how come?

You might as well tell me, alot of people on here have already made there mind up why.

Eh, he dived, quite clearly, twice in the game on Tuesday. Once on the left hand side of the box (just outside i think) and once near the bye-line. 2 yellows.

and you seem to be suffering from the same problem that Tauren has. If you can actually bring yourself to read what I said (and funnily enough what you have quoted me saying) I sadi duplicty amuses me, and that could be duplicity could be from any supporter. You can quote me on that. As for being to OT. I have been there more times than at any other ground in the prem. i won't tell you the reason why, but's lets just say I think I might know the place a lot better than you would imagine.

Rooney dived, it was bad, Rooney man enough to admit it, Good.

Rooney had 2 blantant dives, you were either munching on a prawn sandwich or looking at Celtic.

Why are you not so vocal about Gerrards, Torres or Reira diving?

Because I support Liverpool.

In fact as you told me the other day that your sig is there to tell people how evil Ronaldo is, why don't you carry an essay about Drogba under your username?

In fact, I said nothing of the sort. Stop putting words in my mouth Boggles, Your telling porkies, and nobody likes a liar now....:rolleyes:

**** off - you said not one of the United fans had said Rooney should have been punished for his actions, which is a freaking lie. And yeah, it is a lie - cause I am one of the fans who was most vocal on the Gerrard dive, so you can claim I took what you said out of context, but i didn't, so stop lying.

No I did not. I said, and I'll repeat it for your benifit, that those who bleat on about Gerrard and Drogba will not come out and say Roooney was wrong.

Now, either read what I actually said or STFU. Ok?

Dude, you may want to practice what you preach here. You continually chastise people for picking and choosing what they quote and answer when responding to your posts. Boggles asked you a very simple question and you deliberately ignored it. And yes Boggles is right...

Boggles wrote: »

I've read you dig yourself into a hole over the past few pages.

As for Rooney; the dives were atrocious. Blaming Ronaldo or any foreigner like the panel did is pathetic. He's a grown man responsible for himself. He chose to do it. It's his fault. If I watch a horror movie with a serial killer in it and replicate it in real life a defense of "it's Hollywood's fault" wouldn't stand up to much. I'd be to blame. Rooney is to blame. No one else.
Drogba is a really annoying player to watch with all his antics. Wow, look at that. I support United, admitted Rooney was a disgrace and also think Drogba is a disgrace. But am I allowed say Drogba is infinitely worse than Rooney? Not sure. Hobart? Actually, no need to answer that.

Mr Alan

Jazzy wrote: »

sooooo, it turns out he did dive twice as i thought.

Mr. Presentable

Why should it matter that he apologised? He cheated, and had any benefit accrued from the dive, saying sorry wouldn't negate said benefit. The man is trying to minimise the fallout having seen the whole world saw him cheat.

He should not be applauded for his apology. He should be banned for a game as would have happened if he'd been booked for the offences.

Mr Alan

also worth noting, as far as i know, he didnt actually apologise, his manager said he did.

he has found the time to talk about Ronaldo in this mornings papers, an actual little apology for his dives may have made wat Ferguson said seem a bit more genuine.

Well your bleating loudest about Rooney, although he admitted he did wrong, nearly every one on here said he was wrong, my question again, why no bleats about Drogba, Gerrard or Torres? since you see yourself as the moralistic gatekeeper for everything sacred in soccer.

Will I tell you?

Because you are a seriously over jealous scouse fan that would argue the color of shíté if it involved a United player.

No Alan thats not worth noting out at all, and is sniping and petty as usual.

Mitch Connor

So, as far as you know, Ferguson is lying. Can you provide any edvidence to back up your claim (as you are saying Rooney DIDN'T appologise, Fergie just says he did)

Mr Alan

i didnt say he was lying. just saying that Rooney didnt say he apologised to anyone, Ferguson said he apologised to him.

utd fans always take everything Fergie says with a pinch of salt-they know wat he's like.

you cant pick and choose when to believe him so it suits you.

Are you going to admit you were looking at a different game, or munching a prawn sandwich. Why would I bother entertaining you, when you are clearly wrong? Answer me this Boggles, how many times did Rooney dive? Answer that.

And stop with your petty insults and childish rants. You and Tauren are like the fooking Chuckle Brothers, the issue being that they were actually funnier than you pair.

I have read the thread. And your humorous posts.
The premise is irrelevant to the question. The point as I'm sure you're aware was why you single out Ronaldo for your signature and not someone like Drogba. And as Boggles says the answer is quite clear. The fact you won't give an answer is quite clear.

Now, Alan, Hobart. I actually did read what Alan said, it appears neither of you bothered too (and changing what you have said to make yourself seem right doesn't count, Al)

What Alan said is: "he didnt actually apologise", that is completely different from saying Rooney didn't say he apolpgised.

Alans first post, states that as far as he knows, Rooney did not apologise and the implication is therefore that Fergie is lying. I would like to know where Alan got his information, cause as far as I know, Fergusons comments are the only ones available. So again, the initial comment from Alan is an accusation that Ferguson was lying, and I would like some backing for that.

No, it was not obvious, you stated he didn't apologise, not that he did not do it publically, and (making the assumption that he did apologise) why would not doing it publically invalidate the apology?

If you had wanted to make it obvious, you should have said we did not see or hear Rooney apologise.
