Further proof if ever it was needed that you really have no clue in general.

Not at all Tom, further proof that it's only Man United players that go around elbowing people all the time, they're always at it, with their feckin' elbows, outrageous carry on!!

Perhaps it's time that victims of these assaults started reporting them to the police (who are bound to act) as The FA don't seem willing to hand out any sort of punishment to the offenders.

Legitimate tactic! The Rock practically built a career off a famous elbow, and he's generally regarded as the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

Therefor, by a highly intelligent process of logical thinking, Wayne Rooney is THE most electrifying man in the Premier League.

Proof? He's been shocking for nearly a year now. Zing! :pac:

How many games did agger get for elbowing torres in the face a few weeks ago and how many outraged pool supporters here praised it?

I think a fuss is generally kicked up only when it involves a top 4 club.

I took out the 'Rooney is a lovely chap...' bit from the title as it was not helping.There is a issue here and feel free to discuss it but without the abuse and or trolling.

If you took that out of Rooney's game, would he still be the same player? Or does that cliche only work when players are playing well?

Any one gotta count on how many posts were dedicated to the Rooney alleged elbow incident?
seeing as elbow was not mentioned in the report are we to assume it didn't happen offically?:D:D:D:D

Video technology as you said is a must,FIFA are so far behind other sports.
Easy to have an offical watching TV coverage on the sideline and advising the referee on anything that happens.

Anyway, for the record I think the ref got it badly wrong. Highlights the inconsistancies in PL refereeing tbh.

Rooney's a lucky boy.

adox

What I don't get is how the French FA could ban Evra aft the world cup? And what about that storm in a tea cup with Cantona? Banning him for a little dispute like that? Did they not realise who he plays for? Ferdinand banned for not being able to piss? Again do they not realise he is a Man Utd player?

I guess it's cause they are all foreigners. If any of them were Engerlish they'd have gotten away with it.......or not!

Silly FA rule enforced numerous times in the past suddenly= Man Utd favouritism/English bias.


Ludicrous of course, but it certainly makes for somewhat entertaining threads. Probably in the wrong forum though. :P

Do you think Rooney should have received a ban?

What's he referring to here? I'm confused. Is "scum" referring to Liverpool or Utd? Is he referring to the suns involvement in the Hillsborough tragedy? Coz that would be very loose use of the term "a few years".

No its not. I wouldn't have asked if it was obvious. Simple yes or no (you don't NEED to answer it). Just wondering.

I thought because the ref never showed a yellow it meant it could be looked at again? And even though the ref did give a free for it what did he actually give the free for? This game is so stupid sometimes.

K-9

I think on Gerrard, most Pool fans didn't take the bait on it.

Most of us agreed it was wrong and just ignored the usual haters. I'd advise United fans to do the same.

Though apparently, ignoring the haters means you are condoning what Gerrard did, so you can't win so just give up!

Think everybody agrees it's a stupid rule but they are the rules. Change it and apply for everybody.

It was Brown though so Gerrard gets more of a pass! :cool:

There was a fair bit of comment on it at the time, the usual "any other player wouldn't get away with this" type bull.

Another player did, Rooney!

Not from me

Gerrard has gotten away with plenty, see the Brown incident, the Wellbeck incident (two most recent i can think of) but others get away with stuff too

Terry isnt above getting the soft treatment for example

Rooney generally doesnt actually get the soft treatment, he doesnt deserve it either, none of them do

Shearer threatened to never play for England again if the FA punished him over something once iirc. Bit of a hypocrite isnt he

Sorry, just hate Alan Shearer and couldnt let that opportunity pass me by

Remember when that chap vicously headbutted Shearer right in the foot, shameful

During the Summer you could have actually have a discussion on this, not that there is much up for discussion, when you take out the personalities!

Howabout we just accept that everyone is a moron,

The fa are morons
gerrard is clearly a moron
rooney is a moron with weird sexual interests
a cole is moron and an idiot with the intelligence of a squirrel
jt is a moron and a arseface
berba is a moron...cause he just is.
fergie pays the refs and its all a conspiracy

Lets just accept that everyone in football is moronic and that everyone hates everyone else for the sake of it.

McCarthy has just received a ban for head butten Rooneys elbow .

True .

Just seen a 2 page spread there on Ryan Giggs career .What a Pro !
Competitive til the end but never over steps the line .
Probably admired by all football fans ( some won't admit ) .

Now putting the elbow aside ...

Comparing Rooney short career in comparison to Giggs , I'm gonna call it as it is .
Rooney is a scumbag , fantastic talent , but a scumbag .
No matter who you support ( but especially
UTD for this incident ) , don't condone this behaviour . Should never be allowed or go unpunished if a Ref sees it or not.

My rant goes for all such elbows and dangerous tackles including the Gerrard and other videos posted on this thread .

Sweet jesus, that old chestnut!

It's really simple, he should have walked for it, making United's chances of winning a must win game so much harder and fot that unproffesionalism alone I would hope Fergie would have a stern word with him (along with his sideline argument with the gaffer, another offense I would hope Fergie would have a 'chat' with).
The problem is solely with Clattenburg and the FA as their own rules block handcuff them to certain protocals and if Clattenburg says he seen the offence and gave the correct decision then nothing can be done about it. The difference with Rio's elbow last season was he stupidly done it off the ball and thus the ref could not have seen it and the FA did not even have to consult him on it.

Although I do agree with some posters, the rules have to be changed and the media and FA need to be just as outraged when its any player doing such silly things, not just Rooney. As a United supporter I have given up defenindg him, his attitude has stunk this season and I am beginning to care less and less if he returns to form.

Pauleta

The rules have to change but they wont. The 4 british nations and the other lads from FIFA on the rules committee will always live in the dark ages. Its time to for clubs to leave FIFA and start a new governing body that is not future-phobia and all these clowns that are against modern advances to football can stick with FIFA and slowly die off or build a time machine and go back to the 70s

Nothing done about this either. Stranger still was the ref didn't even give a free kick even though he said he'd seen it.

Clattenburg made a massive mistake. Rooney did something reckless and stupid. Ferguson has embarrassed himself in dealing with it. The FA have made a mockery of fairness in the sport and should look at this incident next time they accuse someone of bringing the game into disrepute.

I think the only person coming out of this with any credibility is McCarthy.
