Good to see being named captain of club and country hasn't stopped him being a petulant little sod. Disgraceful tackle yesterday.

Didn't say that at all, but seems a strange choice by both Hodgson and LVG to make him captain when he has that in him. Both had good model pro candidates like Cahill and RVP.

Six in his career though for a striker isn't a great record, would've probably had plenty more if Fergie hadn't taken him off several times when he was at simmering point.

To say if Fergie hadn't taken have him off it would have been more is pure BS, FACT! Who's to say if he had taken him off he wouldn't have scored 4 goals in each game? Simmering point doesn't mean a red card. |

It just shows his lack of intelligence. He needed to just give the player a tug, stopped the game, allowed his defence to prepare, and accept the booking. Instead it was a terrible kick at a player which put his team on the defensive for the rest of the game.

I actually didn't think it was that bad a challenge. I was watching it with a mate and we were both very surprised when the red card was pulled out. Honestly think if it was anyone other than Rooney there wouldn't be much of a fuss being made right now. While, I don't actually think it was malicious - he was trying to trip the guy and horribly mistimed it and then panicked. I think I've seen plenty of challenges like that receive yellow cards only. Generally think Rooney get a lot of abuse he doesn't really deserve because he looks like people's idea of a thuggish footballer. In reality most of the trouble he's got into over the years has been more stupid and petulant than nasty and off the pitch his main reputation round the Manchester and Cheshire area is for being extremely boring rather than a bigtime Charlie. People just don't like him - Gazza got away with far, far worse on and off the pitch and is still lauded by most as a 'character'. If Rooney did half what Gazza did people would be screaming for his United contract to be torn up.
