Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United and England forward, has been charged by the FA for the use of offensive, insulting and/or abusive language, following Manchester United's match against West Ham United at Upton Park on Saturday lunch-time.
Who says the FA is on United's side, you just love making big talks out of nothing(don't you) FA gave fergie a 5-match ban, do you think anyone is crazy enough to think FA favors United after that. You force ppl to piss on united.
yes but two matches is fair. A good player, but not clever at all. He should be a role model. A 5 year old kid could be a better role model than him. Probably he will use his ban to buy some ladies.
Wow your really gonna use the cantona incident though?? He jump kicked a fan in the crowd! That ain't picking on the player and if you think it is your insane he totally deserved the ban.
JT did a bad thing last year, did he get a ban? Ashley cole shot a kid, did he get a ban? Balotelli threw darts at young players, did he get a ban?
You know why coz these incidents happened off-the field and the most FA can do is charge money while Rooney said the word not once but twice on national television, so he got charged with match-ban as simple as that(the incident happened on the field).
If you don't like the decision of FA file a lawsuit against them :))
Banning him seems harsh, maybe a decent fine would've sufficed IMO. The argument is, by directly facing the camera, up close, deliberately saying it, it's like he's swearing to the millions of kids and elders watching the game around the world as opposed to saying it in the middle of the pitch, away from the microphones where it would be more innocuous (though I'm sure everyone knows how to lip-read the word f***).
I would say a 1 match banned would be right so he can learn, a fine would meant nothing to Footballer especially as he earn as much as some people earn in two years lol but two match banned that is too harsh
And people say the Fa are on our side, lol. Guess it's a ban for offensive chants at stadiums aswell, we all hear them.

someone show me this rule that hes broken to get banned... because as far as I know its only a ban when directed towards officials...
they'll give him a 1 match ban plus a fine after he appeals.
