Wayne Rooney - My Fake Diary

Sunday, 22 July 2012

Mail Quote: "Wayne Rooney once swore at referee Graham Poll 27 times in the first half alone during a Manchester United match against Arsenal in 2005 and the FA's subsequent Respect programme has appeared to make little difference to on-field swearing.

If they (the FA) feel as a result of the John Terry trial that this needs clamping down on, and I would entirely understand why they think it might, then they have the means at their disposal to do it.

I personally have never understood why this thing is tolerated in football and I would have thought tougher penalties for foul language would in general speaking are a good thing, but it is a matter for the FA."

Cough cough!
