=coyney;212893]Dave,when Fowler did his line thing

I thought that was class in all honesty, but Fowler and anyone else is different, Rooney was MEANT to be 1 of us, once a blue always a blue, i will never critise him for leaving. He has got to think of himself and as much as it hurt i didnt blame him for leaving, but his conduct since he left has been nothing short of shocking.

If Duncan Ferguson was there...

"Whats Rooney up too? Kissing his badge! He's just been carded, Better watch... Oh! Duncan Fergusons picked him up! He's! Oh My God! Theres blood everywhere!"

Rooney storm - United star facing FA probe after kissing his badge incites former fans

Wayne Rooney faces the threat of a Football Association charge for inciting fans of former club Everton by kissing his Manchester United badge during yesterday's stormy 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he had immediately substituted Rooney because he feared the England striker would be sent off, but that prompt action may not be enough to save the player from disciplinary action.

After enduring an afternoon of abuse from the supporters who once idolised him, Rooney's suspect temperament erupted again in the 69th minute after he was booked by referee Alan Wiley for a foul on Mikel Arteta.
When the Everton fans responded with their loudest barracking yet, Rooney responded by kissing the United badge on his shirt. Wiley immediately ran over to speak to Rooney, but Ferguson had seen enough and replaced him with Nani two minutes later.
Ferguson said: 'I didn't know why he was booked and I had a fear about the way the referee was behaving. I just didn't think the referee was giving our players proper protection, I saw some bad tackles and it is the referee's job to protect players. The crowd were reacting and I thought he might get sent off, so I had to take him off.'
Everton boss David Moyes said: 'I didn't see the incident and it's not my business.' But the FA may well take a different attitude when they see footage of the game.

High stakes: Everton's Mikel Arteta goes airborne
For United, a disciplinary case for Rooney would add insult to the injury of a result which left the reigning champions five points behind the Premier League's joint leaders, Chelsea and Liverpool - who meet in a crunch match this afternoon at Stamford Bridge - and surprise package Hull, who beat West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns courtesy of three secondhalf goals by Kamil Zayatte, Geovanni and Marlon King. Hull entertain Chelsea on Wednesday night.
The FA will wait to read referee Riley's report and the views of the match assessor before deciding whether the incident was serious enough to merit a charge. Merseyside Police may also express their concern.

When Rooney's United team-mate Gary Neville ran the length of the pitch to celebrate wildly in front of Liverpool fans after Rio Ferdinand's late winner at Old Trafford in January 2006, Greater Manchester Police told the FA they believed his behaviour had contributed to public disorder after the match.
The former England international was charged with improper conduct and fined £5,000.

I didnt care to be honest, it made me laugh more than anything, i just hope all those ppl who said they would have him back saw the light. I dont care how good he is meant to be, yes hes in good form at the moment, but he still isnt even close to the 17 year old who lit up our season.

It's not that I care, him kissing the badge, because lets be honest, it's been quite clear from the moment he left us, he doesn't care about Everton, and most probably never has.

I think theres more to the way he left to be honest. Forced to go perhaps? We had no money then either so was the 20 odd mil to much for the board to resist? Remember Gregg went not long after when he was paid back what he'd put in. Something just stank about the whole thing but thats another thread so I'll let it go for now.

In the end, I think the Rooney transfer has proved to be the better for Everton. At least we've got some money for squad strengthening. It's the timing of the transfer that ennoys me more than everything. Rooney put Everton's back to the wall and that's something I'll never forgive him. after all he was a so called Blue for life.

He's not even looked at as being a Scouser anymore. I keep waiting for his accent to change

Its not just the incident yesterday, the whole of last week he gave interviews about scoring his 100th goal at goodison etc, he set the tone for any abuse he received, he was adding fuel to the fire before the game even kicked of.

Im not condoneing the abuse he received as personaly i dont agree with it, but id be lying if i said i wasnt angry with his needless comments during the week or his actions yesterday. A section of our support will always give him abuse, but it has to be said he does little to try and draw a line under the whole saga himself both on and of the field which continues to rile those supporters with a more even and considered temper of which i would include myself.

Agreed, but no one wants to hear those things mate. They've got the whiff of blood in their nostrils and want a scapegoat for the whole stinking affair. Rooney kissing a badge gives them a nice easy way out of forgetting those complicated things. Kenwright must have been pissing himself laughing again.

Good post, mate. It also occurred to me that he shouldn't have been saying he wanted to score his 100th goal against us. It just shows so little respect, and even in footballers' circles, it is considered wrong to celebrate against a previous team, if it is the case that you were poached from them. He's a classless idiot, and no doubt he and Coleen, dim-wits that they are, spend hours slagging off their own people because they believe that they're better people. But the last laugh will be on them. Because when Wayne has retired, he and Coleen will drop out of the media spotlight. They're not the next Posh and Becks, despite what Mrs "I've got fat legs" Rooney would like to believe

But importantly, no matter what Rooney throws at us, we shouldn't react to him in a way that has sometimes occurred. Call him a fat get, a Judus and so on. That's part of football, and long may the banter continue. But the constant hate that he's received is going too far.

Still, he is a little prick.

Its been proved in a court of law that Everton acted properly in the whole affair, but you are right about ppl wanting a scapegoat, i guess for some that becomes the club and BK. Myself i would rather blame the little clown who cant keep his mouth shut and who struts around OUR pitch like hes better than us, hes not better than us, he can just play football better.

 

[Nebbiolo]

Ithe little clown who cant keep his mouth shut and who struts around OUR pitch like hes better than us, hes not better than us, he can just play football better.

Exactly. Challenge the little runt to an IQ contest, and then see which is the better man.
