[Efcjake]

Southgate probably told him he's not picking him and gave him the chance to announce retirement

ERRR NO
he was offered a return and said thanks but no thanks .... do check before posting wham there's a good chap

Hot take on Rooney from Ireland

I literally wet myself
That's hilarious
"Come on Everton town "
Lol

So glad when he came back to Everton and made up he has retired from international football as a Scotsman found it difficult watching my football hero playing for england.

To be fair mate, his laughable Besic love-in had nearly made several posters retire from GOT, so it would come as no real surprise.

...it is amazing how much he grabs the world headlines. Listening to RKs pre-match conference and the number of Rooney related questions. Doing the morning transfer round-ups gives a real insight into Rooneymania, saw his international retirement covered in the Trinidad and Tobago Times this morning.

Everton's profile being raised around the world. It also demonstrates the gold fish bowl he lives in and has to manage with dignity.

@Soap your thoughts mate?

I am chuffed for the lad. I hope he keeps banging in the goals. Retiring from England is good news too.

But I personally think he is running on adrenaline at the moment. I just can't remove his awful 3 seasons at Utd out of my head.

Look, if I keep saying he will be rubbish then he will keep proving me wrong and everyone is happy.

Our game against Hajduk Split is on tv in US. In Spanish, but still counts. That doesn't happen without him being here.

...it is amazing and I'm sure it was a factor in the club wanting him.

Given everything to the cause again tonight. Great example to the rest of the squad.

If the fans who were against his return haven't changed their minds by now they never will.

I was against him but he's proved me wrong. What I didn't expect was his complete selflessness and work ethic.

He's been the glue that's held the team together these first few games.

Wasn't keen. But he's proving me wrong. Good. What's not to like?
