2 games ban for Wayne Rooney for swearing in front of the camera. Ashley Cole shot someone with an air rifle, nothing happens.
That had nothing to do with a game or the EPL. If I crash my car, I won't expect the FA to ban me. That was just an accident. Essien also needs a few games ban to be fair.

And Rooney's a hillbilly retard for cussing like that.

Lets be honest the Fa don't really care how often Rooney swears while on the pitch but swearing at the camera on pictures to be shows the world over caused them to react. the only reason Rooney got a ban is because the FA know that they have to give fellatio to the television companies who's money "keep the dream alive" they know that they rely on brand Premiership to market their product and a player swearing into a camera is bad for their image.
the last thing the FA needs is companies being turned off their product due to the lack of respect,discipline and control some players are viewed to perpetrate.

Yes, everyone swears on the pitch. Rooney however wants the whole world to hear him. As if he's sending a message too valuable to be missed.

Who was he even referring to? "Fuck you" on camera :lol:

The FA today confirmed that Wayne Rooney would serve a two match ban for swearing after he scored his hattrick against West Ham. Even journalists who salivate at the thought of slagging off Manchester United, like Oliver Holt, have admitted what a balls up the FA have made of this.

So, how is it possible that the FA could have got it so wrong?

Two words.

David Bernstein.

The former Manchester City board member and chairman was appointed the chairman of the FA at the start of the year. When leaving City he said: “I would like to thank our wonderful fans for their backing. They have been fantastic in their support, which has never wavered even during the most difficult times. I have been touched by their kindness and enthusiasm. I have supported Manchester City since I was a boy and I am desperate for us to succeed.”

We’ve seen just how desperate he is for that today, ensuring that Rooney is banned for the FA Cup semi-final, City’s final hope of silverware this season in their 35th year since they last won a trophy.

How Vidic did not get sent off at weekend is beyond me, United should count themselves lucky.
:(

Tell me about it. And we was 2-0 up at the time too. Even when he should have been sent off the 2nd time.

Decisions like these have a massive impact. Ref bottled it.

He did indeed, felt sorry for you guys at weekend. Never a penalty for United either.
I went livid at the ''non sending off'' as i knew Manure would get a goal at some point and probably worse for us get a point. Carltons foul was another dubious one as contact was literally on the line, but penalty was given. But the upson incident was a soft call, and if you look carefully before the ref made his desicion, look at what the linesman had given..........he pointed his flag for a corner as the ref was staring at him.

I've watched Man Utd for 20 years and up until recently you've had a vast majority of things go your way compared to against. It's actually pretty laughable how you can even attempt to cover up all the things that have gone United's way in the PL years with what has happened recently. But it's not a Man Utd thing, you aren't doing anything other than have Fergie put pressure on refs as always, it's just that now there are 3-4 very wealthy and influential clubs, before there was only 1.
Exactly.

True. He's allowed to tell the ref to 'fuck off', or 'fuck off you prick' all the time, blame it on frustration or whatever, but it's beautiful because their long leash means he has suffered abroad by refs who don't pamper him. Just don't tell the audience to 'fuck off', that's crossing the line.

All big clubs have decisions in their favour in England, it wouldn't be fair to say that only United got dodgy decisions in their favour.
And there was more than 1 wealthy club in England, Arsenal were very strong at the start of this decade and they were wealthy and influential.

United fans moaning about decisions :lol:

Have you recently only become a United fan Nedved?
United fan since about 1997

And there's a PK that isn't given to the team that "never receives any calls."

Man United supporters are worth less than dog shit. Fair-weather fucking morons.
