"HARRY MET ROONEY TUNES WITH A SALVO"
"
OH no, Wayne! Man Utd fan or not, there was probably a collective sigh heard around the world when Wayne Rooney unleashed his expletive-laden tirade right down the barrel of the TV camera last weekend.
It was probably best summed up by Harry Rednapp when he said: "Silly boy." It's not the first time Rooney has let himself down, though, and probably not be the last.
His list of misdemeanors is fairly extensive but he's by no way in a club of his own. As we know too well in this part of the world, rugby and league stars are forever finding themselves in the press for all the wrong reasons.
But do fans expect too much from their superstars? Having been part of such an environment for many years, most could never be accused of being the sharpest tools in the shed.
I've seen two Premier League team-mates almost come to blows arguing over who was the "dumbest". A paradox in the extreme!
It can be argued they have a duty to uphold standards at all times because they're role models for millions of youngsters around the world. That, I think, is a fair expectation. Nobody wants to see Kiwi youngsters blurting F-bombs every time they score a goal because they think it's an acceptable way of celebrating.
Rooney's been punished for his actions, and rightly so.
But a two-match ban simply isn't long enough to really teach him, or youngsters, anything.
On a brighter note, today's domestic final between reigning champons Waitakere United and Auckland City looks set to be an exciting game.
As the pinnacle of domestic football in New Zealand, hopefully decent numbers will turn out too.
A major reason to support it is that there'll be a number of talented youngsters on show, not least Waitakere's Tim Payne, who starred for the under-17s in their recent World Cup qualifying campaign.
Auckland City probably go in as favourites after dominating the recent clashes between the two. I'd hate to write off the Westies' chances but the experience of City's All White, Ivan Vicelich, and a few of his cohorts might prove too much on the big occasion.

"Rooney's been punished for his actions, and rightly so.

My Opinion, Mr Hay and I am a MUFC...Southern 'RED DEVIL' Belle supporter from 'GODZONE' like you...
Wayne Rooney and his "Foul Mouth", as it happens I do agree with the punishment meted out to him from the Regulatory Commission. His statement,"I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won't be the last" is no excuse whatsoever. Firstly, he represents and is a member of Manchester United Football Club, Rooney IS NOT THE CLUB! Secondly, by now after all his on and off the 'PITCH ANTICS' one would think he would have learnt a few lessons and would wish to just get on with the job that he is paid and might I add, (demanded more money OR he'll cuss off!) to do.
I doubt very much that Wayne Rooney understands what the definition of 'Professional' is and when he swore into the camera, which is the window paid for by us the viewing consumer to watch a football game, he swore at the 'World'.
Young children could have been watching the game and to have his mug and his mouth leering into the window at them could be nightmare stuff and also for those with a sensitive disposition.
As for the stance taken by the Football Association, at a Culture, Media and Sport Committee hearing into 'Football Governance' on the 29th March, 2011, Mr David Bernstein Chairman, of the Football Association said, " There is a great deal, clearly, that needs to be done in football and we believe that the FA should be a leader and seen to be the leader of the game in this country and should provide, in many ways, what might perhaps be dangerously described as moral leadership as well".
The clear indications is that this "moral leadership" is now been put into practice.
Poor timing on Wayne Rooney's part, OR just a habit i.e. tongue, that will obviously have to be curbed if he and other players' do not wish to become intimate with the bench or stuck at home watching the game through the same window that got Wayne into trouble in the first instance.
