Lots of speculation flying around about the real reasons for Rooney's absence from the side. I must say I didn't notice any sign of injury when he came off the other week, nor did he seem to be suffering from any impairment in the shots of him walking around last weekend. Could it be that there is some truth in the blood test story after all - the lad does enjoy a bevvy or two and it might just account for him being off the pace so far this season.
Rooney is the one player who can go out, get tanked on 10 cans of Special Brew AND STILL perform to the standard he has been all season!! Leave the lad alone
When I saw the title "Rooney rumours" I thought it was going to be about his pre-disposition to ladies of the geriatric variety
