So video evidence is not enough these days? It would appear so as like you said he was acquitted. Sounds like the brown envelope tactic United are often accused of! He's a whiny little girl who couldn't take not having his record played.
It is indeed part of todays game obviously. Which is fine by me, but then I hear so often Gerrard says this and does that blah blah blah. Thing is, Rooney does it far more,Nani does it far more, Chicory does it often too, far too often for the amont of time he has been here. Rooney and the Elbow, not akin to Stevie on the pitch, Rooney desperately trying to get Luis sent off then Ivanivoc with what can only be described as ridiculous outlandish dives is again not something that is in Gerrards game, there is no comparison when it comes to dirt on the field, Rooney will do anythng to win at anythng because he is just not intelligent to work it out for himself so he defaults to that sort of thing. I think the "other" thread did draw some of the flies off this one as I had hoped. But here we are again, Gerrard dives ect, players dive, so what we know this since the 80s whenthe italians refined it as a trade tool. Players will take oopertunities to go down, lke Berba from aggers tap. That is part of hte modern game no doubt there they all do it. What they shouldn't do and not all players do is roll around like they've been poleaxed or elbow players in the face or go out on to the pitch with the intention of trying to get someone sent off before a ball is kicked, intending to dive before a ball is kicked. Rooney's forced apology for the dive against Valencia, what a lame PR stunt by Fergie that noone believed for a second it was a sincere apology, why bother, he did it again even more terribly later on in the CL more than once, Schalke Chelsea, terrible. With the Elbow at Wigan United supporters and Fergie furiously defended him for what was basically assault on the pitch and they mention Gerrard off the pitch in retort.. sad. I have given someone a slap, as have a lot of you in the past, what has that got to do with anything? I would not want to have any kid watch Rooney play now for the following reasons 1. Cheater, Dives when not touched far too often 2. Cheater, intends to target and get players sent off before the game even starts 2. Nasty little hobbit, tries to hurt opponents, braced elbow to the face while running, could have broke his jaw easily or damaged his neck eye nose, reallly wreckless play that deserved a red and a lenghty ban, it was Thatcheresque!?! and he got an 8 game ban for GBH on Mendez was it? Also wildly doing a flying scissor kick at a player from behind because he was dispossed, never even attempted to win the ball. 4. Never a role model, not that he has ot be. Not for Kids to watch, There are just far better players to learn a trade from that Rooney, Mentor he ain't. Hernandez arrives firing like a madman, scoring for fun, a few months with Rooney and he not misses lots and dives like hell, has the Rooney mentality ruined him already? 5. Really really stupid guy. Has not the common sense to not swear into a TV camera, instead of celebrating the bitter little golem would rather spout bile at a moment of success rather than celebrate, a little twisted I wonder what goes on in his head. With the likes of Fergie and Rooney is it any wonder United have spawned a generation of bad losers
man, I bow to your powers of articulation Someone give this guy a slap of a dictionary^ Please? Guys when the debate goes on to video evidence on hte gerrard thing, I mean thats what these losers do to derail threads, can we not just ignore them when tey spout unintelligent drivel as above^ utter **** crap talk sheite, the weapons of an uneducated fool.
Morning BBF Leaving the off field stuff out of it you are right Stevie never elbows anyone on the pitch http://youtu.be/gFhmUbHbW2o http://youtu.be/m0ML3eseP4M
especially when you see normal folk walking away from such things all of the time. Lets see if Ryan gets his 7 year stretch and we'll see about brown envelopes as a joe soap would definately to down for knowingly misleading the court to gain an injunction. SHOCKER!! Look at this, Faye if closer would have gotten his face smashed and then rooney telling him to fk off repeately afterwards, little scumbag, defend this then U1R you idiot it still aint part of his game and the second is no rooney Elbow for sure, first I am not happy about, not good, but I am talking wayne, you made yer point and I certainly cannot say he hasn''t done it, but keep it wayne, you get no brownie points using Gerrard on a Wayne Rooney thread I'm afraid, it appears that the undeniable truth hurts I have yet to see once defence of Rooney, going by all the Gerrard references Your links belong in the Stevie thread on the united board maybe? I also like the way you ignored everything else for that one nugget, nice, proves my point about ye lot
Neither are really elbows smashed into the face though. first one is a foul but he just jumps into him with his arm. second one: again a foul but how do you elbow somebody if you are running after them?
I didn't realise we had to define types of elbows ? The second one - I don't know how but the camera does that he did ?
So everytime an elbow or forearm touches a part of a persons head that constitutes an "elbow" worthy of a red an a ban?
I understand what you're saying about the first one, you see this sort of thing a few times every game. It is a foul but often the referee just says he had his eyes on the ball etc. However, I don't know how you can defend the 2nd one. Gerrard clearly raises his arm into Browns head with force. It makes no difference he's running behind him, it just means he hits him in the back of the head
It's all very simple. The OP has tried to examine an element of Rooney's behaviour that he, the OP, feels is unacceptable. Pointing out that other people do the same thing is not a defence- full stop.
Second is flailing arms handbags, first one was not nice, but what is really stupid is united fans going on about Gerrard, it is te same with everything, don't look at yourself, look for faults in others and just keep lying to yourselves. Ye have a scumbag of a player, sliding down the slippery Barton slope. Good luck with that!
Not really defending it but it was just a bit of arms flailing rather than an elbow, honestly try it out for yourself, run after a friend and then see how much impact you get if you try to elbow them from behind as they run away from you.
I've never tried to defend diving, it's just a pointless argument because it happens weak in weak out and it's not going to stop any time soon. The only reason we started showing the gerrard diving stuff was because of this post When he has done in the past. The elbow thing i don't think any of us have said was not disgusting and unacceptable, but when we post the gerrard one, Which is a bit daft if you ask me. if you want to know how to watch the video. It's a nice tutorial EDIT: Just seen your post. I agree it get's less impact, but a blow to the back of the head hurts and it's not as though the intent wasn't behind it I know it's a Rooney thread and the diving and elbowing is daft and a disgrace, but what do you expect us to do?
Display your dsigust on the stevie thread, this is a lfc thread on Rooney for lfc supporters, erm... dont look at this thread, are you really that ******ed that you cant not respond? I havent put one post on the stevie appreciation thread so, ?? even though most of it is just pure abuse, this is a discussion until ye lot drag it down. Must learn some some self control if you cant help yourself posting matey, seriously
Nobody has defended Rooney so I don't know where you are getting that from ? We respond as it's a bit rich to to say Rooney does this and that when Gerrard does the same. Most of the Stevie thread is pure abuse ?? Look again. As for rsponding, even your own fans know this thread was set up to get a response and was always going to get one. Even you know that and if you don't I think you should look a little closer to home for the ******.
