Topic: Wayne Rooney

[Felch Aid]

Colleen married a gold mine. She's not stupid. I'm also pretty sure she knows what he's like.

He'll come grovelling back and she'll spit out number 5 next year.

[No666]

Given his spending, she'd be better off bailing now and taking care of half the fortune for the kids. Rooney is going to get through the lot in five/ten years. He has no moral compass. It's different to George Best, for example, who simply became bored by his own talent.

[Ziltoid]

I bet he can't wait to run out to Z cars at the weekend.

 

[RedKenWah]

nah, not really...i think he's just a normal working class kid who still hasn't come to terms with having ridiculous amounts of money and all the women he can shake his tool at - the game is and always has been full of them...and you can bet a pound to a pinch of shit that the antics he's just been copped for happen every weekend up and down the country, albeit anonymously......Gascoigne on the other hand is a genuinely troubled soul with issues that appear to go far beyond the travails of yer usual footy player, Rooney included

I can agree that football has players who are similar or worse than Rooney in respect of how they live their life. I only compare Rooney to Gascoigne though to in respect that i wonder if Rooney will fall the same way as Gascoigne has gone after football is done with him. I don't see Wayne Rooney as the type to go on as a manager to keep himself occupied, and i certainly don't see him as a regular pundit (aka Jamie Carragher/Gary Neville - albeit you can bet that Sky/BBC would be very interested in getting him onboard). I wonder once its all over for him playing wise, what will he do. Clearly as has been mentioned he has fallen into the trap of spending a ridiculous amount at casino's, and he won't be able to carry on doing that forever.

As i say though, hopefully he'll sort himself out and it all turns out well for him but you have to wonder.

Gazza is an addict and has struggled with mental illness.  I don't think Rooney can be in any way compared to him.

[Peabee]

Yeah, the comparisons with Gazza are ridiculous.  Rooney was stupid and dangerous for driving while drunk, but he's allowed to go for a bevy with his mates.   

[sinnermichael]

Wayne Rooney has been given a two-year driving ban, a 12-month community order and 100 hours of unpaid work.

I guess he can claim he's already giving back to the disadvantaged by signing for Everton.

I don't think it was boredom that caused Bests downfall. It was his alcoholism

Agree. They're not even remotely similar

[elsewhere]

So now that he can't drive, who is gonna take him to trainings?

[SandyShore]

Fucking hell, all those expensive cars sitting in the driveway and he can't even drive them. Kinda feel sorry for him.
 

[BlackandWhitePaul]

It's not like the fat fuck will be out on the streets picking litter up or cleaning graffiti off bus shelters is it.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

The smile on his face when he was told it was 100 hours community service in his local Age Concern centre.

[Walshy nMeŽ]

Isn’t that a bit lenient, being 3 times over the limit and all that.

Wouldn’t most normal folk be locked up for being that far over?

[FiSh77]

more importantly, will coleen drop him off at the brass house and pick him up when he's done?

Be like giving an Alcy community service clearing tables in Wetherspoons.

[۩ Imperator ۩]

Call me naive, but I thought his statement read as genuinely remorseful. He does seem to have acknowledged his mistake and seems to want to put it right. I'm no fan of the lad, but I hope I am right and that he has learned from his stupidity.

Not for a first offence I don't think.

He blew 104, against a limit of 35. 120 is where the jail time kicks in.

[The North Bank]

At least someone at Everton still knows how to pick up points.

I don't think Rooney is a bad person, just a stupid one who makes stupid, childish mistakes with his money. He's a good person deep down despite the prossies and cheating and drinking, just one who is gone mad with his money and doesn't know what to do having that much with the background he's come from. I'm not saying aww diddums, he's clearly a tit, but he's actually a decent enough fella I think behind the mistakes.

Do you know the lad personally?

You don't get given any points for drink driving.

[Jimmy Conway]

Typical Everton then

I'm not sure how you can say that when the lad has confessed to cheating on his wife and has publicly humiliated her and his family on multiple occasions.

Infact, he was probably in that car because he didn't want to get into a taxi and risk being seen going back to that girl's place. Backfired massively.

[SP]

It also reads as exactly what a PR person would publish for him in this situation. To mollify his sponsors, he was always going to release something like that. He may be genuinely remorseful, I just can't tell from the public statements.

[Fiasco]

The way I see it? If you take a kid from a council estate who has nothing and give him everything in a short space of time you have to expect mistakes. The question should be, at almost 32, should he still be making those same mistakes?


Absolutely not. Not one of this magnitude. I don't think he's a c*nt. I think he's foolish and probably is a good guy to be around and is seemingly very generous. But the worry for me is what happens when those boots finally hang up.

[Purple Red]

Wayne Rooney has been given a two-year driving ban, a 12-month community order and 100 hours of unpaid work.

That'll probably be much more enjoyable than his current paid work in fairness.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

That fine is a joke,they should be set as a percentage of the criminals salary.

It is not a fine. It is court costs.

He will be fined 2 weeks wages by Everton.

How is he going to kerb crawl for hookers without a car?

Nice one 👍

Its not a fine, he got community work hours instead of a fine. The judge said he didn't think a fine would be effective.

Agreed, i met him at a WHS Smith book signing and he seemed a top bloke very shy and humble, a good dad who fucked up with his marrige. Men are human so mistakes happen in all relationships, the bloke had been in the spotlight since the age of 16 odd, not suprising he has some issues but Coolen is still with him so she must still have trust in him and want to make it work.

[Crosby Nick]

You intentionally bought a Wayne Rooney book?

[SandyShore]

Mate come on, you don't meet someone famous every day? He was there to sign a book not make Liverpool FC jokes.
