FA have investigated Rooney elbowing

[lawrieleslie]

and because ref said he didn't think that there was any intent FA are to take no further action. Heard this on talksport this morning. Anybody got any official links for this story.

[JoeinOz]

Just can't believe the ref saw nothing wrong with it. Thats astonishing.

Rooney’s swipe at Abdoulaye Faye in Friday’s 1-0 win incensed the Stoke player but was missed by referee Chris Foy and the FA will not be taking action

Great.

So Ronaldo gets away with 2 red-card kick-outs at Michael Dawson and Andy Wilkinson in successive Premier League games

And Shrek gets away with a stamp in the Champions League, and an elbow that would have fractured Abdy's cheek.

Justice?

if that had been fuller, he'd have gotten a ban. what a load of b-------.

[bunnyscfc]

in fairness, I too was miffed, but thinking about it - do we want their best 2 players banned for games against teams around us?

A sad state of affirs to think like that, I know, but needs must....

[Lakeland Potter]

Of course we now want ManU to be up to strength to beat our competitirs, Bunny. But I wouldn't have minded them being below strength for three games if they had gone down to 9 men against us and we had won the game!

I don't quite see why the FA won't take action "because it was missed by the ref". If it had been spotted by the ref I could understand (although I might not agree) if they took no action but, if he didn't see it, surely that is just when they should step in?

But according to talksport ref must either have seen it during the game or video footage because they quote FA as saying ref did not think there was any intent therefore are taking no action.

totally agree mate

and with pulis and stoke hierachy (visually) shit scared of sir alex they wont contact the FA to complain

[daverichards]

smited

[bunnyscfc]

hey, let's not forget, for both instances the ref was RIGHT ON THE SPOT. He missed nowt. He chose to miss it. Big difference.

And it's called cheating, isn't it Mr Foy?

[kronkie]

If the cheating little scouse prick had been sent off THEY would have been down to 10 men, if that cheating portugese twot had been sent off as well THEY would have been down to 9 men, wilko had not been sent off, i know it sounds like sour grapes but its not, its a fact that fergies teams get away with almost murder and the poor underlings get shafted as per.
Can you imagine that elbow on either of them 2 pricks, down like a pile of shit, fucking bumhole alan smith calling us the dirtiest team ever.
Rant over, opening a can a hoping the other cheating scouse bastards turn castle over, if only to help our cause at the bottom.

Goan stoke

Oh yes, if that lino, who was maybe 3 feet away didnt see it then that prick must be blind.

[spitthedog]

Rooney is a lucky boy....again
if he made contact with Faye it could have caused a lot of damage, Faye was rightly annoyed.

Rooney is a coward. He stomps around the pitch shouting abuse if he doesnt get his way. I will never cheer him for England again, or that Cunt Neville. The arrogance of these players is beyond belief. Rooney = Scumbag. Simple as that. You can take the boy out of scouseland but you cant take scouseland out of the boy. That is why he will always be a scumbag.

SGS

[daverichards]

SGS , is got nothing at all to do with him being scouse, and everything to do with him being a twat

[andy9196]

Totally agree they both should of gone. Complained via email to FA, and they wil get FA.

typical, scum control the FA

[Premier Endonstokie]

Listen to the 606 pod cast with graham poll, sound like alex fergason has got a hold on some ref's. Chris foy want's the carling cup final and thinking that if he had sent them off, he would not get the final.

So the Man utd do contol ref's, when martin atkinson sent of there keeper against pompey in the cup in feb, he has not ref man utd since then.

Didn't like the fact that both challenges were missed and how Rooney got away with that stamp in the champions league is beyond me but well done bunny that's a good point and made me feel a bit better about it

[Squeekster]

Please mr Foy tell me throwing an elbow in the direction of player its not intentional,not intentional then why the fuck raise the elbow in the first place if there is no intent!!!!!!!!!

Bollox cheating little cunt.

[andy9196]

Surely this sets the presidence in law that it is ok to use the elbow ?

'Sorry Mr Foy but you saw nothing bad in the elbow from Mr Shrek Rooney, so how can you book / send me off ?'

[th05]

Joke. The fact that the wanker got away with it as well. Utter joke.
