The English Football Association is scared stiff at the thought that it must again decide whether to reprimand someone connected with Manchester United !!! The player concerned is Wayne Rooney !!!
The last time they threw the book at Sir Alex Ferguson; the habitual villain was sentenced to five games in the stands instead of being on the bench. Fine !!! Sir Alex moved five or ten yards away to the nearest stand seat and used a direct line telephone to remain in contact with the trainer's bench !!! (See the article in this blog on 22 March 2011).
Wayne Rooney, a star, an international footballer, very highly paid, used foul language when directly in front of television cameras filming and transmitting the match between West Ham and Man. United last Saturday, 2 April 2011 !!!
Will the FA again do nothing ? Will they again be petrified of what could happen if Rooney is suspended or if Manchester United is inconvenienced ? It would have been a lot more easy for the FA if this incident had happened in the match between Burton Albion vs Barnet !!!
Will the FA take into account the fact that Rooney is a role model for all young footballers, who will copy him because he is their idol, their star ? Will the FA have enough courage to explain the reasons for its ultimate decision, not only to fans but also to the parents ?
Sadly this is not the first time that Manchester United and its players or manager have failed to be a good example. Everyone in the game of football will be watching how the FA reacts !!!
