Do you think that he should receive any sort of punishment for this action?

No.

He's just scored a hat trick that has put his team in the lead and gone a long way to securing them the title after being 2 goals down.

I'm sure the West Ham fans may have been giving him a little bit of stick so you have to kind of expect him to be a little pumped up.

Be pointless given a minor fine out to somebody on 250k a week...

Wasn't morally right but all players would be find each week for getting caught swearing etc on telly!

I am no fan of Rooney, but if some idiot, in the name of 'entertainment', is going to shove a camera in is face just after having scored a hat trick and being on the recieving end of some 'knockabout cockney banter' most of the afternoon, then in all reality what do you expect? I think the day is coming where camera men should not be allowed that close to the players while on the pitch. Personally I have no problem with him swearing at all, I watch football for the sport, not the soap opera that gets spun around it that involves players swearing and managers being taken to task about post match comments etc. Swear away Mr Rooney, I really don't care

Points deduction

I could babble on about morals and children watching etc etc but given the fact the likes of Lee Hughes, Marlon King and Joey Barton are allowed to play football week in week out then really a bloke swearing is nothing.

It's not what I'd like to see in football but the standard was set the second Lee Hughes kicked a football after what he did.

It's not what I'd like to see in football but the standard was set the second Lee Hughes kicked a football after what he did.

However, we live in a society where people are judged by a panel of their peers and sentence is passed accordingly.

Once that sentence has completed, they are deemed to have paid their debt to society for the crime that they have been committed of.

However wrong or right you feel it is for him to be able to play football, he is entitled to go about building his life again.

The issue about whether sentencing is a different kettle of fish altogether. And he should not be discriminated against because some people may believe that the time for what he did was grossly insufficient.

If I scored a hat trick to come back from two nil for City to help us win the league, I would be a lot worse!

 

[SkyBluesAndy]

I think he should be fined... Just because he is a prick!

 

[flammablepiss]

Definately not ! Most games I see there are players swearing.. so what ? I know i'v swore in footy matches !

Points deduction

10 point deduction, £1m fine, 5-match ban for Rooney, next 3 home matches to be played behind closed doors, season-long ban from playing live televised matches.

This isnt the same as swearing while playing the game, it was idiotic in the extreme, it was hardly in the heat of the moment either. not sure what he said though.

 

[AngryAnt]

It wasn't in the heat of the moment, it was thirteen seconds after they'd scored. Should have been enough time to engage his brain.

I do think he swears too much, seems that almost any game that he's on tele, theres a close up of him swearing his heart out at some 'stupid' decision.
While i personally dont mind swearing i do think it needs to be clamped down on, same with attitudes. As someone said on 5Live, he's a yob but look at his mentors attitude to the press, complete disreguard for it.

Cards, Suspensions and Point Deductions are the only way to hurt clubs. But the FA are spineless and won't do it. So he'll get a slap on the wrist and maybe a £2,000 fine or something, i.e a drop in the ocean.

Pretty sure he sought out the camera, hardly spur of the moment.Blokes a yob but he is a good footballer and that overides everything these days.
