CavySlaveJambo Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 no point in taking him then. why waste a squad place on a player who may not be able to play at all. Although if he is not in the squad will that mean his suspension rolls on to the start of the qualification for 2014 WC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if he is not in the squad will that mean his suspension rolls on to the start of the qualification for 2014 WC? They really can't take him can they? It'll just be the 1st competitive games he's banned for. So even if he doesn't go he'll have served his time i'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the refs fault that Rooney can't hit a barn door. I'd say 2 games though - 3 games should be reserved for proper brawls, not shan attempts at booting someone in the leg.

I'd say 2 games though - 3 games should be reserved for proper brawls, not shan attempts at booting someone in the leg. SSN trotted out the usual chain of Cockneys to express sympathy for the serial offender Rooney but to be fair to one of them (Wlikins ?) who said "that if that had been one of our players being kicked we would expect a three match ban". Rooney got a red for violent conduct ( ie a not your common or garden red card) - that attracts a 3 march ban. Everyone knows it. As was also pointed out on SSN , that's the usual penalty for a violent conduct offence in the EPL. Grounds for appeal ? Would love to know what on earth the EFA think are grounds for appeal here.

benny Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Rooney's offence everybody knew it would be a a 3 match ban.So why should they be allowed to appeal.Just say it was Defoe or Crouch pretty sure there would be no appeal as well.The sending off is a 3 match ban in England,once again Rooney lets his side down due to his stupid behaviour.

I think they know they wont be anywhere near winning the Euros. I know a lot of guys from university who are English, and they never exude the belief that the English based press do. And in all honesty it's mainly the tabloid/Sky Sports News/Gary Liniker mob who think 'this time is our time....' genuinely. They have a strong side, but one which I reckon is on par with say France. It's not a team of world beaters but better than most others. The best in Europe without a shadow of a doubt have to be Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. It's got to be between those 3 for the the Euros. Probably a Germany v Spain final. England? Depending on how France, Italy, Portugal and maybe Russia do they could reach the semis.

Diego10 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 There's also the fact that he has been banned once already during the,qualifiers. Three games is pretty standard for these things. Don't really agree it should be, but no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Le Clos Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It's a massive problem for Capello, because even if he takes Rooney and they qualify for the quarters, he'll need to totally change his style of play to accomodate Rooney. He links the midfield and attack like no other English forward can. Capello seems to have finally realised 4-4-2 doesn't work and went for a 4-5-1 with Rooney just behind Bent. None of the candidates to replace him can play that role: Agbonlahor, Sturridge, Wellbeck etc. He'll still go, but it will give Capello a headache. Might not be a bad thing though as England will be forced to not try and rely on Rooney to win everygame. Fergie will be delighted as I doubt Rooney will feature in many friendlies in between now and summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Shame. As one of the rank outsiders for the tournament theyll need their best players if they have any hope of getting out the group.

Footballfirst Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've a feeling that Rooney will develop some niggling injury towards the end of the season and that he will be advised by the Man U medical team to rest it completely during the close season, thus making himself unavailable for selection and avoiding a difficult decision for Capello or whever is in charge of England by then.

What do you mean "surely"? You don't even know who's in their group yet. The Euros are notoriously more competitive than the World Cup because there are no Trinidad and Tobagos or New Zealands (or Costa Rica ) Almost every team there is potentially better than England on their day.
