These dudes really are living in some unreal fantasy scenario. It's difficult to imagine what it must be like being paid so much and living the lifestyle they do. But you don't have to be - or turn into - a grade A cock.... look at someone like Scholes, for example.

And apparently Mickey Owen has said this yesterday

 

Quote:

Liverpool is the biggest club in Britain but we have to put our hands up and say that United are a huge club too

 

Well **** off back there then, you useless dwarf.

[pie-eater 207]

gg, seems that the Owen "quote" might now have actually happened......

[rach 1]

That story has been in the rumours for a while.

 

Apart from thinking he's a scumbag, I don't really care as long as it doesn't affect on the pitch. But it perhaps has and explained the last few months.

Quote:

The next time Jenny saw Rooney was at a party in Rio Ferdinand's Rosso Italian restaurant.

"I went with a few girls and the whole team were there," recalled Jenny. "They were all very drunk.

"We hadn't arranged to meet but Wayne spotted me int the crowd. About half hour later he held my hand in front of everyone and led me away down these stairs.

Michael Owen was looking at him in disgust. Wayne made no effort to be discreet and I was embarrassed.

What did Michael Owen's marketing brochure say. Loyal, nice guy,...?


I think there's a ton of bull in those articles, some things seem impossible re: timing.
The very basic facts seem like they are true though.

Quote:

Wayne Rooney used a text message to inform his wife Coleen about allegations that he repeatedly cheated on her with a prostitute.

The England striker delivered the devastating blow as Coleen was at the hairdresser’s preparing for a family celebration.
He warned that 21-year-old Jennifer Thompson had come forward to claim she had sex with him at the same time as Coleen was expecting their son Kai, now ten months old.

‘Coleen had been getting her hair done on Saturday when Wayne texted her to break the news. He’s a coward for hiding behind a text message, especially when they’d been together earlier that day.’

Got to be made up, surely.

Good job her name wasn't Annette, he'd never have hit the target!

Seems he was shagging some 1000 quid a night prostitute while Colleen was preggers.
Oh dear.... what a complete tool.

Would it have made a difference if she wasn't pregnant?

We are talking about BOYS in their early 20s to early 30s. Everyone knows we dont start growing up until 35. Once the world gets their head around that and stops all these ridiculous expectations and let boys be boys, the world and the game will be a better place

[rach 1]

Don't you think so?

 

Parading yourself around with a prostitute when your wife is back home about to give birth to your baby. Do you not think that is particularly low scumbagish?

 

I sure do.

Don't be ridiculous, that kind of argument really annoys me.
Pathetic.

Rach I don't see the difference in if she was pregnant or not. He still hooked up with a hooker and wasnt discrete. Maybe these guys should be banned from getting married until they retire, that might remove all the moral conflict the public has with them.

PS sorry to annoy you Rach, respect your view but its a fact across all codes of sport and the greater community. These guys arent paid to be role models, thats a father's job. They are paid to be footballers. Bit like how lame rock stars are these days.

[rach 1]

You sound like a fine type, pete.

 

Bye.

I sure do.

Agreed - very embarrassing when one of my "friends" did it, and gave him hell for it. Told me to mind my own business. We are no longer friends.

[panhead_pete 27]

Rach I feel you may have missed my point. I see no difference in whether she was pregnant or not, its still cheating and made worse that he was stupid enough to not only to do it in the 1st place but get caught. All good though and like anywhere we all have different points of view. I'd never do anything like that, even in 15 or so trips to Indo never even had a "happy ending" so before judging me, maybe get to know me.

TOTALLY AGREE.

While they aren't, they do have people who look up to them, to be like them, to do what they do, to be who they are. They are constantly in the public eye, with intrusion in their public life. They get paid tens of, sometimes hundreds, thousands pounds a month. They are role models if they like it or not.

Rooney is a father. With that responsibility comes being a role model.

The next United game is away at Everton.

That should be interesting, if he plays.

[RobBright 35]

Wayne play away and score?

 

He's good at that.

[grungy-gonads 54]

Footballer or not, scumbag.

[NoFakie 45]

It's none of my business but I was tempted into reading the story and thought it was pretty funny.

 

If anything, I feel sorry for him. He doesn't sound all that happy.

[RobBright 35]

Crocodile tears...

[SpaceAgeMonkey 0]

Sounds like he leads such a poor life.

 

 

Bless 'im.

[big-will 7]

The Mirror has a cracking top headline

 

"Betrayed Coleen Rooney may dump Wayne after being “torn apart†by his latest vice girl shame."

 

So, she may. Or she may not. Now you know!
