Before the England rugby match kicked off I was watching Man. United beat Wigan 4-0 at home to go top for a day or so. Half way through the first half United repelled a Wigan attack and the ball was cleared towards the half way line, the boy Rooney chased after it and got there exactly the same time as a Wiggie defender. The ball squirted off the away player for a throw-in and Rooney's momentum carried him into the leg of the defender. It looked like a normal challenge, David Platt doing the summarising alongside Alan Parry said it looked fairly innocuous, there were no histrionics from the Wigan player and no surrounding of the referee.
Knowing who was doing the 5live commentary I switched over to hear Alan Green going absolutely ballistic, his words were, "How can he still be on the pitch, his studs were halfway up the opponents thigh, unbelievable."
It's funny how somebody who has made the disliking Manchester United into an art form over the years could see something so differently to everyone else.

Unfortunately for people like Alan Green it is far to late in life to be able to change: he's a wanker and in the foreseeable future there is no hope of change.
re Rooney, well, he gives 100% so whether that turned out to be good or bad is a matter of a few happenstances on the night (day)...mat have to revise my fantasy football again if he's on the up!
That's what I like about you Span, the fact that you don't sit on the fence!
