Euro 2012 qual. - Paper Round: Rooney scandal - the juicy bits

I'm surprised at how many comments here are­ supporting Rooney and the others, as if it's fine­ to have affairs, 'no big deal' to be unfaithful­ to your wife, perfectly acceptable to pay for­ prostitutes...
I thought this was a civilised society. ­ I thought humans had things called morals, you know,­ the things that stop us from destroying the human race,­ the things that tell us what's right and what's­ wrong (and no, I'm not talking about the false­ religious kind of morals, but the ones we're­ naturally born with).
These footballers are scum. ­ They laugh at the rest of us while they earn huge­ fortunes doing what? Kicking a ball around and having­ fun all day.
I think everyone seems to forget that­ they're role models for our children. What they­ do and say has a direct impact on what the kids who­ idolise them will do and say. Would you want your­ children or grandchildren to grow up behaving in this­ sordid, uncivilised, immoral manner? I certainly­ wouldn't. I brought my children up to know what­ was right and wrong, what was acceptable behaviour and­ what wasn't, and they learned that from a very­ early age.
Rooney and co are old enough to know EXACTLY­ what they're doing, so excusing them on the basis­ of being young and naive is simply pathetic.
Yes, the­ press are a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites who­ probably get up to the same stuff as the people they go­ after every day, but that doesn't mean that what­ Rooney and the others have done is RIGHT or­ ACCEPTABLE.
Instead of hero-worshiping them, see them­ for what the really are, a bunch of unpleasant people­ that you wouldn't want YOUR daughter getting­ involved with, unless, just like them, all you really­ care about is money...

Capello/FA, stated long b4 the terry fiasco any further­ embarssement frm england players, So we have had­ Wiltshire who attacks a girl nothing done infact­ wiltshire swans of to portugal with­ u21's...............we have gerrard who assults a­ guy nothing done made captain...............ferdinand­ who woz wecomed bac by england after hes failing 2 do a­ drug test i wonder WHY!!!!! and then made­ captain........................Terry loses armband&­ warned about his future conduct­ .........................ROONEY A COMPLETE DISGRACE AT­ THE WORLD CUP HASN'T SCORED (WITH THE FOOTBALL) 4­ ENGLAND IN GOD NO'S WEN. BEDS A TART BUT EVEYTHINGS­ ALL RITE , we're told we shud feel sorry 4 him thts­ it's just a young lad findin his way in life, the­ point being is Terry is the only 1 punished by­ Capello/FA WHY JUST TERRY??????????????????????

We became so moralistic in the twinkling of an eye....­ so he went whoring so what?, I pity him for looking­ outside his family what perhaps he seldom gets with his­ wife. He paid even too much for a service and look what­ he gets. He must be so upset with the bitx in question,­ no mention facing his wife now... poor guy. Really,­ this shouldn't be so complicated.

why do the tabloids always choose to pull the whole­ england team down just when they are starting to get it­ back right again....ROONEY THE LOONEY HAS A LIFE­ OUTSIDE FOOTIE n if he wishes to mess it up thats his­ problem non of ours really...who makes most money­ outta this besides the tabloids...yep the stupid hooker­ who aways knew she would the moment she first laid he­ mouth on rooney

Who would be a manager when you have employ players­ with the morals of an alley cat just because they can­ kick a ball proficiently.

The papers can print anything they like while quoting­ anonymous sources. Maybe the law shoud be changed so­ that these "quotes" have to be named and­ verified before being printed Anyway the sooner a­ privacy law is intoduced the better. No wonder the­ British press is hated worldwide!!

Crouch isnt married, I wish I had a bird that looks­ like his - JT has a wife that isn't just with him­ for the cash - he's very lucky. Andy Cole knows he­ has lost a jewel but at least there are no kids­ involved. Rooney is a virile young man with too much­ cash and is very nieve, let's hope that he has a­ wife as good as JT has.
The press don't care who­ gets hurt they just sell papers with every bit of dirt­ they can find on any celeb.

Your all stupid in the tabloids! How can you say that a­ man had an 'affair' with a paid for prostitute?­ No one has an affair with a prostitute, they pay a­ woman for a service - thats all it is! There is romance­ in an affair, I doubt if there was the remotest chance­ of any romance in this case.
Rooney was stupid if he­ thought that any woman who values money more than their­ self respect would not sell a story to the gutter press­ who to be fair are not bothered what they print is the­ whole truth!
A woman who want's money will play­ every trick in the book to get their hooks into a young­ celeb with more money than sense.
Rooney wasn't­ betraying his love with his wife, there would have been­ nothing more than gratification with this loose woman­ & nothing more than cash for her.
Does this woman­ think she is doing any favours for Waynes wife or child­ by slapping this all over the press? She doesn't­ give a @#$% who gets hurt and that goes for the press­ too.
Who is the winners in this sordid story? The press­ & this slapper! Certainly noone else!

bet his todger is just a little one.........

Tell me why is it all ways footballers DONT THEY GET­ ENOUGH SCOREING GOALS WITH OUT DOING THE OTHER???????­ MONEY TALKS

I think it's time to stop all these snide­ remarks.
Just for a change,why don't we all get­ behind Rooney and give him a good s@@@ging !

stephentookey wayne bridge had children with this­ "EX" as you called

Painkiller / Hiddink : get your facts right - Terry­ DIDN'T "shag his mates wife"; the alleged­ act was with Bridges' EX girlfriend/partner. ­ Repeat: EX! See how easily the media furore makes­ gullible people just believe what they want to? The­ only common denominator is their infidelity, that's­ purely how they should be judged (if indeed it is our­ place to do so...) So, is paying for a Brass more or­ less reprehensible than having a sneaky affair? ­ Should it really matter to anyone else, unless the­ person concerned holds a position where their moral­ integrity is vital and could be compromised? How many­ people seriously feel that professional sports stars­ need to be beacons of responsibility in their off-field­ activities. So long as entertainers entertain me, I­ don't care what else they do. Different if we are­ talking Judges, lawyers, bankers, politicians, doctors­ etc. Simple!

Hiddink : Terry's scandal had solid proof of the­ fact that he had indeed slept with bridge's wife.­ The proof was irrefutable. But there is none here ! No­ evidence, witnesses, nothing. Just useless words spoken­ by either a prostitute loooking to get famous or an­ idiot reporter who thought he was onto something big­ after listening to rumors. Until there is a statement­ from Rooney or his wife , I wouldn't believe the­ rubbish in the sensationalist press. If its true, its a­ personal matter between Rooney and his wife. Men­ cheating on their wives is something that has happened­ time immemorial, and it is wrong of course. But the­ only person who Wayne Rooney owes an apology to is his­ wife and child, and not anybody else, cos frankly, its­ none of their business, certainly not the business of­ the gutter media. But John Terry sleeping with a­ friend/colleague/teammate's ex-wife treads on many­ more morals and ethics.If you're single, you­ wouldnt begin to have relations with your mate's­ wife without having the basic courtesy of­ informing/asking whether he is ok with it or not would­ you? The fact that Terry had extra-marital relations,­ makes it worse.
