You swear it well, Wayne

Rather amusing that Wayne Rooney's Upton Park swear-fest has now earned him a two-game ban. I'm no fan of players running to cameras (even Scotty) — it's the paying punters in the ground who matter. And whatever happened to the Bobby Moore-esque manly handshake when scoring a goal?

Rooney's obscene rant was heard by thousands of impressionable youngsters and apparently the key consideration for the disciplinary committee was that 13-year-old Freddie Sears was in the stadium…

There's certainly no place for swearing at football, I feel a heartfelt gosh! is enough to convey one's dissatisfaction with a poor refereeing decision, or Luis Boa Morte. The ref told the FA he would have sent Rooney off had he heard the swearing; the 2 match ban is no help to us....

We in the East Stand never go beyond "dirty northern custards" as we sit near a Vicar's Son.

If Rooney and Vidic had gone we might even have got a point…
