Rooney may face charges over swearing

Sunday, April 3, 2011

After completing his fifth hat-trick for Manchester United, first of the season, Wayne Rooney is to suffer consequences, as FA reveal they are to decide tomorrow whether he’ll be punished for inappropriate goal celebration.
Following yesterday’s incident, after he uttered a curse into a camera, for reasons unknown, Football Association’s director Sir Trevor Brooking stated for BBC Radio 5:
“Tomorrow there will be a decision.
“It was a surprise, after scoring a hat-trick, to react that way.
“It is something we will have to look at.”
Immediately after the incident, 25-year-old expressed his sincere apologies by saying:
“I want to apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my goal celebration, especially any parents or children that were watching.
“Emotions were running high, and on reflection my heat-of-the-moment reaction was inappropriate. It was not aimed at anyone in particular.”

Spur of the moment thing or not, Rooney won’t be able to escape punishment this time, as we all remember the moment he elbowed Wigan’s James McCarthy for which he was given the benefit of the doubt, however the rules are strict and very well defined, he’ll just have to abide. 
FA rules state: “A participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour.”
