Wayne Rooney Red Card - Favouritism by the English FA?
One of the most talked about, news worthy headlines in the world of soccer of late, has been Wayne Rooney’s
international red card.
The Manchester United striker was flashed red for kicking out at Montenegro’s Miodrag
Dzudovic during England’s final Euro 2012 qualification match recently.
The England striker, and let’s not
forget that it is not the first time he has been sent off at international level, was slapped on the wrist by UEFA
and handed a three match ban.
Fair enough, case closed you would think, especially with Rooney himself
admitting that was his kicking out was a stupid thing to do.
Well, don’t worry Rooney, because the FA have
gone and done something even more stupid and frustrating.
They have crossed a line which will only come
back to bite then in the behind sooner or later.
When red cards are waved around in football, there is a process of arbitration in which the aggrieved party can
plead their innocence.
