Rooney

Ah but that is where you are wrong. They can do something and will do something IF, Rughead wears that number when he appears on the pitch, until then they cannot do anything. Derby have a variety of shirt numbers that Ruggy could wear and it is likely that is why they would say that Ruggy and Derby are in breach of advertising agreements if he actually plays in that number, in the meantime they can get all the free publicity going. He will never coach them and I doubt he will play much for them, it is a cynical money making tactic being exploited by Ruggy, the bookies and Derby.

They fine people if they appear on telly endorsing a betting company! Don't suppose the have to wait for a player to stroll about on PL pitch before his contract with a foreign tv channel bites his arse.

Has anyone got a number for Blue Moon customer service; I want to know why this thread isn’t named grannyshagger or shred?

More importantly, you're on nickname terms with the baddy from the ninja turtles?

Yep. It makes me bloody seethe the stuff him and his fucking raggy mates used to get away with. And they still insist they never received preferential treatment...SCUM!!

Why wasn't it a penalty? Looked like they had a retaken corner instead.

Funny how the FArce can fine players and managers for appearing in an advertisement for a betting company (depending on which team is involved) and yet we have betting companies emblazoned over the front of God knows how many PL club shirts.

And don't forget Stoke City who are owned by a betting company.no conflict of interest there for the media to jump all over....not a word from the cutting edge press these last few years.

Filthy fat bastard.

I'll say one thing for Rooney - and I'm not a fan - he works hard on the pitch and in the Championship he could be a fair asset. Be interesting to see how it turns out.

F**k off Brian ;-)

Have not seen it but if the offence happened before the ball was played then it is not a penalty. The ball is not counted as being in play until it is kicked. I assume the ref has then had the corner taken.

Thought the ball was kicked. But sure if not.
