The Rooney one he was never going to get away with, not for the image of the Premier League, Sky and sponsors.
Having a high profile player yell "fuck you" down a live television camera around the world to millions isn't good for any brand. Neither is being seen to do nothing, especially with children being an audience for football. It's not part of the game.
And yet being seen regularly swearing at referees regularly is acceptable behaviour ? He does it every time United get an unfavourable decision, and plenty of children watch him doing it, and yet he doesn't get sent off or carded for it every time.
