The thing about Rooney, when he kicked somebody, or elbowed them, the cry was that the passion should not be removed from his game, whereas with any other young buck, like Liam Delap, they will see the dirty play for what it was - foul play. He doesn't need to add the fourpennorth onto a tackle, but it did remind me of the time his Dad was kicking the shite out of SWP when he was on the floor, SWP took a swing at Rory with his boot and got the red card. Can't remember whether Delap Sr got a card or not. I don't think he got sent off.
