Now I don't normally sully this blog much with these sporting prima donnas who make gizzilions out of mugs prepared to be out in all weather conditions paying loads of money to watch these performing whippets kick a plastic sphere about! They go to games where they can't possibly see all the action and spend, spend, spend.
Then they go home and watch it all on TV and see a totally different game from the one they had attended.
However, they say "it's a free country!"
Mr Rooney, more likely his agent, has played a blinder in screwing every last penny that he can out of his bosses by threatening not only to leave, but, via some carefully placed press stories, to say he would go to the immediate competition who definitely would have signed him up. He has done very nicely for his family and I applaud that aspect.
Basically he can now get a serious injury which will cease his playing career and the Insurance companies will payout on his "loss of earnings " policy. Payments of which are, of course, tax deductible !! So after all the debating he is unfit to play but fit to jet off to Dubai for a wee holiday! He seems pretty fit to me !
When I was in my teens we played anything up to 18/20 a side football matches in a public park for 4 and 5 hours a days! People dropped out to go for lunch and came back in afterwards to the same game! Some guys had plaster casts on broken arms and legs but still played. Todays whippets could't keep up with us.
Of course, I have ended up in later life with chronic arthritis !!!!
The darker side of the Rooney debacle is the vitriol dripping from the pens of the scribes, who mainly, could not kick a ball, in their jealous rage that he has won, the bosses have lost and they don't get the wages that Mr Rooney is getting for doing nothing at all this week!!
