As a MUFC fan I am disappointed with both Rooney and Ronaldo. Rooney's behaviour was appalling and something I'm sure he regrets and will publically apologise for. As for Ronaldo.... I'd be very surprised if he's still playing for us come August 18th... a.) He apparently wants to go to Madrid, b.) I doubt Rooney, Neville, Ferdinand etc will want to play with him and c.) Rooney will probably have broken his legs so he won't be able to play anyway... xx

Rooney needs to grow up, his undoubted ability with a football is just not enough............. Barbara..xx

Though Rooney is passionate, he lacks restraint. Blowing his top at every little thing is not the way to go. I think Gerrard or Jon Terry should be Captain. They both appear to have passion and have their heads screwed on. Re Beckham - doesn't the manager give the captaincy(is that a word? lol) and remove it? Shouldn't it be up to MacLaren to say whether or not Beckham can give it up? Tracy (who hates football lol)

Go back to your knitting Paul and let us girls alone!

erm, rooney for manager? owen sent off? tut, girls and football eh. tut!

My two-pennyworth! Just heard it suggested that if they made Rooney the new England manager it would calm him down by having the responsibility - it worked with Beckham! We lost the Cup the minute owen was sent off - but agree that they played better when down to 10 men! Allie

am I the only one who thinks we played better when he went, maybe they suddenly thought oh we had better pull our socks up now ,no Rooney to rely on. I love Rooney though and dont believe he did it on purpose just has a one track mind about the Football.

i dont think rooney meant it. i blame ronaldo for enflaming things with the ref. I agree with Alan Shearer, i reckon when they go back to training at old trafford rooney should stick one on him!

Quite agree with you both!!!!

What he did was out of order, there's lots of Kids who Idealize him and will think its OK to do the same, Lil

Now do those who stuck up for him still think the same,he need's to grow up and think how much he's earning before he shows his temper off.

Don't know about more professional Ann,but after last nights boot incident ,he does need to grow up.Fred.

I felt dissapointed for him, he just wanted to do the job he loves. Heather x

To be honest when I saw Beckham after about 20 minutes I had actually forgotten he was playing in this match, he wasnt very good last night , in fact if we play like that we have no chance.

i think it's great that he showed passion. didnt harm anyone. it's better than that american bloke that did a wee in the dugout! lol!

It made me smile when the commentator said it was like he'd been called in for his tea........

It made me smile to see that red, angry face!! I think it was wonderful to care so much...after all he has a very good teacher in Alex Ferguson:-) lol BC

just got to add my twopenth. passion like that is definateley needed by all the team some last night lacked commitment. carragher for one was well under par. i like to see players playing for the shirt this was showed by wayne, joe cole and steve gerrard. even beckham looked a little out of place. several moments of genuis wont win this world cup we need to perform for 90 minutes not just 10 each half. lets see how we do against equador on sunday and then we can really look at our chances.

Really bad news about Owen wasn't it ! I was gob smacked when he came off before the game got started. Watching that replay made me cringe :-(( Elaine ;-)

I couldn't help but laugh, he resembles my grandson, and when he is annoyed he slumps in a chair and folds his arms. we all said how much like our Conner he looked. I bet Rooney was gutted he wasn't able to finish the match, and probably felt bad as he had had such a build up from the media before he played. Shirley Ann.
