Colleen being pregnant had nothing to do with it, he had previous form. He got caught with a prostitute old enough to be his mum when he and Colleen were engaged.

Don't see how his behaviour can be excused, or blamed on anyone/thing else. He's an adult, responsible for his own actions. If Colleen's guilty of anything, it's turning a blind eye the first time and marrying the little scuzz, thereby letting him think he could get away with it again. But no-one forced him to and it's no-one's fault but his.

That means you discuss everything and talk about anything rather than sneak off to someone who isn't a best friend.
Phew, for a moment, I thought you may have meant  that a couple should 'compromise' when pregnant and that the guy should be given 'permission' to use a prostitute, so I was a bit. Should have 'known'you better than that, sorry  BTW, Brian's Eton Mess looked good?

Oh, cobblers. Talk about shooting the messenger.. Rooney is the architect of his own downfall. He was worse than useless in the World Cup and nobody knew his free-range todger had been up to its old tricks then. Nobody made him go to prostitutes while his missus was pregnant, any more than they made him do the same when they were engaged. If Capello had any balls he'd have dropped him already for playing like crap, so the question of this story 'ruining' England's chances wouldn't even arise. NOTW knows its market. If people weren't interested in lapping up this kind of sleaze, they wouldn't write about it.
Yep, Demantoid, my views exactly.

The press just report his tawdry personal life, he's the one that lives it.  He was rubbish in the world cup but demanded the kind of adulation that he gets at Old Trafford.

But England fans aren't Manchester Utd fans, so they only care if he can deliver the goods for England.  If he can't, why should he demand uncritical support?  His Man Utd performances are irrelevant to England fans who don't support Man Utd.

Rooney's going to have to get used to less adulation when his playing career is on a downward trajectory.  He's too stupid, ugly and volatile to go into metrosexual advertising, management or punditry!

They appear to be. There are also the ones we never hear about who successfully manage to impose gagging orders on the press.
I remember having a chat with a male friend of mine, who was one of these 'knows everybody' kinda guys. He told me that he has never known a guy that doesnt or hasnt cheaedt. Makes you think.

Having read this thread, I thought I would save myself writing loads and piggyback on another post which most accurately reflects my opinion. Demantoid has pretty much summed it up for me.

Does Rooney live in a bubble? Has he never read a tabloid paper exposing a footballer's indiscretions - think Terry? 

Given past experience, why does he think this would not come out?

Rooney is not the only person who plays for England. Why do we the English focus on one or two individuals, thinking that their abscence means we will never achieve anything. As good as Rooney is, he will not achieve anything if the rest of the team play poorly (see World Cup).

A plea to everyone. Stop buying the tabloid papers and the women's gossip magazines (they are mainly full of crap, speculation and pure lies). Yes there will be redundancies (not good), but the overall affect will be for the UK to be a less gossipy-tattle driven society. And the England team may do much better.


Oh and yes, dropping Rooney may have a more positive affect on the team.

The women who go with them, don't come out of it looking any whiter then white.  These footballers seem to be lacking a brain cell between them.  They go with these women and think that it is going to remain "their little secret".  Most of these women go with them in order to make a fast buck by selling their sordid stories.  They deserve each other  imo.

Makes me think that your friend and his associates are not they type of people to be liked, trusted and know at all.

I have a wide number of male friends including myself. I have never cheated and of all my male friends, I know of just two who have. And I don't condone it. My philosophy on this subject is that you talk your issues through or go your separate ways.

For balance I do know women who have cheated and my current count stands at four. But I do stress that I don't think that women are any worse than men or vice a versa.

If these rich footballers have to use the services of a prostitute, I would have thought they could have least used one of a higher calibre, the professional escorts who do their job day in and day out with a vast array of people in the spotlight but never tell? I don't understand why they employ the services of ones who work in some terraced brothel and wear Primark lingerie.

Saying that though, if that was my fella I'd lop his balls off and serve them to him for dinner. (And then I'd leave with the car keys)

100% agree with this ^^^^^^^^

Poor Colleen - she really should dump the low life now!

No not at all. As usual I was in a rush to get somewhere else and thus made another hurried  post. Having said that, I'm still intrigued as  to the timing of these articles. Also as far as young master Rooney is concerned all I'm bothered about is  him scoring lots of goals. Who he has sexual intercourse with is no concern of mine. It's something the happy couple and their advisors will have to sort out.

That is is not the issue. The issue is that our so called Press chose the weekend before a very important qualifying match to publish it.
They must have known what effect this would have on Rooney, they must have known what effect this could have on the English squad.
Publish the tawdry little story if you will but to cynically do it just before this game is just plain nasty..
Oh and the press also boasted him up so much and implied that he was the great hope that the pressure was too much. Yes he did play like a twat - BUT have you seen him play when he is on form?

I don't know what the so called gutter press have against England, I really don't.

I wonder if the people on this thread saying Rooney got what he deserves would be over the moon and delighted if they got caught cheating on their partner and it was splashed all over the front pages. Yes, I'm sure you'd be applauding them and saying 'serves me damn right'. Yes.

The main point here is the papers targetting players at crucial times for maximum sales knowing the damage it will do to the whole team, not just the player in their story. I want England to do well, I appreciate some of you may not care less what they do at football but I do, and that was the point of the thread.

No the issue is if he hadnt have done it in the first place then they would have nothing to publish now would they
I am not defending him - I am attacking the timing - it effects the whole team and it is wrong.
They could have printed that story ages ago and yet they pick now.
They are no better than him,
