Wayne Rooney; failed to upend his ban- Football (Soccer) News
The British football icon, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 has failed to get the two match ban on him cancelled. He has also said that he will miss the FA cup semi final match against the Manchester City team which is no doubt a frustrating thing for him.
For readers unaware of this episode, Rooney was accused by the Football Association for throwing about insults. Later he pleaded the association to overturn his ban.
In a pretty recent interview the English star said that he was not the first football player who had accepted his mistake on television and he was quite sure he wouldn't be the last. The absence of Rooney from two important matches can create a huge difference
for his team. The 25 year-old ace striker will not only miss the semi final match but will also miss the match against Fulham.
He said that his case was very different as he apologised for his mistake immediately and the punishment of a two match ban was excessive. He said that he was not the only player in the world who has swore on the camera.
Later Wayne said that whatever had happened was in the past now and he was thinking about his performance in other matches.
Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson seemed quite unhappy with the matter. He said that Rooney was a football player and it was now the time to back him. Ferguson added that he was very well aware of the fact that Rooney was not naive but sometimes
a player could get out of control because of excitement in the field.
Ferguson is of the view that Rooney is a famous football player and it is important for him to play responsibly.
While talking about the importance of Rooney in the team, Ferguson said Rooney loved to play football and his absence in the two matches would be felt by his team mates as well as by the Manchester United fans.
The upcoming semi final match against the Manchester Derby side is definitely going to be a hard battle for Ferguson's boys. Rooney's participation would have created some difference in the match because he has the talent to score at crucial moments.
