Its All Too Beautiful
Despite all that has been promulgated on here about Rooney, he lacks responsibility, crashing someones wedding and getting drunk is not an act of leadership, unless he wants the rest of the squad to do the same. So he wasn't training the next day, irellevant, as captain he should still be reporting at the training ground to oversee and be with the team. Do Mo Farah, Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton, Ben Ainsley or Chris Froome conduct themselves in this way, no, so why do some seek to protect Rooney in these actions. Its the blindness that effects football and those who commentate on and follow it.
Rooney has access to more support systems than any of us on here and yet he continues to make blunder after blunder. As for his achievements, is he a Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton or Alan Shearer, no where near, is he a good captain not at all. He should not be lionised just another hugely overpaid footballer who uses his media exposure and even larger remuneration as a pass to behave badly. Should no longer be England captain and has now finished his England days.

What are all these blunders you refer to? Also, how do you know he crashed the wedding? Isn't it possible that someone saw him and invited him in?
What is clear is that you don't like him.

And you think that was all down to Rooney. Sorry, but I thought football was a team game.

My original point and post was that Rooney was (in the context of England) proud of his achievements.
My issue was that is all fine and dandy - but how the hell has it given us any reason to be proud?
We've consistently under-achieved in weak groups and bottled it at tournaments.
And that is all the team.

If we're the worlds laughing stock, what the **** does that make Scotland? We were the laughing stock for one night - deal with it

So where's your thread crucifying Lallana & Henderson, who, that same night, drove 200 miles to a strip club, and were also drinking?
Rooney stayed in the hotel, and knew he wasn't playing in the friendly, due to injury.
If you think that professional players don't enjoy a drink, then you're very naive. Bruno was pictured in the Argentinian restaurant very recently with a glass of wine.
Where did you learn of him 'getting drunk'?
Even worse as Captain, there were other players who not only saw this outrageous behaviour, but also partook in this sinful activity. I have had a word with the restauranteur, rest easy everyone, it won't be happening again.
Isn't it widely reported they invited him?
Lewis Hamilton is snapped in nightclubs far more than Rooney!
I don't give a monkeys about Wayne staying out late or getting drunk. But my contention is that anybody referring publicly to "my achievements" shows a disturbing lack of self-awareness, and is almost certainly a prize bellend. Anybody displaying that amount of ego deserved to be ridiculed.
Is he though?
The Sun have crucified him and he's defended himself. He's certainly done more in life than the vast majority of twats who work for Murdoch, unless you count hacking the phones of dead children an achievement.
Young man has a few scoops on a non-work day. There's no story, just shit stirring from the fourth estate.
You've taken me - literally - out of context. As I said, IMHO, anybody who sounds off about "my achievements" comes across a conceited ****. If that's how he chooses to defend himself, he probably needs a new PR person. And as I said, I literally could not care less about what he does in the drinking or staying-up late stakes.
I think we need to establish which wine he paired with his steak before we call for his head.

So he was the driver, then. Makes sense.
