I suspect you are right, and it was just a venting of frustration at a poor performance. It was still a crass thing to say though and if he wants to shut the critics up he knows how to do it.
Rooney was bang out of order.
I would like to think that the comment was born out of frustration at our clueless performance. An apology is due either at a press conference or on the pitch against Slovenia where he may actually try and score a bloody goal.
I really like Rooney but that...
