Wayne Rooney Is Banned For 3 MatchesWayne Rooney has been banned for 3 matches after his
Bitch Slap on Ben Haim which I suppose is fair emough as you can't be raising your hand with squealers and feigners like Ben Haim around.
Rooney pleaded guilty to "Violent Conduct" which is also understandable seeing that the
FA is not a place to be seeking a helping hand for anything, unless you actually want a
3 Match BanThe current mentality from the FA and the Media is one of "Reel Rooney In" to help him to curb his temper. I don't buy that.
In time
Wayne Rooney will learn to stay aggressive on the pitch and not get so wound up by idiots like Ben Haim breathing all in his face one minute, then diving to the floor the next when he gets a slap. Banning Rooney won't solve out anything. Ben Haim deserved a slap and would have got one from any unimpressed 18 year old with a bit of a temper.
Maybe
Bolton FC manager Sam Allardyce sent Ben Haim out there to be a prick? Allardyce is certainly defending him hard enough. I think Ben Haim is a wind up merchant and it never helped Bolton anyhow.
