Wayne Rooney really milked that hat trick against Westham to provide Manchester United with a 3-2 lead last week.
I recently went on YouTube and tried to watch Wayne Rooney’s last goal against Westham to complete his hat trick, which was then followed by him swearing into the camera.
It appears, however, that the FA Premier League is now claiming copyright and blocking the videos.
A bit late there I think, considering millions of people seen it live in action and it played out in the press for days after.
It was an impossible story to get away from, I haven't heard this much hype about a match in a long time and it wasn't even about the match.
It was all about how Wayne Rooney would be punished for saying a curse word.
The footballer was later forced to publicly apologize. ‘I want to apologize for any offence that may have been caused by my goal celebration, especially to any parents or children that were watching,’ said Rooney.
‘Emotions were running high and my heat-of-the-moment reaction was inappropriate. It was not aimed at anyone in particular.’
To make this story even more exciting is that for some strange reason, the Police Superintendent of Wolverhamton, Mark Payne, decided to publicly slam on his blog Rooney and his oh so terrible crime of swearing on the pitch.
“I have seen a thousand Rooney's, and I am sure most police officers will have. The same aggressive stance, the bulging eyes, the foul mouthed rant, fists clenched, surrounded by his mates, all cheering him on. I have seen this on Friday and Saturday nights, as young men (and more often young ladies) engage in a ‘good night out.”

Now, am I the only one that thinks that this is all very extreme? First of all, I would be right in believing that a superintendent has much better things to be worrying about then blogging about Wayne Rooney cursing on the pitch and to be fair everyone has there moments of madness.
Rooney was completely wrong in cursing, especially due to the fact that a lot of young children look up to him as a role model, but he now has to pay for his 2 second public outburst with a £250,000 fine and a ban from an FA cup semi final.
What was even more shocking to come from this story was an actual real live public outburst from Sir Alex Ferguson following his disgust at the blog entries published by Payne.
“This is not the first time we have seen a player swear on the pitch, so why is this time any different. There is an issue in the modern world of a need to be noticed. There is a wee guy, sitting down there in the Midlands, probably never been recognized in his life, managed to elevate himself to whatever it is in the police force.
"Have you ever seen Wolverhampton on a Saturday night? Do police ever arrest anyone for swearing on a Saturday night? Deary me. That is a good one.”
