MANCHESTER UNITED STRIKER Wayne Rooney hit out at two television commentators for saying he deserved to be sent off during his side’s 2-2 draw at Cardiff City on Sunday.
Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler and pundit Graeme Souness, the former Liverpool manager, said Rooney was fortunate not to be shown a red card for kicking Jordon Mutch during the early stages of the Premier League game.

Rooney was instead shown a yellow card by referee Neil Swarbrick and went on to score the opening goal for United and set up their second goal, which was scored by Patrice Evra.
Rooney, who deliberately referred to Souness as ‘Sourness’, said more attention should have been paid to an incident in the second half in which Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel appeared to slap United’s Marouane Fellaini.
Then someone slaps someone in face and he doesn’t speak a word about it. I like Martin but that’s poor from him.
“Sourness (says) the rules are u kick out u should be off. Souness (says) medel gives left hook he’s done his job. Haha brilliant.”
Responding to tweets from people querying his spelling of Souness’s name, Rooney added: ” ‘Sourness’ was sarcastic, for everyone biting.”
Speaking on Sky Sports 1, Souness had said: “He (Rooney) should be off, there’s no argument. Why the ref has given him a yellow card is beyond me.
“I don’t know what Wayne is thinking of. He’s got an exploding head, we know that. That’s just borne out of frustration.”
However, Cardiff manager Malky Mackay said he had no qualms with Swarbrick’s handling of the incident and United manager David Moyes said: “I didn’t think it deserved any more than a yellow card.”
It was sending off and if you don’t want Sky giving u hard time don’t stupid do things. Btw anything to say on his former team mate Neville? Oh wait don’t want say anything bad about an English coach…
what ??? you manage to overlook the main point here,an off the ball incident where someone slaps someone in the face and there is no mention of that ?? but they wont shut up about rooneys tackle all gamethat the ref has dealt with,thats his point not that they said it at all !! and befoer you say it no i dotn think it was a yellow he could have been easily sent off nor do i think he should be bothered as to what commentators say but he is still right to be annoyed at being singled out !!
Not a supporter but in my eyes the only thing Rooney done wrong yesterday was not putting the ball in the net at the end when he was through. Nothing more then handbags, too much made of what use to be a mans game
He’s a low life maggot that pig Rooney, but his challenge was nowhere near as bad as Mirallas on Suarez only seen it properly last night….
Rooney won’t be at united next season
Good morning ladies, did you all miss me? Of course you did, be lost without my extensive footballing knowledge. Rooney is a cheat and he is scouse. Fraud boy Moyes had a lucky escape yesterday.

Poor you, going through puberty can be a difficult time for any young teen and its not unusual to behave in a homophobic manner in order to cloak how you really feel. Its not the end of the world son.

what ??? you manage to overlook the main point here,an off the ball incident where someone slaps someone in the face and there is no mention of that ?? but they wont shut up about rooneys tackle all gamethat the ref has dealt with,thats his point not that they said it at all !! and befoer you say it no i dotn think it was a yellow he could have been easily sent off nor do i think he should be bothered as to what commentators say but he is still right to be annoyed at being singled out !!
Not a supporter but in my eyes the only thing Rooney done wrong yesterday was not putting the ball in the net at the end when he was through. Nothing more then handbags, too much made of what use to be a mans game
