Rules For Man Utd - Rules For The Rest Of Us!
Yes we saw Wayne Rooney creep up on James McCarthy and elbow him in the face ... but did you SERIOUSLY believe the FA would punish Manchester United? Wigan owner Dave Whelan has reacted angrily because the Football Association have decided Manchester United are above the law. The FA's failure to punish Wayne Rooney for his clash with Latics midfielder McCarthy confirms what we knew already. Television replays from the match at the DW Stadium showed Rooney strike McCarthy on the back of his head, but apparently that is acceptable. Dave Whelan: "It sends out a terrible message. "Something is wrong when a top international like Rooney is seen doing something like this, as clear as day, and is allowed to get away without being punished. "If it was any other club or player, you can bet your life he would have been sent off. But officials seem intimidated by the words 'Rooney' and 'United'. "Manchester United are allowed to get away with things the rest of us get pulled up for. And you can't have one set of rules for one club and another for the rest. "I don't care what the FA say about the matter being dealt with at the time by us getting a free-kick. They, and everyone else in football, know justice isn't being served here. "The FA will be delighted they can hide behind their rules and let Rooney off, as they are frightened of taking sanctions against him and his club."
