The same point was made by Martin Samuel in the Mail this morning.
Because the FA didn't want to compromise the chances (!) of England in the Word Cup, so Rooney's yobbish behaviour was quietly ignored.
When he behaves the same way at club level, they decide to discipline him - the hyporcacy is rank, and shows the rot in the FA which should be cleared out and staffed with people with more backbone and less self-interest.

Bobbisox - fair enough - but if the governingbody are behaving like idiots, then it hardly inspires players to behave appropriately following their example.
At the moment, the behaviour is in tandem from top to bottom - everyone has to obey the rules of respect and appropriate conduct - unless they don't feel like it.

I don't disagree, Andy.
However, I think there are two issues here;
1. Rooney's seeming inability to conduct himself in anything like an appropriate manner (almost anywhere, too),
2. The 'outrage' his conduct provokes when exposed to a wider audience.
If you can't stop (1), and until he decides to behave like a grown-up you can't, then you have to address (2) by refusing to 'publish' his antics.....

Have to admit I pay next to no attention to these sort of things, this incident being no exception, but it seems to me that if this is just about swearing then it goes to prove what a bunch of softies are in charge these days. Seriously, is all this fuss about someone saying a few naughty naughty words ? Geeze, used to be a man's game refereed by those who didn't wilt like a pansy when looked at too hard.
