applaud booked changed coming daft determination fantastic happened player red rules showing wants wayne win
Wayne Rooney is a fantastic player who wants to win every game. It is his determination which is coming to the fore. Unfortunately, things like that happened to me many years ago when I had a go at the referee. I did daft things and I once got booked for showing a ref the red card. But the rules have changed now, and if you applaud the ref that is what happens.
drinking english-athlete
When I was playing, I wasn't drinking at the weekends. Not after the game, not on Sundays, when I would just relax, have a sauna, things like that.
