Ah! the power of protest, makes one almost proud to be English.

But the question must be asked, where was the UAF when they where needed most?

[Count-A-Strong]

30 men turned up. Must have been the whole contingent of Man U fans who actually live in Manchester.

Ukrainian Air Force? or University of Alaska Fairbanks?

It's a shame that Old Git is only 'almost proud' to be english - i previously had the impression he was a patriot.

I'm also not sure who the UAF are AOG - ?

I'm pleased that the matter has been settled.

I do worry that the passion of some fans boils over into threats of personal violence against a man who is making personal career choices, as he is free to do.

And yes he is a 'man - he is losing his hair, has a wife and baby and a nine-figure fortune in the bank, so maybe Sir Alex could stop referring to him as 'the boy'?

I am sure it is Scots coloquialism - but it reads and sounds ridiculous - Wayne Rooney is a highly talented professional athlete, and he's about to turn 25 - no way is he a 'boy' and he should be spoken of with respect for his age and position.

Andy - totally agree with you on the 'passion' of fans who make death threats but respect for a 'man' who regularly cheats on his wife and then when found out severly lets his national team down? I think 'the boy' is still apt.

Fergie probably threatened to bitch slap the little broccoli if he didn't sign

Isn't 'where was the UAF?' rather a silly question?

a threatening mob gather outside someone's home which houses him, his wife and baby.

Isn't it more relevant to ask - where were the police?

[steg]

the police were at the dunkin donuts, i thought every one would of known that

[Gromit]

UAF? What the hell are you on about AOG?

No need for UAF when we have SAF.

Good one Gromit

[Zeuhl]

LOL

I love that phrase <no offences were disclosed>

Does that mean there were some and the police said 'not telling you' or (more likely) there weren't any and some hack thinks this is less dull?

who gives a salad chef's wrist action about the man rooney and his overpaid, over-rated and over publicised colleagues. There are more important things in life (allegedly)

[anotheoldgit]

Quite, I would have thought that at least there would have been someone arrested and charged with 'threatening to kill'.
