FA are appealing Rooney's Montenegro Red Card
Discussion
Just how stupid does this make the FA look?
Swear down the camera, bad lad, miss three games.
Kick your opponent entirely deliberately, we'll appeal a three game ban as unfair.
Not to mention it gives Rooney the idea that it's an entirely acceptable thing to do whenever things aren't quite going his way.

Pleased that Rooney will now be available for a group game.
Let's be honest lads, his offence if you can call it that, was hardly dangerous just ill-thought out and a spur of the moment thing. Borne out of frustration at the performance at the time. It was stupid, but hardly warranted a 3 match ban. That would have been a talking too or yellow card at grass roots level...hardly 3 match ban material. Just saying...
I mean look...

Did swearing down the camera?The problem is the FA have made themselves look inconsistent and totally out of touch - how can they uphold a 3 match ban for violent conduct in the future?
Being cynical, if it had been a junior member of the England squad, perhaps someone with a few less sponsorship deals and not plastered over every billboard as a poster boy for the FA and for the tournament, do you think they would have had the ban reduced?

Thanks for sharing the link, it's actually the first time I've seen it! Made my mind up to... We can't afford to take him in case the petulant prick does it again.Let's be honest lads, his offence if you can call it that, was hardly dangerous just ill-thought out and a spur of the moment thing.

Let's take someone young and hungry instead.
