WAYNE ROONEY SAYS that he will consider finishing his career in Major League Soccer but insists that his only focus at present is Manchester United.
Steven Gerrard became the latest England star to move to the United States when he swapped Liverpool for LA Galaxy, following in the footsteps of David Beckham and Frank Lampard.
Rooney, currently in America for the Red Devils’ pre-season tour, has now revealed that he is open to the possibility of sampling MLS later in his career.
“I’m obviously concentrating on Manchester United,” Rooney told the Seattle Times. “When that time comes, that [MLS] will be something that I will think about.
“I’ll sit down with my wife and children and decide if it would be right for me.”
The departures of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie from Old Trafford this summer have left Rooney as the club’s only senior striker.
Louis van Gaal is known to be in the market for more firepower, with Rooney top-scoring last term despite netting just 12 league goals, but looks set to miss out on Christian Benteke as Liverpool prepare to trigger the Belgian’s release clause.
Referees I find have a bias against the weaker counties in hurling. The constant slapping of Galway players by Kilkenny in the League semi-finals went unpunished whereas counties like Carlow, Antrim, Laois etc… are carded for less on a regular basis.
As a football referee, we can’t really ref with the head if you want to move up the levels. Every single foul has a certain punishment and if refs don’t enforce the rules fully then they can’t go up the levels.
There’s a lot more common sense reffing at the lower levels where no one’s expecting you to tick every small foul and the game goes a lot more smoothly..
Ref mite or mite not have been correct on o Dwyer last year but he has a fairly poor record overall so seems those fellas jump out in front of him quite a lot…
Do agree on comment that there would appear to be different criteria at times for certain teams….
Dubs would have had cork and put it up to clare in the final. Have a good feeling about this year. Dubs for the double!!
First card was a bit harsh last year but I think he got away with another one or two couple before the second yellow. I thought the second one was………he knew it too. Anyone that throws their hands up instantly like that generally knows they are after doing something wrong. Would actually be a lot better player if he could control his aggression a bit on the field.
