'Roo's dirty' claim Estonia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAYNE ROONEY has been accused of dirty tricks by the Estonian who helped him end his goal drought.

Striker Rooney grabbed his first competitive strike for England in over three years thanks to a deflection off defender Raio Piiroja.

But Piiroja claims he was elbowed by the Manchester United hitman in the first half of this Euro 2008 qualifier at Wembley on Saturday. He insisted: “Rooney is a dirty player. He is very strong and physical and does things which Estonian players do not do.

“I finished the game very angry with Rooney. He is more dangerous with some of his play than the defenders.

“English players use elbows when they jump and that is not good for football. I think Rooney should have had a yellow card but he is a big star and referees do not seem to punish famous players, physical opponent.

“I can’t make excuses because England were better than us and the game was over after 20 minutes. But I think England will have a much harder game in Russia.”

Estonia keeper Mart Poom reckons England will qualify from Group E.

The Watford man said: “In the second half, England were thinking about the Russia game.

“When they were 3-0 up after half an hour I thought ‘Oh my God, this is going to be really embarrassing — they could score a hundred’. But England calmed down a bit in the second half and we regrouped.

England’s stand-in skipper Steven Gerrard warned: “Wednesday is a massive game.

“We’ve got to be on our toes. The atmosphere will be different in front of their supporters and we’ll be playing on a surface we’re not used to.”

dat could have earned rooney a red card! dat mcClown still got the creep to kpkb dat it was not a penalty.

haha... ok.. tell me when was soccer fair??? its a man's game.. not those sec sch games goin around saying not fair not fair when lost.

Basically Rooney just happen to "hug" the Russian guy a bit & they happen to be on the line of the penalty area.

The Ref decided that it a foul within the area & that is that.

We know what happen after that.

Everyone shld just accept that fact including Macgoreng.

HOW CAN A ALL-STAR ENGLAND TEAM LOSE TO A SUB WIF A NAME LIKE PA CHU CHEN-KO, THAT IS SUMTHANG I WANNA KNOW.

He just sounds like a man's "favourite" past-time in chinese!

that is rooney for you aggressive bulldog

bulldozing the opponent sometimes abit too much

Рома, спасибо тебе!!!!!!! Мальчики - вы молодцы!!! Круто обломали этих англичан.
Спасибо, что вы выстояли против них Rooney!!!
Дай Бог вам всем счастья и удачи!!!
Мы будем чемпионами!!!!!
Россия - вперееееееееееееееед!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notice that Rooney even dives after he fouls the Russian player.

Natural reaction or wat?

The "foul" happened outside the area. The ref got it wrong.

Besides, where's Joe "Bald head" Cole when he's supposed to be covering the left ?

I'll agree it's not easy to find pictures of the match, so TS must have gone to great lengths and time to find THAT specific shot.

Rooney being overly aggressive is certainly not something new, what’s funny is how certain people take a particular interest to talk only about him. Just like how some people like to single out Lampard and blame him for everything.

About the penalty, this is what I feel. It was definitely a foul, but was it a inside the box? I'm quite sure it wasn't. But then, we have the benefits of replays. Everything happened so fast.

Ultimately, it was a poor performance by England. If they had played better and taken their chances, this penalty won't even be an issue.

In fact, the penalty taken wasn't really a well-taken penalty, a better keeper might have saved it. Perhaps someone like Petr Cech, Van Der Sar just not Robinson or even David James. Still, credit to Russia for taking their chances. At least it was on target.

it is good that England continues to lose, for then it will force the FA to act.

get a good english coach, and limit the foreigners.

else, it is just a vicious cycle.. English League good, but english footballers bad.

Good English coach?

That's a paradox in itself.

There are too few top English coaches in the EPL, and even then, Alan Curbishley, Sam Allardyce were better managers than McClaren, but the FA appointed that joker anyway. Hell, Bobby Robson would have done a better job than McClaren too.

English to be honest dug their own grave, and I for one sure won't miss a Euro 08 without England.

What they need to change is the way they play football, which means from the grassroots up..which means it would take more than a decade before results can be seen. Provided they want to change of course.

In the meantime, I would enjoy seeing the decline of the English national team.
