Wayne Rooney banned after admitting drink-driving

I hope his community service isn't the predicatble coaching kids as that's not punishment but rather something he will hate like brushing the streets of this City or doing work in an old folks home.

Let him and his family get away for a break and sort themselves out and he will come back like a new signing. Good luck to him, he is one of us and always will be.

Jealous?

I fully admit that there is not enough if any sign of progress yet. But nonetheless, experience suggests that these things can take time and we have had an unbelievably tough start to the season.

Like I said, if there's still no sign of progress in another 6 weeks, when we have played a variety of teams and not just the top 4, then I'll be prepared to get out the banners...

I didn't want him back at GP but he is back and I, like everyone else, has to accept and make the most of it – from a pure footballing standpoint, I can't see any merit or justice in leaving him out of the team as a punishment for DUI.

Those with long(ish) memories will recall the groundswell sense of injustice when, having served a prison sentence for his offence, the SFA also banned Duncan Ferguson. Double jeopardy we called it and Rooney would be entitled to feel the same if the Club added to his judicial sentence by suspending him.

I've read that the Club is to fine him – I assume this will be for drinking rather than for DUI.

I don't understand why some people are still laying into him. Everyone makes mistakes, they should pay for them, but they should also be supported through them.

You're all supporters – so support.

I simply do not understand why Everton supporters on are his back, when he's still the most talented player in our entire squad.

Did you see his performance against Man Utd?! The kid is still a class act, holding the ball up, running end to end, he gassed himself – unlike half of the rest of them.

As someone who lost a family member due to a drink driver, I don't see why I should just turn a blind eye to Rooney's disgraceful actions and just 'support' him.

Exactly like Stephen (#10), I support the club, not Wayne Rooney.

He was way over the limit, and voluntarily pulled over without causing any injury or problem. I see that as a different offence.

Yes, he could have caused death or injury, but he didn't, did he.
