Liverpool boss Kenny Daglish’s gripe at the FA appealing over Wayne Rooney’s three match ban for Euro 2012 may seem like an unnecessary dig at the United striker.Looking closely though Daglish actually does make a valid point regarding the FA and their penchant for taking the moral high ground when it suits them and not when it doesn’t. Wayne Rooney has been one of the biggest victims of the FAs double standards in recent years and a prime example of how the Chelsea and City fans at Lancaster Gate play by their own set of rules.
Last season we saw Rooney banned for two games for swearing during United’s win at Upton Park, yet he faced no censure for a similar tirade whilst playing for England during the World Cup.
Daglish stated, following the FAs successful appeal of Rooney’s three match Euro ban:
‘I find it a bit strange the FA are supposed to be setting an example for things yet they appeal against Wayne Rooney’s three-match ban.
‘I don’t think that’s a good example to set.
To be fair to Daglish and it pains me to agree with the Liverpool boss, I think he’s bang on the money – at least on this occasion.
