Never said you dont have a right fella, but i aint the one astounded by other peoples comments, and obviously you think its unfair, which looks like a bit of a problem to you.

_______________________

I know you never said I didn't have the right, and the fact you've now replied like this shows I got my point across using your phrasing, since I felt the same way i.e. it was silly to reply to my original comments by suggesting I'd said you didn't have the right to comment negatively on Rooney for his performance v Everton when I'd done no such thing.

I also don't know what me being astounded by the general negativity against Rooney from his own fans (not specifically v Everton, but generally, ongoing, day after day, match after match, season after season) has to do with your right to speak or comment. I can be shocked, surprised or astounded by anything, it doesn't affect anyone's right to comment.

I'm not totally sure what specifically you are referring to when you say 'and obviously you think its unfair, which looks like a bit of a problem to you.'

But I'll reiterate what I said before, because I'm not sure you've understood the GENERAL point I was making, as I have no issue with people criticising a specific performance, or an aspect of Rooney's game etc etc, but the fact he gets slated every single day, month, season on these boards by his own fans, despite what he brings to our team, amazes me.

It may not amaze you, and if you think overall Rooney deserves more criticism than praise from his own fans for his general performances, especially with regards to pulling his weight in the team, then that's your prerogative, but as I said before it's also mine to think the total opposite.

Maybe you've just taken the comment a little personally, but when I made it I wasn't aiming it at you specifically, it was the general negative tone of the comments/articles over a long time when it coms to Rooney.

Seems a tad contradictive.

As the highest or one of the highest paid players in the team, who wanted to leave unless he had guarantees of future quality signings etc, I would of thought he would stay on top of his fitness and game to prove he is worth every penny.

I dont take anything personal on here mate
