    The head on him, if I didn't know who he was I'd have him down for a right gurrier altogether.

    Coleen could absolutely destroy him in the divorce courts.

    They have been with each other for half of his life. 3 kids, 1 on the way. Cheating with hookers x3. Drink driving. And that's the stuff we know about.

    She would easily get half of what he owns and half of his future earnings.

    I suppose that since when they've been with each other for so long and so young, they are probably in fear of being single. She'd be afraid he could replace her easily. He'd be afraid of her taking the kids. The relationship is toxic.

    A drink driving charge is hardly a deal breaker for her.

    It might be a bit of publicity for her. You'd have to be a bit cunning to have kids with an arse-hole like him so I'd say she's well prepared in her exit strategy.
    This drink thing is irrelevant.

    Unless, of course, the relationship is great and divorce has never crossed their mind?

    There's no defending drink driving in this day and age, but I think if that was cited as a dealbreaker in a divorce court you'd get a Judge peering over his glasses. Cheating is a different issue entirely, but has he done it since they married? And even if he had, is it anyone else's business but theirs as to how it should be regarded?

    if she was willing to stay after the 'granny hooker' debacle, then this will be a piece of cake.

    He's a rotten yoke and he always has been.

    these lads are multi millionaires... can they not just hire a Ray Donovan minder type or at least a chauffeur to ferry them around... no need to even be driving ffs especially when if they are taking a drink ....

    I dunno how one could come to that conclusion. He seems to have kept a low enough profile despite the attention, he hasn't hawked his kids around the media, I recall him and his wife donating a million to Alder Hay children's hospital being the proceeds of the VIP wedding shoot.

    This is one of the strange parts of this story.

    It's has always been clear that rooney has always had issues with his 'lifestyle', but clearly Manchester United have been able to protect him and cover up his foibles, keeping him out of the papers. He moves to Everton, and within weeks is the centre of this story.
    Big **** up by Everton as much as from Rooney himself, they knew what they were getting into, and to leave him swinging like this is poor business. (I'm no fan of Rooney or United by the way)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    To lazy to read. Was he over the limit from the night before? Or was it straight from the pub/club to his car?

    He was up to all sorts of weird things, the Granny thing, the hookers thing, the wedding thing, they were all before he re-joined Everton.
    He's not very bright. Insanely wealthy, but not too smart.

    Was drinking and was driving a young lady home in her car. Presumably he considered her too drunk to drive. So he was being chivalrous really.

    What was the wedding thing?

    The hookers thing? Insanely rich 20 something sports star gets with hookers? Not the weirdest thing I've heard.

    Wow someone with all her own teeth and not a blue rinse in sight. He's a changed man. :pac:

    Colleen is the brains of that outfit.

    I hope the money is worth it to her.

    She's independently wealthy. Books, fashion....she was richer than him when they married. Might have changed in the interim.

    Not really though.... he has been relatively well protected over recent years. The only story I can recall was the one where his mate (was it phil bardsley) knocked him out with a punch while drinking in the house, and that got out because the other lad posted it up on social media. There have been other storied covering up stuff I'm sure, a couple of mysterious injuries around Xmas spring to mind.

    I'd fear for rooney in the future tbh. It would appear he's not the sharpest tool in the box, but at the same time, I wouldn't like to see him discarded onto the scrap heap once he's stopped generating the cash for various vested interests.

    He's not going to last long at Everton if he carries on like this.

    The odds on his next club: Stringfellows - 8/11

    Spearmint Rhino- 3/1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cortina_MK_IV


    His next club could be a 5 iron when Colleen gets home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Are Am Eye


    The "wedding thing" was him having a good few glasses of red wine at a wedding on the week of a match. Slight incident of unprofessionalism at worst.

    The granny thing and prostitue thing were the same scandel. He went for or looked for "mature" hookers. That was a long time ago.

    His big crime was doing the dirt on his wife when she was pregnant. Woman who had forgiven him for the above prostitute thing.

    He'll go the same way that so many of them do; he'll be divorced when his peak has passed and his fame no longer brings in much money, he'll burn through his money on booze, cars and women and be a wreck of a man by his fifties.

    And this is why ronaldo is a genius
    Don't need no baby momma

    And the football stuff too I spose

    Bloody hell. He's being called out on that? That's listed as one of his big wrongdoings?

    Some people really shouldn't read about the scrapes of the likes of the Offaly hurlers back in the day when they played hard and partied harder. And would fall off their chairs if they read of the exploits of teams like the Dallas Cowboys with their "White House" kept stocked up with hookers and drugs 24/7.

    I don't like ManU. But Christ it wouldn't cross my mind to keep tabs on the wrongs of their players, down to drinking wine on the week of a match.

    I guess I was answering a post from a poster with Shankly in his name. Evidently he didn't pick ManU when he was picking which English team he should follow, and that's his prerogative, but no need to get that wrapped up in it all. After all, it's only chance he didn't pick a club Rooney played for...

    He'll bat this off like it never happened, he comes across as one of those people who can shut out any troubling situation, his missus is well aware of his foibles and infidelities but being Mrs Wayne Rooney Plc is a good gig so she'll know how to turn the screw if he's been a naughty boy, new house for the in-laws Wazza?, time to make a dent in the off-shore account.

    He should have tried the amazingly funny Aussie response of "I'm just waiting for a mate". Google or you tube it. It's funny.

    I don't understand this comment. Are you saying that the someone else, ie the sober person, is reresponsible for the accident?
