Rooney

[Shogun]

Anyone doubting his ''illness'?

[Shropshire Blue]

No

[everton1952]

Of course.  "I heard from a reliable source..... " you can fill in the gaps. Anything will do as there are some who want to believe anything.

[BlueBeagle]

No

[blargins]

He always gets ill around this time of year apparently.

But we shouldn't be relying on him anyway.

[MmmblueBernard]

Lots of booze around at Christmas.......

Just sayin’

[Thornton_19]

Anyone doubting his ''illness'?

I am.

He wouldn't visit a hospital full of kids if he had the flu.

[bluenuck]

Yes.

I have no idea why, but it does seem fishy for whatever reason.

A grown man, fit professional sportsman no less, off work for a week with a cold?

Time off to save his marriage more like.

[The Analog Kid]

Behave Shogs.

The lad loves playing football and you think he's ringing in sick cos he can't be arsed over Christmas?

He plays for Everton, not work for the fuckin council you bell.

[The Analog Kid]

I am.

He wouldn't visit a hospital full of kids if he had the flu.

You can still go into hospitals if you're ill? To a degree.

Maybe caught it there ?

but to answer the question "no" - read he travelled the WBA last night with the squad but sent home this morning ?

Man flu.

Completely understandable if it's that.

[Shropshire Blue]

Half the world has no idea how we men suffer.

You're an absolute twat if you go into a hospital full of kids you don't know who have no immune systems while you've got the flu though

But then who says he visited at the time the news was released?
