Up The City! Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 So with Wayne Rooneys Derby coming to town next week, what sort of reaction will he get at the gate? Personally I'd be tempted to give him a little clap pre match for his England achievements but after that he gets 90 mins of abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he'll get much of a reception really, no history with our club. Probably get slightly louder jeers if he makes a mistake given his profile but that's about it. I think he was a brilliant player, seemed to peak far too early though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'd be totally disinterested in Rooney or any Derby player. Wells, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 If we're winning and he's subbed off, can imagine he'll get applauded off the pitch like Crouch got. Only been subbed once for them though, in a game they won 4-0. So doubt he'll get any reaction at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 ugly, granny poking, thieving has-been. Further, played in the generation when international football totally lost its magic. Never cared for him, care for him even less now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WECANDO Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Reasonable applause for his achievements for England at the start then put Massengo on him and make him go dizzy with his energy and bite. He won't cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 It would be classless and tinpot, not to give the guy an appreciative round of applause, for his England career. During the 90 mins, he’s just an opposition player. But either side of that, I’ll acknowledge his achievements with a clap and hope it reflects well on our club amongst other high profile players.

Three Lions Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 He is already getting a reaction. He is the only reason some will be attending. The company I work part share a executive twelve seat box there is a waiting list from all who use it since Rooney joined Derby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been sat in the stands for his performances v Algeria in Cape Town 2010, and v Iceland in Nice 2016, he gets no free pass, or special dispensation from me. And in any event, Bristol City > England all day, every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I don’t think his England stuff is relevant to me in a City match v Derby. Will be applauding City players, and if Derby player, Rooney or not, does something brilliant I’ll acknowledge it. I do hate “Wayne Rooney’s Derby County”. When it was Lampard, although it annoyed me, he was the manager, so it made sense. Wouldn't mind Rooney getting a 32Red!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was talking to my 8 year old about Rooney this morning as he said that he hoped he’d get injured/sent off Saturday and not be able to play. The point I made to him is that although we go to see City, hope City win and frankly hope Rooney has a stinker, the fact is he’d still be seeing England’s all time top scorer on our pitch. I remember seeing Gullit play at AG, Suarez etc and those are moments of “I saw them”. We all have them with Gazza, Charlton, Matthews or whoever you rate - the names that transcend football. Fact is, Rooney didn’t fulfil his potential and his off pitch antics are questionable. But he’s in the conversation as the best English player in the last 20 years, and is the all time top scorer for the country’s biggest club and the national team. Reception? Will I applaud him - nah, it’s not a farewell tour. Do I want him to have a mare - yes, I’m City. But will I be glad to say I’ve seen him - yep.
