redapple Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I’m looking forward to seeing him and watching him play. But I’m more concerned about us getting the 3 points and hopefully giving Derby a good thrashing as I thoroughly dislike them (anyone remember the last home game of last season ?).

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. Captured my thoughts exactly. He's just an opponent like any other, so no need to single him out for any kind of reception. But also a pleasure to witness an undoubted England Legend make his second appearance at the gate. I saw him play in 2001 in an u17 international against Spain if memory serves me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!!! Exactly my thoughts. Not relevant in a league game. If anything clapping will make it look like our fans are in awe of Derby's talisman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so bothered about Rooney, perhaps because I've seen him play for England a few times, but I got that feeling when our league cup run saw the likes of Ibrahimovic, Aguero and De Bruyne at Ashton Gate, not to mention Pep and Jose. It was totally surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean this to sound cocky, but I always thought when I saw England play live Rooney's all round game was better to see. The amount of work that he put in off the ball was immense and rarely ever came across that way on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I think now that the "all time records" have to be qualified by goals/runs wickets to matches played. Wayne scored 53 in 120 matches compared to Bobby Charlton 49 in 106 matches. With cricket the records are meaningless when there used to be one tour in the winter and one in the summer compared to virtually all year around now.

Bazooka Joe Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hoping we berate him when he trudges off after getting a red card (ideally early in the first half for foul and abusive language after we get our third goal). We can but dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Not a game to bring your grandmother to I would suggest. I will treat Rooney the same as any opposition player, which is largely to ignore them and boo them where necessary. Fans giving an opposition stick probably only motivates them more. It would if I were getting stick from opposition fans. He could be wound up enough to get himself sent off though and maybe that's the message Lee might be giving to our players.

taxidog Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was staying in the same hotel as the England team in Slovenia a couple of years ago. I asked multi millionaire Rooney if he’d sign an England baseball cap for my son, but he walked straight past and blanked me like I was shit on his shoe. Then Jack Wiltshire did exactly the same. We support them when they’re playing for england but as people they’re nothing special. I’ll remember that when I see him next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Rooney from 2004-2010 was liquid football, he could play anywhere along the front three and scored goals left and right. Was lucky enough to be in Lisbon when he ripped Croatia a new one at Euro 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Overrated player imo. Was briefly maybe world class over short period of his career. But I would say there were always a handful of strikers on another level to him in world football. He was awful in every tournament except his first for England. Not sure why anyone would clap him. Maybe it's all the United fans that will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
