Port Said Red Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I have never seen him play live and I am interested to do so. I am of a generation that was brought up to appreciate good players no matter who they played for. In my experience the difference between the good and very top players is they way they play the ball. Le Tissier, Bobby Charlton, Ardiles, Hoddle, Brooking, and players of that level seem to stroke the ball, rather than kick it. It must be in the timing, but it looks a different game when they play.

reddogkev Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 What's he ever done to City to warrant booing? All-time England highest goal scorer, will be a privilege to see him at Ashton Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 He'll be booed when he comes over to the SS/Dolman corner if he's on their set pieces. Just like every other player gets. Be a bit weird if we single him out to boo everytime he's on the ball, he's an England legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he’ll probably more annoyed if he doesn’t receive any abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason for him to be boo'd, no history with us at all. It would be the actions of a small club's fanbase if we purposely single him out.

AppyDAZE Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Booing = tinpot Clapping = tinpot Ignoring = not tinpot? (but very, very difficult because like it or not he is a world football superstar) Gonna be very strange. I'm just hoping he's not going to be on his game tonight. But I am looking forward to seeing him play too, I have to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my generation Rooney was a constant part of the England set up, and it’s a very rare thing indeed to see someone of that calibre out on the AG pitch as an equal. During the game of course, he’s any other opposition player, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to seeing one of the greatest English strikers of all time play at AG.

Bazooka Joe Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Will the grannies be waving their bloomers in the air as he comes on the pitch? Possibly, as many consider him a tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
