How on earth did Rooney get away scot free after his attack on a Wigan player ?
Is there one rule for rich ,famous brats and another for lower table footballer's ?
The FA copped out big time (nothing unusual there !!) and Fergie said "there was nothing in it " .
One good thing though , potato head Rooney will have to face the Liverpool ,Chelsea and Arsenal fans banter ,unless he cop's out as well ! (which wouldn't surprise me )
The FA are fast becoming a sour joke !!

typical the fa would do nothing. perhaps if he said something un pc(like andy gray) he would be punished. well done the wigan player for not rolling about as if he was shot (see ashley cole for details)
The FA said that the referee had dealt with the situation at the time, i.e. spoke to Rooney about the incident, and therefore were were powerless to do anything else about it. Had the referee not seen the incident, then they could have intervened. If games are going to be refereed by the FA after every game, might as well do away with referees on the pitch all together huh?

the FA should have a strong word with the ref in that matter .
He clearly saw the elbow incident because he gave wigan a free kick , why didn't he send him off ? maybe Rooney was hoping to get sent off and banned so he doesn't have to face the abuse which will come his way when he plays Chelsea ,Liverpool and Arsenal in the coming weeks !. He quite clearly thinks he is untouchable ,£250.000 a week whether he plays or not, dont be suprised if he misses these games with a misterious training ground injury !!!
As for Ashley Cole , i wonder who hit the floor first , the young trainee lad or Drogba ?😉

Couldn't agree with you more! I saw the whole thing and was so stunned as to jaw drop so low I tasted the carpet! A sendoff would have been in order. I had not seen such blatant thuggery since De Jong in the WC final.

you need to watch Gatusso in game against the soon to be European champions, Bayern Munich! Now that is a thug!

If the referee includes the incident in his report, states that he saw it & admits he made the wrong decision then the FA can act retrospectively.

I am anti-thug period. Gatusso or nay others. There are and should not be any sacred cows in any sport. The Rooney thing was so unnecessary. Wigan was overmatched and Chicharito played brilliantly. This sorta thuggery needs to be weeded out entirely!
After all the abuse thrown his way at least Rooney had the good grace to ban himself from playing at Anfield today. Saying he was anonymous in the game wouldn't do his 'performance' justice.
The easiest 3 points we're liable to pick up all season from the worst Man U team I've seen for over 20 years.
That said,I still think they're the most likely team to win the Prem this season.

let not forget the ref in question was MARK 'CLATTERBRAIN' the same ref who 4 seasons ago never gave Spurs the goal when Roy Carrol pulled the ball from behind the line..the same ref that give the Nani goal againt spurs after the United player handballed....there is a pattern here.............😉

Because he is an over-rated prick who has marketing connectons related to appearances for England - banning him will just make him shag more slags and play worse.
