Football Association chiefs will await police reports before deciding whether or not take take any action over an incident in which Wayne Rooney had a mobile phone hurled at him.
The phone was thrown at Rooney as he celebrated his goal in Manchester United's 1-0 victory over Liverpool by taunting the Kop.

This was a disgrace and Liverpool should be severly punished
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

Why should Liverpool be severly punished? It's the one idiot out of 45,000 people that should be punished, and banned from Anfield. He's probably the first Liverpool fan at Anfield to throw someething at an opposing player in the last 20 years. The phone didn't even hit him, or land anywhere near him.
In fact, wasn't there a rule brought in a couple of seasons ago barring opposing players from celebrating goals in front of home fans, in an inciting manner? This was brought in because the likes of Beckham kept going to the away supporters to celebrate goals, thus causing aggressive reactions in the crowd. Rooney should be given another nice little 3 game ban and fine for his behaviour, which was childish and idiotic. Staring down and ranting at the Kop, what did he expect? Especially after he sold his story to the S*n earlier on in the season, a paper that is despised by all on Merseyside. He's almost as stupid as Di Canio
Im not a fan of the fatman but he had every right to celebrate the goal. He received a lot of abuse from Liverpool fans and it works both ways. While I dont think the incident is severe enough to punish Liverpool FC, your argument that one fan should not lead to everyone's punishment, just does not stand up. It was one Roma fan that threw a missile at a ref earlier this season. Roma got punished severely for that.

What punishment did Arsenal recieve when Jamie Carragher was hit by a coin at Highbury (FA Cup game) a few years back? Rooney wasn't hit, there's a difference between being hit and having something thrown at you. In the Carling Cup semi-final, Man U fans threw stuff at Duff at Stamford Bridge when he was taking corners in the second half. There was no rumpus about that.
Rooney went looking for it. He should be punished for it, as it is clearly crowd incitement. A number of Liverpool fans made instant complaints to the police, so there is a police report due on the matter. I wonder will he stare down the Everton supporters who will give him even worse stick at Goodison park? Everton fans, pies at the ready
He'll love that because I read somewhere his favourite food is beans and pies.What punishment did Arsenal recieve when Jamie Carragher was hit by a coin at Highbury (FA Cup game) a few years back?

Mobiles hurt much more when they hit ya but with a fat sumbag head thats used to taking knocks all its life like Fatty Rooneys,I would say he wouldn't even feel it.
A liverpool fan has been arrested but the police won't say if it's a connected issue.Ban the fan and also ban the Fat man for provocking the crowd,thats what I say.
Chamon Mothafcuka......he heeee.
Agree, that's what i said as well
Maybe the mobile phone thrower was an aggrieved grandson? After all, Rooney has shagged half the granny population of merseyside
Because this is alway's the way it works, may not be the fairest way but it is alway's the club who is punished

Rooney should not have gone to the kop end , but at the same time, no way should a phone been thrown, throwing missiles is senseless and stupid. but its fair to say, on merseyside wayne rooney won't get a good reception
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
Was the phone on a contract or was it a pay as you throw phone.?
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
It seems likely that Liverpool will get fined, as thats what usually happens.
For his incitement I think Arbuckle should be given some degree of punishment as well - maybe no sloppy seconds (at dinner) for a month or something.
Someone sent me a link to funny cartoon about him a while ago, entitled "Guess the footballer", its probably a bit too rude to put up on here, but PM me if you want it.

I take it that you absolutey hate man utd ? Ronney was getting abuse everytime he touched the ball, he scored and had every right to do what he did. Why would he do that to Everton fans ? he supports Everton FFS, meaning that he would not like Liverpool, hence it was even sweeter for him to score in front of the kop after being hounded for 21 minutes before he scored. Anfield was stunned (apart from the utd fans) and fell silent, all Rooney was doing was saying - i can't hear you now
United fans didnt throw anything at Duffer, they wouldnt give him the ball back, 2 or 3 match programes were thrown UP in the air.
Nothing surprises me about Liverpool ever since Heysel and when theyre fans attacked the family enclosure. The entire club should have been disbanded at the time.
Their official website is a disgrace in regard to that trying to put the blame on the Italians.
From players involved in bettings scams, trying to attract money from human rights abusers and their fans throwing objects at other teams' players their behaviour wants me to puke. I wont actually contribute anymore to this thread as they disgust me.
Well since you put it in writing that you won't be back I'll just say its good that you won't. It's pretty clear you have a major problem with Liverpool F.C. since you are talking about something that happened so far in the past (Surely this would MAKE you a Liverpool fan). Most people know that what happened at Heysel was down to fans calling themselves Liverpool fans. Liverpool had an exemplory record for fan behaviour in Europe before 1985, the same can not be said of Man U though.
If this "disgusts" you so much, maybe you should live in a cave on Mars because they are far worse things to be disgusted about in this world of ours. (Sir Alex chewing gum with his mouth open for starters).
On a side issue, anyone that thinks a Best Of is their favourite CD needs a slap in the face. Try buying their catalogue
Bye bye Stan. Go off back to collecting cones you useless git.
typical. the famously "good natured scousers" give rooney a load of stick and then when he does score and run on front of them, the liverpool fans are deeply shocked & offended by it and go running to the police.
absolutely pathetic, these "great" supporters should be ashamed of themselves.

Jackell and Hyde post if ever there was one.

Rooney must have known that he was risking getting something chucked at him for what he did- in that respect, he was a bit stupid. That said, the liverpool fans were on his back from the start, and he scored at that end- IMO he's entitled to celebrate his goal there. If fans are going to give abuse, they can't be so bloody sensitive about it if they get a bit back.
Have to say, can't see anything wrong with Rooney celebrating the goal in front of the kop holding his ears - are we that fickle as fans these days that we can happily ignore chants by fans about players wives & children, the colour of their skin etc but are disgusted at a fat cheating scouser holding his ears to the crowd after a goal. (I am not for one minute suggesting Liverpool fans are racist but more so about fans in general who tolerate this kind of behaviour)
I'd love to know how many of the fans who filed police reports about Rooney also gave the seat number of the thrower of the phone or reported incidents of abusive behaviour.
The football world is gone mad when you can no longer celebrate a goal at any end of the ground - home or away! If he has stuck his fingers up or something that would be a different matter but he didn't.

All fair comments IMO about him being entitled to celebrate in front of the Kop. What got my goat was the manner though.
I know there is no correct way of celebrating in front of away fans but to see the fat pr!cks face contorted with hatred made me want to knock his lights out. Then to see him going back for seconds after being pulled away...like I said, no excuse for throwing objects at a player but I'd ALMOST excuse it for him
