Will YOU be cheering Wayne Rooney again?
It was one of those moments you will regale your bored looking children about in years to come. If like me you have a parent who from birth raised you right & installed the passion for United in you, then you too will have heard their stories of “I was there when…” It’s those iconic moments that forever live on in the fan’s hearts, from when United lifted the Treble or when Cantona kung-fu kicked that Crystal Palace fan. But it’s the truly spectacular goals that stand out the most whether it is an amazing cross in with flair or just a crucial win over an enemy. (More …)

Yes i certainly will cheer him when he pulls the red shirt on again ! This will not be done out of blind faith but more because i’m not prepared to believe everything the press writes about the subject.
Do any of us know the real truth ? I though the statement Rooney issued regarding the squad and future investment was very telling in so much as the last two lines when he spoke about Sir Alex and he said ” He’s a genius and its a shame he can’t go on for ever” How do we know that one of the assurances he was looking for was how much longer SAF was going to stay on. Does the club actually know the answer to that ? Maybe they didn’t and so had to answer Rooney in the negative but then the way things panned out maybe Fergie himself has given the lad a better idea of how long he’s staying around.
Whatever went on we will only maybe find out when Sir Alex retires and does a tell all book. Until then Rooney will get the same support from me as the other ten players that take the field my full unadulterated support.

That’s a great post and mirrors just about everything emotion our fans have. Like Phil, I will be cheering for Rooney when he hits the pitch again. His form has been noticeably absent since after he returned from the ankle injury against Bayern. His WC was non-existent along with the beginning to this campaign. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to know that the world knows all about your infidelity and that it could leak at any moment. The way he went about getting a pay raise was shady and backhanded, something that fans will not soon forget. But here’s my reasoning for cheering…He’s heard enough boo’s. He’s heard enough threats. He still wears the shirt and he’s still a United player. For me, that’s family. You’d forgive a family member, even if they did something wrong. He needs every voice behind him when he returns. Jeering him and yelling is counterproductive to his success. He’ll need to earn my respect, but he’ll definitely have my voice behind him, because his success on the pitch is United’s success in the standings. And, I’m 100% behind United.

The “Rooney Complex” at OT created the situation in the first place. Nuff said.
