Rooney: I'm too honest to dive

Wayyne ROONEY insists he would never dive because he is too honest.
The Manchester United and England striker underlined his determination to stay on his feet during games ? even if a growing number of players around him are dropping like flies.
He said: “I’d never dive. I’d like to think of myself as an honest player. That’s the way I play. I don’t like diving, football doesn’t need it.”
Roo is itching to get back on England duty this weekend after his suspension for the red card he received at the World Cup against Portugal.
Rooney, 20, admits that dismissal brought tears to his eyes.
He told FourFourTwo magazine: “It was a horrible moment and a horrible night.
"Personally, I felt I’d let the players down. I was sad and depressed rather than angry. The players told me not to worry, that it wasn’t my fault.
“I appreciated that. And that’s when I felt a few tears in my eyes. I don’t cry often ? and I hadn’t cried when I’d been sent off.”
But Rooney has vowed to keep playing the same, combative way.
He added: “I play the game the way I see it and if that means going in for a tackle then I’ll do it.”

Hypocrite.

everyone says that, yet so many players dive, including our own.

He did exactly the same in the game we drew 1-1 at Old Trafford a few seasons ago. Won them a free kick, which resulted in them scoring a goal.

Obviously tripped over the line. Shame he didn't stub his toe and do his metatarsal again.

I fucking hate the headlines in the press today.

all of them state that Man U were held to a draw by Spurs.

How the fuck is that then?

What game were our British press watching?

Let's not forget the one against Arsenal a few years ago that won a penalty. That was good though.
