DJFern94 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 You have to admit, if the media didn't make this into the huge thing it is now; no one would question Rooney wearing 32. They are making his name synonymous to gambling by posting it everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, The Daily Mail don't write "excellent articles". Secondly, if The Daily Mail are on your side, that's not a good thing. It probably means you're doing something evil.

Bit of a generalisation,eh?? Rabble rousing hurrah for the black shirts aside, even the mail has the occasional worthwhile bit of journalism or opinion piece. I don't think any of the daily newspapers are really sufficient quality for the cover price these days.

SamUltraRam Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So alcohol and tobacco companies have been banned from shirt and competition sponsorship and inevitably, betting companies will be next. But they will replaced with car manufacturers and food suppliers who aren't exactly exempt from air pollution or sugar dependency/obesity. Maybe the church will end up as main sponsors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the congregation that for every Rooney 32 shirt sold, 32Red will give a fiver towards the new roof. The following week they will all be wearing it!

Sith Happens Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 5 hours ago, Gladys' Handbag said: Here's an 'exclusive' in The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/08/exclusive-derbys-decision-hand-wayne-rooney-no-32-shirt-couldbe/ It seems that the number 32 could be interpreted as advertising and a breach of FA rules - "Under current regulations, clubs are allowed to designate "one single area not exceeding 100 square centimetres on the back of the shirt" to any sponsor. Advertising standards sources suggested the decision to give Rooney the 32 shirt in association with betting firm 32Red could be interpreted by the FA as a potential breach in the rules. Derby can only be approached by the governing body after Rooney takes the field in January, and the promotion effectively becomes live. The FA is understood to be aware and monitoring the situation." So the FA are 'monitoring the situation', maybe a very small number or just change it to 666. It seems someone is talking baalocks. Its his squad number nothing else. Will they be monitoring the situation with all other clubs sponsored by 32 red to see if they have a number 32 in the squad? People are just making things up.

A certain Mr Stephen Wearne is registered as playing in the number 32 shirt, the same as his principal shirt sponsor 32Red (a betting company I believe?), thereby clearly contravening EFL sponsorship rules. The offending club.......... Middlesbrough. Oh dear Mr Gibson. Book em Danno. Preston up in court as well , they've got Adam ORielly wearing number 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
