As predicted the SKY coverage is all about ROONEY. I have lost count of how many times his name has been spoken in the first five minutes. It will be sickening if he scores and Derby win. I have never wanted an upset result more than tonight. No Woodrow - Sky didn't mention his name yet. Gerhard Struber made a quick appearance and smiled for the camera but he had his Apple Ibuds in. What was he listening to? The Sound of Music? Edelweiss? Who knows. Wouldn't it be awful if Rooney suffered a season ending injury this evening? Well, wouldn't it? would it? Give him time to swot up for his coaching badges.
He will be easy for the Sky camera's to pick out on the pitch... Just seen him warming up - looks rather 'plump' to say the least.
Is it his testimonial or something tonight? I’ve never cringed as much at a pre match build up in my life.
I hope we pi*s on Rooney's parade tonight but with Brown and Woodrow out it could be a long evening! Time for Schmidt to step up!
Just interviewed Struber and gave condolences re. Chris Barker. Back to the Rooney show after the break!
"They [the Barnsley players] are going to be playing against a player they've grown up absolutely worshiping." Pffft!
F*ck sky. I'm watching on Ifollow. I'll never give sky a penny of my money, their coverage is absolutely sh*te and they only care about the top 6 in the premier league. Surely theres a streaming service that can focus on the championship, and leagues 1 and 2. Theres a big enough market for it. Until then ifollow is more than good enough for me.
Of course they have. Had 5 minutes about some guy playing football in USA. Not sure of the relevance like...
