English football rules need clarification.

[abqmufc]

"Football Association director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking concedes the governing body may have to clarify its rules regarding the use of obscene language after Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish went unpunished on Sunday.

In the wake of the FA's decision to ban Wayne Rooney for two games for swearing into a television camera, the language employed in Premier League games has been closely scrutinised.

After Dalglish appeared to tell Arsene Wenger to "p**s off" as the two managers rowed briefly in the seconds following Sunday's dramatic 1-1 draw, it is reported that the FA were contacted by numerous Manchester United fans demanding that the Liverpool manager was also punished.

However, a statement from the governing body read: "We are quite clear that the context of the Rooney incident was wholly different to the other recent incidents cited."

Brooking, though, admits the FA may have to clarify just what constitutes a swearing offence under its rules."

Fuck the Football Association. Rule F6 applies to both players and managers. I guess Wayne Rooney does have a different set of rules than the rest.
