- Rooney has ‘no excuse’ for his foul-mouthed celebration - Christian Horner forced to defend Red Bull’s legality again - Liverpool still unclear over Gerrard’s season-ending injury - Ryan Giggs surprised by Wayne Rooney suspension Rooney has ‘no excuse’ for his foul-mouthed celebration Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:35 AM PDT Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton insists Wayne Rooney has “no excuse” for his behaviour after the Manchester United striker was given a two-game ban for swearing at a television camera. Shilton insists that today’s footballers have a responsibility to show respect, and says icons such as Rooney should be setting an example to the game’s younger players. He told The Sport Review: “There comes a time when players can run out of excuses. In Wayne Rooney's case, the week before he got booked for a really bad tackle, and then the following week he scores a hat-trick and ruins it all by swearing. “I've been a massive Wayne Rooney fan. I think he's a little genius and you do make mistakes as you’re learning your trade and growing up – and you can forgive certain things. “But there comes a point when the penny has to drop. You have to realise you can't go around doing silly things like that. There's no excuse.” Shilton, the most-capped England player of all time with 125 appearances, continued: “It’s very important we don't lose sight of the basic principals. It’s all about money at the top level and winning games. “I think sometimes players can act like Prima Donnas and think they’re in a world of their own. “Every player has a responsibility in the modern game. The top players should help project the game towards the youngsters.” Shilton played more than 280 times for Leicester City and made his first appearance for The Foxes aged 16. And the 61-year-old was back in his home town of Leicester on Friday as part of the npower Home Team Heroes Football League community programme, offering local school children his coaching skills. “It’s great to be back at the club where it all started for me,” he said. “They gave me so much, so it’s nice to be able to give something back.” “All the clubs in The Football League have a got a chance to do something like this and we've done a bit of football coaching today.” He added: “The overall message is respect in the game and I think it's very important you try and get this message across with the youngsters.” The Home Team Heroes scheme is a £2m community initiative which will run over the course of npower’s three-year sponsoship of The Foobtall League, helping each of the 72 clubs in England and Wales. Christian Horner forced to defend Red Bull’s legality again Posted: 08 Apr 2011 05:09 AM PDT Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has again defended his team amid further allegations of potential rule breaking. Red Bull’s rivals have questioned how the team were able to dominate the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, where defending world champion Sebastian Vettel was an impressive 0.8 seconds quicker than McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton. That has resulted in some renewed questioning of the front wing on the RB7, a component that was rigorously investigated last season. The FIA tightened the regulations on front wings in 2010 by increasing the load-bearings test to 100kg, but despite increased scrutiny the RB6 was approved and went on to win three of the last four races as Vettel became the youngest world champion in the final race. Ahead of free practice in Sepang and amid further scrutiny, a clearly frustrated Horner said: "Shall I explain it in very basic words how it works?" "McLaren have developed a car that has a very low rear-ride height, and therefore a low front wing for them doesn’t work. "We run quite a high rake angle in our car. So inevitably when the rear of the car is higher, the front of the car is going to be lower to the ground. "It is obvious science, and therefore our wing complies fully with the regulations. It will look lower to the ground because the rake in the car is higher, but it is simple mathematics." While McLaren has been able to improve their own fortunes for 2011 by copying Red Bull's exhaust system, no team has yet been able to emulate their front wing capability without radically redesigning their cars. "We take it is a compliment to be honest with you," Horner added. "I think our front wing has been tested more than any other in the pit lane, and it complies with the regulations, which is what we have to do. "We don’t have to pass a McLaren test, we have to pass an FIA one, and it complies fully with that. McLaren have developed a car that is effectively a different philosophy to ours. "So the benefit we see from the front wing is different to the one they would see, and that is the basis behind it fundamentally." Liverpool still unclear over Gerrard’s season-ending injury Posted: 08 Apr 2011 04:16 AM PDT Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish admits medical staff are yet to pinpoint the exact injury that has ruled captain Steven Gerrard out for the rest of the season. Gerrard, 30, returned to training last week after undergoing groin surgery last month but suffered another setback last Friday – and Dalglish revealed the Liverpool skipper will not feature again this season. “We still don’t know definitively what the problem is,” said Dalglish. “We will wait to get a precise answer from the people that he has to see but he won’t be involved again this season.” The Liverpool boss admits the loss of Gerrard, who last played for the Reds on 6 March, is a major blow after Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson were injured at West Brom last weekend. Agger will miss the rest of the season with a knee problem while Johnson has been ruled out for at least a month with a hamstring strain. “It is a blow to anyone but it’s more disappointing for the player than it is for us, obviously,” he said. “We just have to get on with it and without being disrespectful to the players who are injured the most important ones are the ones who are fit. “They are the ones who can be chosen. At this particular moment in time I’m as good a player as Steven.” Ryan Giggs surprised by Wayne Rooney suspension Posted: 08 Apr 2011 03:27 AM PDT Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs admits he is surprised by The FA’s decision to uphold Wayne Rooney’s two-game ban for swearing into a television camera. The England forward was charged by The FA after he swore into a Sky TV camera while celebrating his hat-trick during United's 4-2 victory at West Ham last weekend. Rooney has since been ruled out of Saturday's Premier League clash with Fulham and the following week's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City at Wembley after his automatic two-game ban was upheld on Thursday. “I’m not surprised by the furore surrounding it because of the profile Wayne has got,” said Giggs. “But a two-game ban? I’m surprised by that. “It had just never been done before [a player being charged for swearing]. There was no precedent and that’s why we were bamboozled by it.” United are currently fighting for silverware on three fronts but Giggs admits the loss of Rooney for two important games could damage their title ambitions. “Obviously it is a blow,” he continued. “You want your big players flying at this point of the season because it is big game after big game. “You want your special players scoring and Wayne is in good goalscoring form. He is a special player.” You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
