rooney want a journalist appreciate his privacy

Such is the life of professional footballer W.Rooney. I totally agree with Rooney's statement.

well, once you have such wonderful talent especially in england, your life will certainly come under scrutiny and will be on the watch on every journalist out there.. being a footballer there and being successful at that, will make you a superstar there.. so to say respect your privacy is like saying that to a group of paparazzis and you are the hollywood star.. but you need to see also see what had he done.. and if you are involve in controversies like he is now, it will be pretty hard to ignore it.. you might not know it, but kids look up to athletes or football players especially talented people like rooney.. so people will definitely be interested.. however, i do feel sorry for him and whatever happens, i hope he learnt from his mistakes and move on to become a better individual..

Naturally he wants privacy now!! I mean he did not think about these things before committing the indiscretion. In fact, now he is the third English player in the current team after Ashley Cole and John Terry to get involved in such activities. I do understand that players need their privacy and that should be appreciated, but that does not mean that they can continue to get involved in such indiscretion. I think such players should be sacked from the national sides else they will lead to further players getting into such muck. Cheers! Ram

off course he must do it..but i think he never learn from the mistake from john terry and ashley cole. where both of his senior make a stupid things and make influence not only his personal life but influence their performance in field . what a stupid for you rooney

If Rooney is really so concerned about the mental state of his wife and his family, he should not have done what he did. It is pointless to ask the media to respect his privacy and he goes around the commit adultery behind the wife's back.
