Rooney appeals against the ban for swearing

(CNN) - attacking Manchester United Wayne Rooney appealed his suspension two games for swearing, in a weekend and television camera even though he admitted the charge on Tuesday.


The Association of Football (FA) prohibited the England international after he shouted a tirade of curses to the bottom of the camera after scoring the third goal of his hat-trick in the victory of 4-2 at West Ham last Saturday.


And the FA acted quickly despite Rooney issuing an apology for his behaviour on Saturday evening.


Wonderful Mourinho record falls - but will it ever be beaten?


The ban would amount to 25-year-old Rooney missing against rivals Manchester City England Cup semi-final later this month, and the case will be heard next Wednesday.

Are football stadiums, "no oath" areas?
-Rio Ferdinand on Twitter

Manager of Manchester United Alex Ferguson organized a press conference before of Wednesday Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea, but he refused to talk about the situation.


"We have nothing to say about this." "I will not discuss everything", he told journalists. "We have submitted our case."


Rooney has received the support of the club and international teammate Rio Ferdinand, who has written on the social networking site Twitter after the announcement of the FA: "So, just for clarification is swearing prohibits the field completely."


The advocate wrote Sunday: "are"no oath"football stadiums areas?" When I take my children to a football game, I get a helmet coz swearing agree!

"Newspapers and radio, come on give Wayne a break." He knows what he was doing was wrong and apologized, he has spoken this morning and sincerely sorry... "
