    Rooney's Dad as smart as son!

    Un-bloody believable! Wayne's father and uncle arrest for illegal sports betting!

    Wayne Rooney's father arrested in police betting probe

    Wayne Rooney Sr and Steve Jennings were arrested by Merseyside Police
    Nine men, including Wayne Rooney's father, who were arrested in a probe into betting irregularities have been released on bail.

    Wayne Rooney Sr and seven other men had been held at addresses in Merseyside. Motherwell FC player Steve Jennings had been arrested at his home in Glasgow.

    Police said the men had been arrested for conspiracy to defraud.

    The probe relates to alleged betting irregularities surrounding a game between Motherwell and Hearts.

    Concerns about the game, on 14 December 2010, were raised by the Association of British Bookmakers after a number of bets from the Liverpool area were placed on there being a sending off.

    During the match Jennings, who had already been booked, was shown a straight red card for foul and abusive language aimed at referee Stevie O'Reilly late in the 2-1 home defeat.

    'Suspicious betting'
    The 26-year-old, who is from Liverpool and joined Motherwell from Tranmere two years ago, has denied any wrongdoing.

    It is believed that Manchester United and England striker Rooney's uncle Richie, 54, was also among those detained.

    Stewart Regan, SFA chief executive, said: "While the investigation involves several other individuals outwith Scotland, it is important to stress that the evidence gathered throughout this thorough period of investigation has involved only one Scottish match.


    Interview - SFA chief executive Stewart Regan
    "Motherwell FC are aware of the situation and will issue a response in due course."

    In a statement, Merseyside Police said: "Detectives have today executed warrants at 10 addresses across Merseyside and Glasgow and arrested nine men as part of an investigation into suspicious betting activity.

    "The arrests are the culmination of a joint operation with the Gambling Commission and the nine who have been arrested for conspiracy to defraud are being interviewed by detectives.

    "Those arrested are a 29-year-old from Bootle, a 48-year-old from West Derby, a 54-year-old from Norris Green, a 26-year-old from Croxteth, a 22-year-old from Kirkdale, a 31-year-old from Litherland, a 68-year-old from Fazakerley, a 36-year-old from Kirkby and a 26-year-old from Glasgow.

    "The investigation relates to a match between Motherwell and Hearts on December 14 2010."

    from the bbc link has a picture of Dad.

    HE was sent off again! Just when I thought he had grown up again. Let's hope that his dad was not laying the bet for Kid Roonie!

    ha ha - i wish i'd had a bet on it.

    sly little kick at a monte negro defender. makes you wonder. finished 2-2 in the end. both teams qualify i think.

    bad result really. their population is 625,000 people or in real terms that's 300,000 LESS people than in Birmingham!!

    Al don't be bashful. Next time you here a sure thing post me PLEASE.

    I'll hopefully get some hi and low lights tonight. How wonderful if his sending off had cost them the game! England set to underachieve again. Feel sorry for the supporters of that distant land. Always the hope, with the exception of 66, never happens.

    Rooney is a bloody idiot, You can imagine the comments tomorrow in the tabloid press! I honestly thought he had grown up a lot this year playing for Salford Unt. Get's rattled playing for England like that? Wonder if Fergy slips him ridalin before his games in the EPL.
