Wayne Rooney has
lost his appeal against the two match ban that he was issued with following swearing at a camera during a match againstWest Ham United at the weekend. He will now miss this weekend's match against Fulham in the Premiership, and the F.A. Cup Semi-Final against rivals Manchester City.
This is his response.
"Whatever, I have to accept that what's happened has happened and move on from here. That is what I intend to do."
A statement from the FA said:
"A Regulatory Commission has suspended Manchester United's Wayne Rooney for two matches. Rooney had admitted a charge for the use of offensive, insulting and/or abusive language, but claimed that the automatic penalty of two games was clearly excessive. The Commission did not accept the claim and Rooney will begin the standard two-match suspension with immediate effect."
