Rooney gets warning

Wayne Rooney has been given a warning and told he must not let his emotions get the better of him or he may suffer a repeat of the red-card he was given at the last World Cup.

Rooney was booked in the warm up match agains Platinum Stars for dissent and made a few challenges that were possibly over-enthusiastic.

The referee for the match received an apology after the match and was given Rooney's shirt, but even so he still issued Rooney with a warning. In an interview the ref said:

"I was very disappointed in Rooney because he is my favourite player He is a good player when you see him on the TV, but when you see him on the pitch, he just keeps on insulting the referees. To me it looks like Rooney insults people and fouls other players. If he insults a referee like me then he will use that vulgar language to other referees as well. He must learn to control his temper. He could get sent off in the World Cup, especially if he uses this kind of language."
