Not moaning about the red but the ref should have sent Rooney off as well for trying to choke the lad straight after

Was Rochembacks free kick really 40 yards out? I know it was a long way and one of the best free kicks anyone will ever see - but surely not 40 yards?

I nearly said Southgate but wasn't sure.

I don't think he was supposed to be.
