He assaulted one of the players for absolutely no reason, of course he should be targeted by the fans/media. At the end of the day if the elbow had been lower down the Wigan players face, it could of broken his jaw.
Rooney is a thug.
Lol talk about blowing things out of proportion.
He ran past him and elbowed him. It wasn't even a full connection - he clipped him. Yes it was a red card, but the player didn't make a meal out of it and played on. He wouldn't have "broken his jaw".
I did clearly say had it of been lower
A small little knock can cause injury's as well!
It can cause injury, but it doesn't make him a thug. Is DJ Campbell a thug for pushing Richard Stearman in the face for no reason?
I thought not.

DJ was pushed first then he reacted, something may have been said to Rooney earlier but regardless he elbowed him in the head.
Should be a 3 game ban.

It's obvious it should have been a red, and it would warrant an extended ban. If this was Barton he would be crucified by everyone.
Err...yes, it does. :S But he was provoked, Rooney was not, afaik.
The ref didnt not see the situation so therefore cant issue a red card, a free kick maybe because he was holding his face, it was ment proably but in a way he was shifting as explained on MOTD last night so he could of been just waving hands.
It is tho, because he is wayne rooney and everything hes been trhough this season, typical english media will slaughter him for something that maybe could of been accidental but fergie has said the right things as he will be given names now.Dispicable.
