even though its out of season is it write for englands so called " golden boy " to smoke
This, of course, is not the first time Rooney's vices have courted media attention, but the sight of one of the country's leading professional sportsmen sucking on a cancer stick is likely to baffle as much as disappoint.
Surely, the casual viewer might think, if your livelihood depends upon good health as well as natural talent, to risk it for a nicotine hit makes no sense.
Rooney is on his honeymoon and generous observers might suggest that he could be forgiven a relaxing drag after certain exertions. The glaring, alabaster sheen of his torso in the pictures certainly suggest that, as is traditional on such occasions, he hasn't seen a great deal of daylight on the trip – though Colleen's teak-rich tan suggests that she at least has found opportunity to soak up some sun.
Such is his media profile that Rooney is likely to come in for stern criticism for his habit. Fair or not, Rooney is charged by many to be a role model for his adoring young fans.

meh a croatian soccer player by the name of Prosinecki was thought to have smoked at least 3 packs a day
he was still an amazing player
-
yes but hes also supposed to be a role model to kids, now this and the brothel scandal :down:
-
well its kinda unfair for sports players
why are they supposed to be role models? y do they have to be the perfect person?
you know what i mean?
-
Yeah I understand.
It's his life, if he wants to fuck it up, it's his choice right? :dontknow:
-
yea thats pretty much the way i see it
too much pressure on well known people to do everything proper and right
-
well its his choice if he smokes but in my opinion if you're gonna be a pro sportsman and and you either smoke or drink lots then you're just being a cock and you're gonna ruin your own career so on your own head be it, and it lessens my opinion of that person.

Joachim Low was seen 'calming his nerves' in a stadium box when banned from the touchline for Germany's Euro 2008 match with Portugal this month.
"What should I say about it? It is my private thing," he said afterwards. "I am just human, with strengths and weaknesses. I smoke a cigarette sometimes, or drink a glass of red wine in the evening. It is not as if I am a hedonist."
And neither is Rooney, whose commitment to training and professionalism, despite his rough around the edges image, has consistently been complimented by managers and trainers
he'll be fine
-
how can a girl like that face. disgusting.
now back to topic just one cig damages your muscle and effects the way you move.
-
yeah, he pretty much has cancer
-
If Rooney even farts, we have to know!!!! :down:
-
a bad idea of him! really stupid
-
smoking is stupid! but he can do whatever he wants as long as it doesnt affect his performance im sure man u feels the same way since they are paying his wages. the great Michael Jordan was seen smoking a cigar after his 96 championship win. its his life he can do whatever he wants.
-
You don't inhale cigars at least normal people don't. Me on the other hand I do it anyway.
-
what's it matter if he smokes or drinks..ppl need to grow up
-
if anything happens it will be because oh him and now when he maybe misses a good chance for whatever reason the Press will blame the smoking
dam press/media
-
yeah the spanish and english press are the worst! anything for a headline
-
1 cigarette won't hurt him much :) every footballer smokes on holiday, but then they stop it because they can't run much.
Here is a picture of Berbatov smoking :)

If he wants to smoke let him smoke
If it affects him negatively on the field he has himself to blame
