Women’s final at Lansdowne Road
Commenting on the boost to women’s soccer that the decision to host the Cup final at Lansdowne will be, Mr Rooney remarked, “some would say I played football like a woman,” when he was talking about the women’s game.
Although it was a harmless, self-deprecating assertion, in light of other comments from the chief executive in recent days, it could land him in more hot water.
Mr Rooney has already been criticised by Sammy McIlroy, among others, for a joke he made about Northern Ireland football last week.
