TV watchdog rejects Rooney swearing complaints

COMPLAINTS about Wayne Rooney swearing into a camera during a match have not been upheld by the British TV watchdog.

Viewers contacted Ofcom after the Manchester United striker was seen to say “f***” while celebrating a goal in the game, broadcast on Sky Sports.

But the watchdog said that what Rooney said was “not clearly audible and the camera cut away from the scene as soon as it became clear his behaviour was inappropriate”.
