Wayne Rooney will be kicking himself but now he has to prove himself on the pitch to silence his critics, says Jamie Redknapp... Wayne Rooney is an old school player and in years gone by, after a great win, you could go and have a few drinks to celebrate. Ive got sympathy for him because Ive done it myself.When I was playing, there was no better feeling than celebrating with your mates. I was in the dentist chair with everyone else before Euro 1996! Would I do that if I was a player now? Of course not. The problem Rooney has got is that now you have to be whiter than white. This day and age is completely different to when I was playing, with camera phones and social media.When youre someone as famous as Rooney, and youre not in the best of form, you have to be so careful. If you want to have a couple of drinks, fine. But dont get caught at a wedding. Wayne Rooney has let his guard down really badly and hell be kicking himself. Jamie Redknapp As much as it was innocuous - and part of me thinks what sort of people sell these photos? - its a sign of the times that you cant behave like that anymore.Rooney has let his guard down really badly and hell be kicking himself.

Hes not been in the best of form, things havent gone as well as hed have liked of late and as soon as you make a mistake like this you leave yourself wide open for people to slaughter you and jump in. Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price You only have to look at the reaction to the other people involved to realise that. Phil Jagielka was with him. Others were out in London. Whats the difference?Its going to be a tough time for him. And worse, hes put his manager in a really tricky position. Redknapp hopes Rooneys indiscretion doesnt cost him his place in the next England squad Everyone is going to be looking at Gareth Southgate, saying what are you going to do about this now? Does he leave Rooney - his captain - out of his next squad if he gets the permanent role?Theyve just beaten Scotland and it was a fantastic feeling for everyone. But Gareth is now in such a difficult position and if he gets the full-time job and doesnt pick Rooney for the next round of internationals in March, I dont think Rooney could really complain.However, if Southgate did decide to make a statement, leave him out of the squad and then find further down the line we have injuries to forwards and Rooney is bang in form, it could end up being a sticky situation. I hope it doesnt come to that. And I dont think it should. When Rooney stops playing for England, it should be purely on football reasons. I hope they dont use this as an excuse to get him out of the squad.Hes come out and apologised and now he has to focus on his football. Its important he finds some form, starts scoring some goals and doesnt give anyone an excuse to drop him because of this. Perhaps on Saturday against Arsenal - in a fixture hes performed well in previously - he can make some headlines for his footballing ability.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!

Especially for a catcher, as he cheerfully points out. With the game tied in the seventh, Vogt took off from first on Eric Sogards two-out double and beat the throw home to score the go-ahead run in Oaklands 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night. "I can run," Vogt said, smiling. "I played a lot of outfield in the minor leagues and Ive been able to run a little bit, for a stereotypical catcher." Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer in the first, and Sogard came through yet again with a timely hit. The As gained ground on first-place Texas in the AL West race for the second straight day, pulling within a half-game after the Rangers lost at home to Seattle. "Every ones huge now," Sogard said. "Were not in the middle of the game looking at the scoreboard, though." Former As fan favourite Nick Swisher tied the game at 2 in the seventh with an RBI single, and winner Sean Doolittle (4-4) walked the bases loaded before getting out of it with only the one run. Swisher, booed at every chance, grounded out with runners on first and second to end the eighth. Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 32 chances, allowing a one-out walk to Carlos Santana and Michael Brantleys single before Asdrubal Cabrera lined into a game-ending double play as the As held on to win for the first time in five tries this year against the Indians. Cleveland All-Star Justin Masterson (13-9) lost consecutive decisions for just the second time this season. He allowed three runs on seven hits in 7 2-3 innings after coming off his shortest outing of the year, 4 1-3 innings in which he allowed five runs and seven hits against the Angels. The lefty is still looking for his first victory in the Oakland Coliseum. He dropped to 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA in six appearances and five starts. "We couldnt catch a break," Masterson said. "We were getting some good at-bats. We got guys on, we werent able to get that extra one." As starter A.J. Griffin escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth but his pitch count climbed in a hurry and he was done after five innings and 104 pitches. The right-handers winless stretch reached three starts since getting victories in four of his previous five outings. "That many pitches in five innings and youre feeling good about yourself," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "But when you get to the bullpen, this is one of the few teams who can run some pretty good guys out there.ddddddddddddquot; The As held on in their home ballpark after being swept in a four-game series in Cleveland from May 6-9, being outscored 21-8. In the third game of the series, Adam Rosales was denied a ninth-inning home run and given a double by the umpires in a 4-3 As loss -- even after going to replay. Major League Baseball the next day said the umpires made an "improper call," but executive vice-president Joe Torre said the "judgment" decision is final. Griffin and Masterson matched up in that one, too. On Friday, the Indians got on the board in the third on Carlos Santanas single to right. Gold Glove right fielder Josh Reddick wildly overthrew third baseman Josh Donaldson trying to get Swisher. The ball hit the facing of the Oakland dugout and bounced back onto the field, where Donaldson grabbed it and threw home not knowing the play was dead and Swisher would score. Meanwhile, Griffin went sliding into the dirt on his knees apparently thinking he could stop the ball from reaching the dugout. Reddick made a nice reaching catch at the warning track on a hard hit ball by Michael Bourn in the fifth to rob him of an extra-base hit, then Cespedes chased down a drive by Brantley for the third out of the inning as the Indians left the bases loaded. NOTES: The Indians matched a season high by stranding 13 baserunners. ... As CF Coco Crisp is still dealing with stiffness in his troublesome left wrist and sat out three days after receiving a cortisone injection. ... Indians RHP Corey Kluber, on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right middle finger, played catch from 90 feet in right field before the game. He will extend out to 120 feet Saturday. "Hes kind of flying through this," Francona said. ... Cleveland RHP Carlos Carrasco has been moved to the bullpen for now. He allowed 10 hits and four earned runs in 4 1-3 innings Wednesday at Minnesota. Recalled last Friday from Triple-A Columbus, he is winless in seven starts this year and hasnt won since June 29, 2011, at Arizona. ... Francona on Cleveland reserve Jason Giambi, former As slugger: "Hes been a blessing to all of us here. Theres some wear and tear on those tires, hes got some miles on them. But hes still a presence in the batters box." ... Indians RHP Brett Myers, out since April 20 with right elbow inflammation, threw his fourth bullpen and is set for a simulated game Sunday at Double-A Akron. ' ' '
