REGARDING Peter Barron’s comments about Wayne Rooney’s foul language to a referee (Echo, Jan 24).
The referee should have sent him off, he is not indispensable.
Until major teams take steps to stop these tirades what chance has anybody else got?
It is a pity the Echo doesn’t start a campaign on this subject.
It could include the so-called comedians who repeat old jokes but pepper them with extra swear words.
Yes, we all know the TV can be switched off, but who wants to live in a debauched society?
John Barr, Darlington.
