The FA are looking set to punish Derby boss Wayne Rooney over his interview comments made about John Terry promoting the Amazon documentary.
Rooney may be in trouble with the Football Association after he claimed to have deliberately changed his football boot studs to “hurt someone” during a match.
The FA has got in touch with the former England player after he made the claims regarding a Premier League match between Man Utd and Chelsea in 2006.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday, he said he changed his studs to “long metal ones” ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge to “try and hurt someone”.

The 36 year old said: “We knew if Chelsea won then they had won the league that day.
“Until my last game for Derby, I always wore the old plastic studs with the metal tip.
“For that game I changed them to big, long metal ones – the maximum length you could have because I wanted to try and hurt someone, try and injure someone.”
Manchester United ended up losing the game 3-0 and John Terry “left the stadium on crutches” after being taken down by Rooney.
“I left a hole in his foot and then I signed my shirt to him after the game”, Rooney said.
“A few weeks later I sent it to him and asked for my stud back.”
On Monday, Terry replied to his former fellow footballer’s comments saying: “Wayne Rooney is this when you left your stud in my foot?”

Derby told Sky Sports News that Rooney will not be making any further comments at this time.
During the interview, he also discussed his battle with binge drinking and his early career saying: “I had made a lot of mistakes when I was younger”.
In 2002, the Football Association fined Roy Keane £150,000 and gave him a five-match ban after admitting in his autobiography to intentionally hurting then-Man City midfielder Alf-Inge Haaland.
Twitter users reacted as the FA get set to punish Derby boss Wayne Rooney over his interview comments…
@Ginaldum: So they have time for this from 2006 but won’t act on Zouma
@karimmenem2: so fa ignores zouma abusing his cat less than 24 hrs ago but seek clarity for a case from 2006?
@NickCorste: 16 YEARS AGO.
@Chrisstirland03: Lads. Half of football twitter wasn’t even born when that match happened. I think we can leave that in the past
@alexanderdack: They’ll probably try and take more points off Derby as a result 😂 For full disclosure, I believe it was the EFL and not the FA that deducted points off Derby, but that doesn’t quite work for the purposes of the joke haha
@socialmediajon1: Oh ffs leave it alone FA, how about banning players who kick cats around
@timetogobill: What are they going to do give him a red card
@John04407982: How about trying to focus on something happening nowadays, like the crap refereeing
@UnitedStorm7: How about we forget what happened 16 years ago and sort VAR out NOW! Absolutely embarrassing and corrupt to the core.
@TommyBumdell: Zouma volleyed a cat the other day fellas, might wanna look into that. Oh and Greenwood is a beast, how about that one?
@RobbyRoooo: Damn I hope he doesn’t get a match ban
@MaximilianCFC: FA should give a retrospective red card and ban him for 3 games.
@Rams_Chat: EFL and Steve Gibson will be wanting us to get another points deduction for this
@HenryHastings_: Who cares, footy was real back then and it was only a few years ago. Game has gone completely soft just like the pissing world, snowflakes everywhere
@ManYooDan: How about seeking some mates you corrupt bastards @FA
@Bgraay: Got to be a wind up surely
@LostPropertyy: They’ve literally got a player who’s booting a pet round his house, but they’re bothered about what Rooney did in 2006. Such a fucked up organisation.
@mufcshirts: He said that he used his long metal studs to put a hole in the racist’s foot and was unrepentant about it. Clear enough for you, FA? Plus it was 16 (sixteen) years ago. Piss off.
@Jack3verill: BREAKING: EFL deducts Derby a further 10 points due to incident regarding manager Wayne Rooney in 2006.
@LiamCrook1: You really are worried about this now
@RLCFC1993: What’s to clarify? He wanted to injure him. The studs were regulation, Terry had a good laugh about it now and it’s was 2006. Have a day off.
@darklingskai: Are they THAT bored?
@NicJB21: No flies on the FA is there.
@CitizenF__: Good to see that @FA have their priorities right and are tackling the big issues in football today.
@Brottonred: Jesus haven’t they got bigger things to worry about
@Reds30082: They are also looking into rumours Vinny Jones grabbed Gazza by the bollocks…..
@1905London: The FA really spending their time wisely.
@FBI76380047: It was literally 16 years ago and you want to do that wow the fa are actually the worse 2006 though
@c_southan: Fuck sake. What ya gona do send him off?
@GaryNotBarry2: @fa it was 16 yrs ago – whats it matter now. be better off looking into a few other areas that are a bit more important than whether or not wazza was wearing long studs because he wanted to 2-foot terry. who wouldn’t?
@DylanDaviess: All the footballers being best buddies is shite, love this x
@M_L_F95: RIGHT FUCK OFF NOW, what are they gonna do go back and fine him for a match n 2006 because he was a savage, same savage mentality made him win everything at Man United and make that team fucking unreal. This whole cancel culture thing is getting on my fucking nerves, its pathetic
@AFCLee_: I can’t believe English football accepts this as part of the game but throws a fit over diving
@b_jones1997: Football used to be a lot more entertaining back then
@DaleMarsden1909: How much more clearer can it be? Rooney wanted to injure a Chelsea player in 2006.
@Nabyllionaire: Games gone
@L3ahx00: The EFL to dock Derby 12 points
@jimmymcbride1: This fills me with hope they’ll check that Bobby Stokes goal for offside .. the cheating fukcer
