Wayne Rooney has received a one-match touchline ban and a £5,500 fine from the Football Association for misconduct during Plymouth Argyle's 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers on October 5. The charges stemmed from his angry outburst at the fourth official after Blackburn's equalizer, which he believed should have been disallowed, leading to his dismissal for using abusive language. Following his ejection, Rooney returned to the pitch to celebrate Plymouth's winning goal in stoppage time. He admitted to three charges related to improper conduct, including returning to the field after being sent off. As a result of the ban, Rooney will miss the upcoming match against Cardiff City, with assistant Pete Shuttleworth stepping in as head coach. Rooney expressed his frustration over the incident but acknowledged it is part of football and stated he would move on from it.
