Too emphasise the point there's some Bleacher report footage of Slur Alcho when confronted by several reporters telling a Daily Mail employee "you and your paper can f**k off," a good example indeed not to the young but of a foul mouthed old drunkard.
Is that any different then Dalglish telling Wenger to "piss off"?
Or players swearing at camera's or hearing cursing chants at games?
We live in a society where everything a footballer says or does is lightened up in the media.
You could say Rooney is a bad "role model" which he is because he cheats on his wife, swears in public to millions of viewers - including young kids and just has a general arrogance to everyone.
Same could be said for Andy Carroll - beating up his girlfriend - a woman beater - or perhaps it was because he "throw" glass into another team mates face.
Also I don't think managers are role models to young kids - the footballers themselves are.
