Mark Lawrenson: "The FA dish out the punishment here - and even hand out additional bans for frivolous appeals. Seriously, in their position, they should not be appealing. Yet when Rooney is banned they are the first to squeal."

Headline: Do I take Roo?
Harry Redknapp: "I wouldn't start Wayne Rooney in any international from now until the Euro 2012 tournament. But we should definitely still take him to the finals."

Daily Mail
Headline: It's assault!
Matt Lawton: "Rooney is an idiot, but he is an extremely talented idiot and Capello can no doubt imagine the first press conference that would follow his side's progression to the last eight. If Rooney is sitting on a beach somewhere rather than in reserve, it is unlikely to look too clever."

Paul Hayward: "From the ennui Rooney radiated at the South Africa World Cup, it was tempting to think his assault in Podgorica was an attempt to spend as little time as possible in another Fabio Capello fun camp."

Headline: Pole-axed
Henry Winter: "It is manic moments like Rooney's in Montenegro that shred the relevance of fashionable 'Moneyball' principles. Football cannot be reduced to numbers, to player analysis by statistics. Players are creatures of flesh and hot blood, capable of the unpredictable and the inexplicable."

Headline: Three-match Rooney ban gives Capello headache for Euro finals
Gabriele Marcotti: "The news that England will be deprived of Rooney for the group stage sent shockwaves around the continent. For all the talk of globalisation, football is a provincial game ... the rank and file will have only a vague idea of who the likes of Ashley Young, Darren Bent and Andy Carroll are."

Daily Star
Headline: Oh my God
Brian Woolnough: "Will Capello bother to talk with him? He should, but rarely does the Italian get involved with players one on one. Rooney will be desperate to still be involved next summer. Capello, surely, will take him."

Headline: Capello weighs up whether to leave Rooney behind
Sam Wallace: "For all those urging a hard-hearted pragmatism on Capello, the basic truth is that he is in thrall to the talents of England's leading player as much as Sven-Goran Eriksson or Steve McClaren were."
