2030: FOOTBALL - Former Tottenham manager David Pleat says he would "definitely appeal" the three-game ban handed to Wayne Rooney for Euro 2012, he told BBC Radio 5 live : "It was serious foul play, but I don't think the appeal would be frivolous. Quite frankly, if we can't get through from the group stage without Rooney than honestly Capello should have a nice cappuccino and say arrivederci. The upside of Rooney's ability definitely outweighs the down side of his short fuse."

2024: TENNIS - Read BBC Radio 5 live's Tennis commentator Jonathan Overend's thoughts on the news that Spaniard Rafael Nadal will not be taking part at the AEGON Championships at London's Queen's Club next year for tax reasons, opting instead to sign a new deal with the rival grass court tournament in Halle, Germany.

2015: GET INVOLVED - Alan L. Jones on Twitter: "#bbcsportsday I can remember the nation's shame when England first had a player sent off - Alan Mullery. Rooney has been sent off TWICE..."

2007: FOOTBALL - BBC Radio 5 live's chief football correspondent Mike Ingham tells 5 live that: "Unless a possible appeal is reduced he is likely to be out for half of the tournament, so I think the punishment is slightly excessive. I think Rooney is the only player that Fabio Capello would still consider taking under the circumstances, but the one thing that musn't happen now is that there shouldn't be a phobia over Wayne Rooney - England need to move on."

2000: FOOTBALL - BBC Sport's Phil McNulty on Twitter: "To those insisting Fabio Capello would be mad to take banned Wayne Rooney - he would be even crazier to leave him behind, like him or not."

1947: FOOTBALL - Former England captain Alan Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm not surprised. When you look at it, it is violent conduct, and more often than not that carries a three match ban. It's not only a huge blow to the team and the fans but to Wayne Rooney himself. Should he still go to the tournament? Absolutely, definitely yes. If they get through to the knockout stages then it's a world class player coming back into the team."

1918: FOOTBALL - David Davies, former executive director of the FA, told BBC Radio 5 live: "There is always a suspicion that somehow England get badly treated. We certainly make a greater noise than others. The key thing here is that since this happened last Friday night, there's no doubt that there was a feeing around Europe that this was a serious offence. It's been treated that way. Could an appeal possibly be described as frivolous? I don't think it could. This is a test for the FA's influence inside Uefa."

1913: FOOTBALL - Danny Mills was capped 19 times by England, and told 5 live Sport on BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a massive disappointment for England. Wayne Rooney is without doubt our best player, and he's been in great form for Manchester United this season. He gives us a spark and he plays on the edge. I would still take him. If you do get through the group stage, why wouldn't you want Wayne Rooney available?"

1907: FOOTBALL - BBC Radio 5 live's Ian Dennis has said that should the FA appeal against Wayne Rooney's three-game ban, it would be a "massive risk". "A four-game ban is a real possibility should the FA appeal. I think it is unlikely but it is still in Uefa's remit," Dennis said.

"I'm gutted, absolutely gutted," she told BBC Radio 5 live. "I was there at Euro 2004 when he lit up to competition, but he was petulant out in South Africa.

1834: FOOTBALL - Former England captain Terry Butcher has told BBC Sport's Phil McNulty: "I thought Wayne Rooney would get two games and never thought there was a chance of one, but to get three is desperate news for England. Fabio Capello's heart must have fallen through the floor the moment Uefa's decision was announced. This is the worst news you could imagine for the team and Capello going into the tournament. I would still take him to Euro 2012 because he is so important."

1830: FOOTBALL - Former England boss Graham Taylor has told BBC Sport: "I would definitely take Wayne Rooney to Euro 2012 because I can imagine that, if we get through those first three group games, to be able to bring him back into the side will be a massive lift. And, if people think we are totally relying on one player to get us through the group stage, then we may as well not go."

1825 FOOTBALL: BBC Sport's Dan Walker on Twitter: "Capello will still take him... let's be honest, we all would. Needs to realise that actions have consequences."

1818: GET INVOLVED - DanLfcMan89 on Twitter: "So without Rooney for group stages its all down to Bent, Carroll & Defoe! Which is still quite a decent attack! #bbcsportsday "

1817: GET INVOLVED - BenJimmyJ on Twitter: "If I was Capello, I'd be inclined to leave him out of the squad for the tournament entirely, assuming the ban remains at 3 games. #bbcsportsday "
