Wayne Rooney endures a bumpy ride AWAY from the dugout as he joins wife Coleen and son Kai on the dodgems at Irish amusement park - after clip of Tom Brady questioning his work ethic went viral
Wayne Rooney has endured another bumpy ride - but this time it was nowhere near the football dugout. The former footballer and wife Coleen were taking a break from watching their son Kai, 15, playing for Manchester United's academy side in Northern Ireland when they visited a local amusement park. Locals were stunned to see them enjoying the dodgems at nearby Curry's Fun Park in Portrush, County Antrim. Wayne - wearing a black baseball cap and shades - let his lad Kit do the driving, while Coleen was seen laughing as she opted for her own bumper car. The video was captured by former BBC radio presenter Alan Simpson, who invited the Rooney's, both 39, to enjoy the amusements. He tagged the pair online and posted: 'You just never know who you will bump into at Curry's Fun Park Portrush.' Speaking afterwards, he said the famous faces were 'down-to-earth' and revealed he had facilitated the visit. Alan explained: 'Coleen had expressed an interest in bringing them along on their off days from the cup. I was absolutely more than happy to accommodate. 'Herself, Wayne and the kids came down and had a great time interacting with the other punters and being big kids, as everyone does at Curry's. 'They had a lot of fun for a few hours. No matter who comes to Portrush — footballers, golfers, whoever — we try to make sure they have a good time.' In a post on Facebook, Curry's revealed that the Rooneys spent two hours at the park and also tried other rides including the Ghost Train. They said: 'On Friday we were delighted to welcome one of the true superstars of the game Wayne Rooney, his wife Coleen alongside Northern Ireland's own Corey Evans and their families for a fun afternoon spending a couple of hours enjoying everything from the Ghost Train to the Cyclone and the bumper cars. 'The A-list couple certainly turned heads as they joined their kids on the rides. Remarked one Cookstown couple, "It's not everyday you literally bump into Wayne and Coleen Rooney on the bumper cars in Portrush. 'The owners of Curry's, Jacqueline and Owen Curry, were happy to meet and see the Rooneys enjoying their family day out. 'Jacqueline shared fashion tips with Coleen while Owen, a lifelong Crystal Palace fan couldn't resist reminding Wayne of the recent 4-0 victory for Palace. 'The Rooneys chatted about how much they enjoyed their visit to the North Coast, the warmth of the welcome and especially their time sampling the Portmagic.' Their eldest boy Kai, 15, had been starring in the Super Cup NI youth football tournament for United, a competition Wayne also played at in 2000. Wayne, Manchester United's record goalscorer, and Coleen, were seen watching a game in the stands at the Coleraine Showgrounds on Tuesday. Other football stars spotted at the tournament included Michael Carrick, Jamie Redknapp and Corey Evans. Kai and his teammates made it to the boys' premier final, where they lost to Southampton 1-0. Afterwards former England ace Wayne posted on social media: 'Great few days in Coleraine for the SuperCupNI. 'Well done to Kai and the Manchester United lads on a brilliant effort throughout the tournament. 'Congratulations to Southampton on the win. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.' Wayne's work ethic during a disastrous stint as manager of Birmingham City has been questioned by minority owner Tom Brady in scenes from a new Amazon Prime series. The remarkable admission from the NFL legend has been revealed in an upcoming five-part series Built in Birmingham: Brady and the Blues. In it, Brady admits to being worried about the dedication of the Manchester United legend during his disastrous spell at St Andrews. Wayne was sacked in January last year, lasting just 15 matches in the Blues' dugout. Under his management, the Blues took 10 points from a possible 45, losing nine and winning just two. The fly-on-the-wall documentary, being released on Friday, shows Brady visiting the Birmingham training ground to observe Wayne's team meeting and training session. While driving away, he tells his business manager Ben Rawitz: 'I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic.' Rawitz replies: 'Comes across as lackadaisical.' Wayne began in management immediately after his playing days were over, hanging up his boots while playing in the Championship for Derby to take the reins at Pride Park. Manchester United's all-time leading scorer received plaudits for the work he did in extremely challenging circumstances, with the club struggling to compete amid their mountain of financial issues. He then made the surprise move to MLS and coached another of his former sides, DC United. But he lasted just 12 months Stateside - half the time he spent in charge of the Rams - as interest in his services came from the newly minted Blues. Birmingham - backed by the riches of Knighthead Capital and boasting Brady as an investor - replaced the beloved John Eustace with the former England hero, even though the club was pushing for a play-off spot. Rather predictably, this proved to be a massive mistake. The documentary also sees Brady admit his error in replacing Eustace with the former England international and reveal that he was warned against making 'sweeping changes' so early in his time with the club.

Are Dream Team bosses making a mistake selecting the most-popular goalkeeper in the game?
THE last thing we want to do is cause a panic among Dream Team managers before a ball has been kicked. But it's our duty to highlight any discrepancies worthy of discussion as the Gameweek 1 deadline draws near and so we feel compelled to discuss Caoimhin Kelleher (£3m). As it stands, the Republic or Ireland international is set to start the 2025/26 season as the most popular goalkeeper in Dream Team. MOST POPULAR GOALKEEPERS IN DREAM TEAM AHEAD OF GAMEWEEK 1 (% OWNERSHIP) 11.6% Caoimhin Kelleher 9.7% Robert Sanchez 9.2% Matz Sels 9% David Raya 8.7% Alisson Before we get cynical, let's be clear that Kelleher is a very fine keeper. Last season, he performed superbly for Liverpool while Alisson was sidelined with injury for a sustained period from mid-October until Christmas. Most notably, he saved two penalties in the space of four days against Southampton and Real Madrid to grab the headlines. During this time, Kelleher was something of a Dream Team cheat code as he was a cheap starter for the best team in the country and gaffers who took advantage of this situation were rewarded with plentiful points. In fact, his average of 5.3 points-per-game was among the highest in his position for 2024/25. This summer, the 26-year-old has transferred from Liverpool to Brentford in a move that will make him No1 for the first time in his career. Kelleher's historical record and the promise of increased minutes are the reasons he's a popular choice among Dream Team bosses, not to mention his affordable price. However, at the risk of coming across all doom and gloom, there are some issues to be addressed. 5 Firstly, a simple truth must be stated: Brentford are not Liverpool. Clean sheets are the primary currency for keepers in Dream Team but it generally takes a team effort to repel the opposition. You could have Lev Yashin, Gigi Buffon and Manuel Neuer all between the sticks at once but if they aren't given suitable protection then it is inevitable they will concede goals. Last season, Brentford conceded 57 league goals, 16 more than champions Liverpool. But even that doesn't tell the full story of the disparity between Kelleher's old club and his new employers. The Bees conceded a whopping 646 shots in total, only Southampton gave up more opportunities. 5 The xG stats are kinder to the West London outfit, suggesting that six teams defended worse, but Dream Team managers should realise that clean sheets will be much harder for Kelleher to come by at the Gtech. His predecessor, Mark Flekken, made more saves (159) than any other Dream Team goalkeeper last season, another indication of Brentford's defensive vulnerabilities. Of course, racking up lots of saves is another way to earn points - perhaps Kelleher's best avenue going forward - but it's difficult to make waves without clean sheets and let's not forget that conceding goals can lead to minus points. Another big concern is that Brentford might find life harder in the top flight this campaign. They have lost Thomas Frank, Christian Norgaard and Bryan Mbeumo, with Yoane Wissa also linked to other clubs. 5 Keith Andrews has been appointed head coach and has a huge task ahead of him. Pre-season predictions are often foolish in hindsight but many pundits are envisaging a taxing season for the Bees. We're not saying that Kelleher is a horrible selection but, given all the factors, it seems unusual that he's more popular than all his rivals.
