Record interest in Rooney at Titanbet8 September 2015(PRESS RELEASE) -- After he was controversially denied his chance on Saturday, the prospect of Wayne Rooney making history tonight is captivating the nation and Titanbet Sports UK have responded to the clamour from punters. Rooney drew level with the great Sir Bobby Charlton as England’s all-time leading scorer by netting the opening goal from the penalty spot as Roy Hodgson's side secured Euro 2016 qualification with a 6-0 victory over minnows San Marino. Hodgson took Rooney off with 30 minutes still to play, despite further goals from his captain looking a real possibility against their fast-tiring opponents. The nation’s punters wanted to see history being made and were unimpressed by the decision to substitute him with so much time left on the clock. Patriotic punters have responded by backing Rooney to break the record by scoring in the Three Lions’ Qualifying game against Switzerland this evening. Such has been the rush to recognise Rooney’s record-breaking achievement that bookmakers Titanbet.co.uk have put on a series of specials, offering odds on precisely how Rooney will score his next international goal over and above their standard range of bets tied to the outright match results and price boosts. Reflecting on Killjoy Roy’s refusal to let Rooney rule the record books, Russell Yershon, U.K. sports manager for Titanbet.co.uk, was quick to point to the reaction of his loyal punters. “Hodgson’s decision to rest Rooney with the record in his sights didn’t go down well. With the result a near-certainty just about the only reason for taking any notice was to see Rooney make a little piece of history. Roy really spoiled the party.” “But Punters have really got behind Rooney for the Switzerland game. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a one-man market quite as lively as this.” Rooney’s penalty against the Sammarinese took his international tally to 49 and level with Charlton, his illustrious Manchester United predecessor. Of these, 33 have come from his favoured right peg and the favourite method of scoring the all-important goal is a right-footed shot at 6/4. Rooney has scored on 11 different occasions with a header, which is on offer at 16/5. He has slotted home five England goals with his left boot (4/1) and it's 10/1 for a direct free kick. He is 7/2 to score his second penalty in as many games.
