Q: (CNN) -- Wayne Rooney has defended himself from criticism by Roberto Mancini following Sunday's Manchester derby, in which the United striker scored two goals but appeared to play a role in City's captain being sent off.

City manager Mancini has officially appealed against Chris Foy's decision to dismiss Kompany in the 12th minute of the 3-2 home defeat that ended his side's English FA Cup title defense at the first hurdle, and blamed Rooney for influencing the referee.

Kompany slid in with two feet to win the ball off United winger Nani, who did not appeal for a foul -- but Rooney ran straight to the official and Foy ruled that it was a dangerous tackle.

"It was not a red card. Rooney told him his decision," Mancini told reporters after the match, before referring to an incident last week when he gesticulated from the touchline to have an opposing player punished.

"When I did this against Liverpool, people told me not to do it. I said I was sorry and made a mistake."

Who are football's top January transfer targets?

Rooney, however, insisted on his Twitter account that he had done no wrong.

"Funny how people think i got kompany sent off. Im not ref. i didn't give red card. But it was a clear red card. 2 footed tackle," he wrote on the social networking website on Monday.

United boss Alex Ferguson agreed with Rooney that Kompany deserved to be sent off.

"I think so, I've seen him do it before -- he maybe got off in the past. I think if he catches Nani then he's got a problem."

Q: In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success. The "spider story" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider making a web . Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time? Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway. The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to "live with yourself!" even though you may have failed. Remember, "You can't live with them all."
