I dunno, the injunction kind of made sense in a way, in that a lot of people weren't entirely sure at first. The biggest mistake was probably failing to get Imogen Thomas covered by the injunction as well - if he'd protected both their privacies then there would have been nothing for the gossipers to go at. "Unnamed footballer bangs unnamed celebrity" would have had more people guessing. But going after Twitter was also a huge mistake - I saw a graph in Forbes of the number of times his name was mentioned on Twitter every day. The two days before the lawyers lodged the action he wasn't mentioned at all. The day of the action he was mentioned several hundred times. Why kick the hornets nest again when the whole thing was starting to die down?! I dunno, he was a notorious party boy and had a string of girls back in the early 90s. He said himself that he made the conscious decision to focus on his football back then. Now he's coming to the end of his career and playing fewer games the pressure is probably less so maybe the old party spirit made a reappearance?
swarbs my client nathaniel thompson better known as giggs from peckham south london has instructed me to seek a full retraction of your statement and some financial recompsense
You are not allowed to say the name of any long serving (one club) welsh Manchester United footballers that scored against Arsenal in the FA cup final one time. No, its not Paul Scholes, he isn't Welsh, or is he?
Yeah but its pretty normal at my age. Aren't you supposed to grow out of sleeping around when you are 37
I do hope the Blackpool fans continuously sing about it so that commentators have to amke some form of comment. I can't see Fergie picking him today.
If it hasn't come out by the time Yernited visit Anfield next season..The KOP should give him the same treatment they gave Tommy Docherty in 1977. They serenaded the Doc with a rendition of ''Who's up Mary Brown''.Maybe they could do someting with Old Spock ears.
Cos you know, but you're not allowed to know. And if you know you know, then you really are in trouble Seriously, it's cos although everyone knows, the super injunction is still technically in place so it's still illegal to report it. Which could mean the Sunday Herald is gonna get a mighty slap from Bryan's lawyers sometime soon...
He's a pathetic ****er who can't face up to the responsibility of his own actions. Well done to the Sunday Herald for a bit of brave, just journalism.
Is that a real picture or is it doctored? If its a real picture post it on the United board as in an article just for the fun of it.
Somehow I think Imogen was left thoroughly disappointed. In his early days an ex came out and said Rayn is stricktly a once a night man. Maybe thats why he's lasted so long playing footie, not lasting so long in the sack
How exactly is the Sunday Herald spying on Ryan Giggs' private life???? He brought it on himself by being a married man and jumping into the sack with a slapper. If the world has a right to know her name why shouldn't they know his? Think I also read somewhere that the injunction doesn't apply in Scotland as they have their own laws, if that's the case then they can print what they want. If the story isn't true then he can sue them (and Imogen Thomas) - somehow though I reckon Mr Giggs will be very quiet on this one.
I'd describe it as brave to reveal the truth in the face of an unjust, truth-hating superinjunction rule.
