oh now come on,

is there nobody who will decry the on-field conduct of ryan giggs?

and yes it matters.
YES it's relevant.

suarez is dirt.
end of.

Go and play with Miss Dirty Sock....you're pissed.

Norway 3
Wales 2

Ryan Giggs was sent off last night as Welsh football lurched towards a new crisis. Captain and the established golden boy of a struggling team, Giggs was sent off five minutes from the end of an increasingly bad-tempered Group Five defeat in Oslo following an ugly tackle on Norway midfielder Roar Strand.

Booked earlier in the half for dissent, Giggs was rightly dismissed and the Manchester United winger further tarnished his reputation by tossing his armband in the direction of the referee.

i didn't know that.
yes i'm pissed.
and you still cannot discredit his club record.

What do you want me to say, Eric? He can behave for ninety minutes a week so good luck to him for the rest of the week where he can fuck goats, sisters-in-law and entire families?

His international career has a sending off and a culpable elbowing incident that should have got a second. In the first 100 years of England internationals, only Alan Mullery had ever been red carded and that took 96 years.

Peter Storey was an uncompromising centre back, hard but fair, a clutch of England caps and all but a one club man. I doubt anyone would argue with his record on the pitch. He was, however, running a brothel off it when he retired. He also has form for counterfeiting, smuggling pornography and theft. Which would you say is the mark of the man?

giggs is past his sell by date.
only he can't see it.
now let's talk here and now.
i can't throw facts/figures and/or stats at you.
but dirt like saurez can only dream,
well,
they don't have to do they?
they've got the contract.
and i bet j.henry wretches at the mention of his name.
i hope so.
come on JH,
cleanse yourself.
and the pool.
dump the filth.

well you tell me bert.
imagine that you're trying to inspire up and coming football starlets.

I disagree. Teams fear him. You don't sell that.

As for "club reputation", it's a myth. They're a company, not a moral crusade.

you reckon?
he gets fouled,
and refs wave on,
because it's suarez.
there's a plus-side to his theatricals.
if only he'd concentrate on his football.

I'd like to think that when my son is fifteen years old, should he go to a football club of any stripe for any reason, that I won't have to worry about Graham Rix on the staff trying to seduce my thirteen year old daughter.

I would sooner have my kids learn from Craig Bellamy than Ryan Giggs. Bellamy has a twat of a reputation and record (golf club?) but this would suggest that it's all just pitch persona

i don't know about rix.
or what we DON'T yet know about bellamy.
as a role model,
i couldn't question bellamy AT all.
he IS the consummate competitor.
he doesn't fancy his brother's wife?
does he HAVE a brother?
well bully for him.
