Nah. I'm not defending that cnut of a human being giggs. If the club sticks by him just in the name of a few goals and trophies we're no better city.

And all this hypocrisy of "what he does outside the field isnt our business" is making me sick. Yes it does. We judge player like suarez, heinze, tevez, mascherano etc because of their antiques. Can we separate suarez the player and suarez the racist? Can we separate amber heard the liar and amber heard the actress?

Double standard because he happens to be many of us childhood hero.

And regarding best. I wasnt around when he did that. I was an adult when i find out about giggs. Therein lies the difference. I cant do or feel anything about best but i do about giggs. And that's different with "we're ok with best". I'm not ok with best, made a theead about it and I'll say it there
I am a bit curious about you and your stands. I remember you defending China about how they handle human rights, (regarding the Uighur-camps I think) and yet you despise Giggs for what he does to other persons. Being very binary about him I think. Your choice of course. Your views just seems in East and West to me.

Did you mean to quote me? Because that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm in no way defending what he's alleged to have done.
I'm just saying it's possible to despise the person and their acts and still enjoy the memories of what they did on the pitch.

And why should i hate giggs? He was my favorite idol. I still listed him as my favorite idols in here until that news confirmed. As a human being with my own standar of moral i compare myself with my subject. Am i capable of that? If i am then maybe he's as human as me such as using drugs, or watching porn, or probably pays for sex... it's understanble. Not because its right in the purest sense. But i accept that people make mistakes.

8 years against your brother is not something i can shrug off easily.

Cheating once in a while with a hooker is still wrong, but it's understandable. What giggs did is not.

Enjoying the memories because he happens to play for the club we support yes probably. But not shrugging his deeds as silly mistakes

Oh behave. Rolf has disappeared because he had nothing of real worth to leave behind. Ditto Saville, Gary Glitter etc. Trawl through the lives of the great artists, songwriters, actors, directors, photographers, authors and you'll find plenty of despicable human beings. Are you telling me that should wipe out everything they've produced? It's that black and white world view that has us in the state we're in.
Off to reappraise 'Tie me Kangaroo down, sport'.
What? Its because its not black and white that we are in so much shit. Its because we excuse these pieces of shit that the whole #metoo movement came out and loads of producers etc were shown to be pieces of sht and everyone turned a blind eye because 'they did some good'. Its how Bill Cosby got away with it all these years. Its how Epstien got away with it.Its how Michael Jackson got away with it. Its how there are still loads of these pieces of sht out there doing God knows what and getting away with it. It is black and white. If you are a piece of sht you should be punished. Yeah its not so black and white in the fact that we cannot just wipe out our history. I cant wipe out my happy memories of Giggs. But he is not a legend. He is a piece of sht. And everyone should say so. The club should distance themselves from him and the fans should all clearly and unequivocally say he is a piece of sht. Legend should not be associated with him. Same as Michael Jackson. Same as everyone. If you buy a book with Giggs in it it should say Giggs shagged his brothers wife for 8 year (plus women beater if convicted). If you buy a Michael Jackson album it should say pedophile. If they teach classes then people should know what they did. Not just the great goals or music.

Exactly. Its like the whole pulling down of statues in America. We have idolized pieces of shit for centuries. Christopher Columbus taught in history classes for generations. Turns out he was a piece of sht and most people dont even know it.


Will everyone saying this tell me where the lines is. Do we turn a blind eye to paedohiles? Rapists? Murderers? What?
What do Ppedophiles, rapists and murderes have to do with the subject? Are you fecking crazy?
We idolize Giggsy as a player and that is it. You must be pretty fecked up in the head as a human being to idolize another guy as a human, a guy you know jack shit about. What the feck are you on about?

It's the same about Columbus, you idolized him as a teacher, not as a fecking personality. How can you idolize someone's personality/character without knowing them, fecking hell.

I barely know a family or relationship among my social circle where infidelity has not occurred. Maybe I am unlucky, cynical and jaded but I am past moral outrage when someone is caught.

More people than we hope are selfish arseholes, and most people like pointing out others flaws.

Different story with domestic abuse, zero tolerance, no matter the perpetrator.

Are you crazy. So you meet the paeophile next door and you cant condone his predilections but damn he did great things in society. He volunteered at the childrens home. Built some houses for refugees in Africa. Was a good Catholic. Shove a statue at the end of your road.

Just give it the acid test:

1. If this is Gerrard, what would be your reaction
2. If this is your own brother banging your wife for 8 years

You don't need to tell us your reaction, but if you treat Giggs as you treat no.1 or no.2 then by all means.

Again, you're quoting somebody else there. I never dismissed this as a silly mistake.

Buddy, we're having two different arguments here. Let's leave it at that.

Uighur imprisonment camps are not fabricated lies though, they are the real deal, and documented (not having that debate again with you, you probably still post some pro chinese links for me to read, which made little sense) so you just came off as one defending China - a well known offender of human rights.

How you view Giggs is your own matter, it just seemed conflicting to me.

Still a legend in my book, albeit a dickhead in personal matters.

Ryan Giggs 'arrested on suspicion of assaulting girlfriend and second person on same night’

The Wales football manager, 46, was arrested at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester after police were called to reports of a disturbance around 10pm Sunday.

Reports claimed he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend, Kate Grenville, 36.

When quizzed about the allegation Mr Giggs had assaulted Ms Grenville earlier this week,his agent told the Mirror he is co-operating with a police investigation, and denies all assault allegations against him.

Mr Giggs was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a second person on the same evening.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/ryan-giggs-arrested-suspicion-assaulting-22970327

It does not specify who that second person is.

My initial assumption is that he found his girlfriend with another man, so he decided to beat them both.

Is it a genocide? No. But a slow process of erasing an identity and a culture.

We've seen things like contraception, ieds, and inter marriage being encouraged

and some people would say that amount to genocide
^ actual quote from the guardian.

(Like WTF. So it's not actually a genocide of millions? just education and you know... diversity of people getting married with other race. The chinese probably invented mind control to make Uighurs fall in love with other race, god forbid)

So yeah... I think they're fabricated lies like the Huawei spying.

But enough of this, we've been through this many times. I'm done with this

I get what you are saying but it's not all black and white. There are many examples out there that don't get stick

Roman polanski is still lauded by hollywood

Elvis basically bought Priscilla off her parents as a kid and she has claimed he had other young girls

Mandy Smith was a kid and her mum was in on it

Martin Luther King was an alcoholic woman beater according to CIA files

Ghandi was a pervert sleeping naked with young girls related to him


Etc

Why are people comparing Giggs to Saville, Glitter and Michael Jackson FFS?
As far as Im aware Giggs has never been charged of child abuse and I pray he never is; but if he has indeed beaten this woman up then he deserves everything he gets and should be kicked out of football as should any footballer who brings not only himself, his club and country into shame but the game itself. For many years now footballers like Giggs have been extremely well paid and cossetted but with that comes responsibility, not just to the club and the supporters but again to the game itself and the generations that follow. Footballers are role models and should act as such. Playing football at such a high level is not just a job, its a privilege.

Legend my arse. Was Ched Evans footballing career separated from his personal life? Should we still label a footballer a legend after if he is a rapist? What about a pedophile? Murderer? To me he is no longer a legend. A legend holds the values of the club and those values include moral and ethical values and shagging your brothers wife and beating women definitely breaks it. Would you have his statue outside old trafford? Should children idolize him? No. If your a piece of sht then you are no longer a legend. Whats next still put Rolf Harris on the BBC cos his entertainment career is separate from his personal life?
People will use any excuse to bash Rolf harris. It can't have been easy growing up Australian with a Scandinavian name.

Conspiracy theories??

Each one of those is a fact backed by evidence, in the form of books written by parties involved or families of or admittance by the person involved

This is why I love the CAF. 10 pages after the news of his arrest, and we are onto Rolf Harris, JFK and conspiracy theories with Ryan Giggs hardly mentioned.

Brilliant :D

Yeah, I always trust the global superpower's nefarious state agencies in their profiling of their enemies. Especially because they've got such a good record of ethical conduct and democratic accountability.

True unless they kept it quiet for their own purposes.

Something's have been corroborated but their is a silence order on some things untill 2027, placed in 1977.

So we will see I guess

Events moving quickly now. Giggs has had a lonely cup of tea. It was in his conservatory. Overlooking four acres.

Read an article written on him earlier. It was saying how he was so idolised by the professionals and everyone at the club. It asked the question of how can someone as successful and respected in the sport, not keep himself out of trouble. The answer is simple:

just because you are a footballer and a very good one, doesn’t make you are a nice person. It doesn’t give you morals or mean you won’t have demons. If anything it’s probably harder to stay humble and grounded. Everywhere you go you have people rolling over to your every whim. Your worshipped and have a god like status amongst many people, so sometimes it can have the opposite effect.

or maybe he just shouldn’t be in a relationship and keep it in his trousers:confused: who knows!

Actually that slut Natasha did. Probably loved him so when it came out he had been banging Imogen too, she spilled it out.

You wonder how on earth did she come out top in all of this.

Giggs - the cnut of the highest order but sort of paid the price given he lost some of his family, some section of the fans and a good name. Still had money to burn, fancy job and support from many people, including his mother and most of family.

Rhodri - Innocent yet most severely damaged (along with Stacey and Ryan's/Rhodri's kids). His father said some time ago he was penniless and his mum hasn't spoken to him since it happened. Sick. Apparently the bigger chunk of the family prefer to spend time with Ryan with all the games, hospitality and money. Takes care of children alone.

Natasha - Was forgiven by Rhodri, then left him two years ago and could be seen left right centre in media since the accident, Big Brother and what not. Now prides herself on being a mother with another guy. Also aborted Ryan's baby just because it would be inconvenient for her.
Thanks for the reply,turned pretty nasty alright.
