I saw that too. I suspect that it's not unrelated to this ad emerging now. Part of the deal was for him to raise it into the public eye again to increase the impact of the ad maybe?
Didn't think of that. Good call though, you're probably right.

They clearly don’t talk so. Did he take the wife back ?

What ryan did was horrible and it might have costed him a top job with us but jeez. I never seen someone who was happy to capitalise on being cuckolded by his own brother then him. That's worse then filth
A cuckold is someone who encourages their wife to sleep around, not someone who's wife does it secretly behind his back for like a decade reith his own brother.

Is it really? Way I see it is the whole world knows about it so he can either try pointlessly to avoid it or twist the knife on his cnut brother in public and make a few quid.

His brother and his ex put him in the position of laughing stock for many, he is probably trying to make the best of a horrible situation and take it on the chin.

I caught those. He mentioned never being late for training, and I wondered if that was one that I might have missed.
Ryan missed a training session during the media circus of the affair news. Think it was before the reveal, but after he filed the injunction. Or just after the reveal.

Thanks for the lesson. Reminding everyone what ryan did to him when the average joe had forgotten about it does makes him a sort of a cuckold though

Of course it does. Capitalising on a public humiliation when everyone forgot about it is low. Im now starting to wonder if the incident was a blessing in disguise for the guy

How do you know this? Speaking from experience?

It's his brother. What do you mean? It is not like he is encouraging his brother to do it again is it, he is making fun of his brother for being disloyal to his family.

Ahh cheers. I had a feeling there was something in that as well.

Brilliant ad too, to be fair. I expected it to be in more of a poor taste, which would have become a bit sad, but it was funny and Rhodri seems like a nice guy tbh. Can't blame him. Loyalty over money, but when its been broke its broke.

I think it was probably his wife who did that

Bloody hell hes firing some serious headshots. That advert is hilarious


:lol:

Anyway Ryans a scumbag but Rhodris a bitter guy who is milking this because he aint got much going for him in his life.

On a side note you have to admire paddy power for their pr work and marketing.

Nothing about this sits comfortably with me... but I'm not gonna lie, it's funny as hell. The references are great, and the radio ad is pretty good too (references being related to a Welsh legend... their dad ).

That was quite good.

As a rule, if your brother sleeps with your wife you're free to take as many shots at him as you like for as long as you like.

Parking the fact that gambling advertising should not be a thing in the UK, it's a good advert. Rhodri looks like a low-key psychopath.

Giggs is lucky that his bro aint a little bit crazy.

Funny advert. Out of the 3 involved, Rhodri the one who did nothing wrong. He's free to take as many shots at his brother as he likes, for as long as he likes.

It doesn't get much lower than what Ryan did and its the sole reason i don't want him anywhere near the club as a manager.

A cuckold is a man whose spouse is unfaithful and is 'often regarded as an object of derision' (OED). No encouragement is required. Rhodi is a cuckold but he's cashing in on it, derided or not.

You're fecking right he's bitter, and why wouldn't he be? I mean it's not as if his own brother tore the whole family apart by shagging your wife for 8 years.

Wandering cock, City mug, United legend not considered for the job, wife going out for milk etc etc
You can also see a Tiki Bar in the background that says "For Sale" on it. Referencing a tiki bar that Ryan and Gary Neville opened which closed less than a year later.
