It's his father and Giggs stayed with his Mum after they split and took his mother's name so he's hardly going to be singing his praises and also he's probably upset Giggsy hasn't doled out money to him. Sour grapes but yeah, whatever.
Or it could be the fact the Giggs had been shagging his own brother's wife for 8 straight years but yeah, whatever.
No, more like his father's upset his son didn't want to stay with him so feels it more necessary to join in the fun on booting down Giggs.AkydefGoldberg wrote:Makes no difference to me in judging Giggs' ability in a footballing sense.
I've never once called into question Giggs is footballing ability, nor has anyone for that matter, so I'm not quite sure why you've brought that up? We're merely pointing out that it's a joke Giggs isn't thrown into the same category of 'cunts' such as Suarez and Terry when his indiscretions are quite the bit worse than the others. Again, not that it's a competition.
Yeah, but I guess that's down to the fact that Giggs, besides his off-the-field embarrassment has had a squeaky clean career besides that.
It's not a competition but Suarez: Evra incident, biting Ivanovic, his on-field theatrics (which even United players have been guilty of at times). Terry: shagging Bridge's ex-partner who was his ex-Chelsea team mate; Anton racism furore; incidents involving his Mum and Dad (latter I believe is in a court case relating to a racially aggravated assault). Giggs: shagged his brother's wife for eight years and slept with a Big Brother celebrity wanabe.
Giggs has hardly been affiliated with a litany of off the field incidents (or on the pitch for that matter) to be in that 'cunt' category as prominently as those two above. Anything that Suarez/Terry do negatively only re-inforces and reminds people of their past transgressions. Giggs does something wrong, the thought of him shagging his brother's wife is a secondary thought because probably down to him using the super-injunction so the press got quietened down at the height of it.
and secondly because unlike others (not digging at you here) players' personal lives aren't in my thoughts and considerations. Alot of football journalists are inclined that way either but the showbiz ones would say a different matter. But I just hard to fathom to put him in that category, again my bias but having an affair is such a dick move regardless of who it is with and for how long and I can see your point of view from a laddish ("you don't fuck with another guy's gal, period) perspective and how it's being seen from your angle.
