Ryan Giggs named as footballer hiding behind injunction

This afternoon in the House of Commons, Liberal Democrat MP Mr John Hemming named Ryan Giggs as the footballer behind the widely reported Super Injunction, even though most of the world knew the identity, it was illegal to name the player.

It has been a dramatic afternoon, earlier the Sun Newspaper failed in an attempt to over turn the rich mans injunction, but in Parliament Rt Hon John Hemming used his privilage to out the Manchester United player 5 days before the Champions League Final, there can be no doubt that are the furore surrounding the injunction has made things far worse that it should have been, if the allegations are true then Ryan has to sort this out with is family, and he deserves privacy for those moments, but to use the money that fans put in his pocket is a disgrace.

Even being a Man United supporter, I am glad that this injunction is now invalid, the lack of respect shown, by Giggs, is nothing short of disgusting, Ryan Giggs should now look far less at the Injunction and picking on the small guy and should look more at putting his own house in order, no longer is he the clean cut footballer that his image portrays, and I am sure that he will suffer financially from loss of deals who loved his ways.

Super Injunctions take a new twist

So you are now able to look like the perfect family man, earn millions of pounds from your image over 20 years of playing football at a top club, get caught out with your pants down, hush it up by using the money fans put in your pocket, and then sue people for discussing it! That seems fair.

Mr Footballer who this relates to is a footballing hero to me, I have seen him majestically dance around opposition players, I like many people have admired the way he has kept a low profile, away from the media spotlight, enjoyed his family life, but now this, is he really that selfish?

I of course can't name him for fear of ending up in court, but please, just in the future think before you act, don't treat the public like fools, most of us know who you are and you are know making yourself look like a spoilt brat who keeps throwing his toys out the cot, to sue people for telling the truth would be totally unjust, are we all subject to your rich mans order? 


To sue a website for allowing freedom of speech and to express what the word on the street is, that is unjust, I hope you lose your case and that these super injunctions are torn up because you spoilt, overpaid people who expose the media need to grow up.

Super Injunctions

So Fred Goodwin, you have been exposed, I am sure most of us know who the other people are who are covered by these, SUPER INJUNCTIONS, but what is the morals of these, well let's be honest, they are to cover the rich, the people who do court the press for there own cause then when they make mistakes they gag our media.

The simple thought is, if you are portrayed as a role model, then act like one, do not hide behind injunctions, do not gag the press that 90% of the time assist you with your income, do not act like idiots and take the piss out of the public who pay your money.


I really wish I could name them, one of the persons is somebody who I have admired on the sports field for 20 years, someone who's name I have chanted, someone who I don't want to see in the headlines for the wrong reasons, but someone who has to pay the penalty for his miss doing. I have paid part of his wages by buying season tickets etc, and yes I do feel cheated, I do feel that I have paid for an injunction.

I still admire him for his skills, but not for the way he is treating us, he is not the only one, some of the others are people I like from TV etc, in a way Fred Goodwin  has been exposed because of his record at RBS, the person that exposed him did it for his own gain, but he should be applauded for telling us what we have a right to know.


The other side of the coin is from the media, they need to be sure the story is correct, they need to ensure they are reporting the facts and not pure speculation, otherwise we will see those famous words, "see you in court".


I like many beg the judges, keep freedom of speech, if it is wrong then the rich person will take action for compensation and a apology, if it is correct they will try to stop the story.
