Ryan Giggs: bad man, nice handbag?

[badmanbag]

Doesn’t really go with the suit though.

I was already amused by this thread but this 😂post has actually made me guffaw and have one of those breathless laughs where it builds up.

He could have used one of the L's for 'lips' - missed a trick there Ryan 😂

I'm crying laughing at this thread.

Or indeed love, but it's apparent that there is only one person Giggs loves.

Labia?
Liver?
Lymph node?

Lungs?

I can only imagine Bono is delighted that there is someone more cringe at poetry than he is.

Or liver, lung or labia.

A free poem for Ryan
oh I do adora
your labia majora
though it gets a little tricky
when I try to find your clitty

Kate you've got more legs than a spider
Read my poem and open them wider

It's positively Shakespearean! Puts me in mind of Pryramus and Thisby in A Midsummer Night's Dream - with added filth.

Pyramus

Puts me in mind of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, too.

In that Giggsy is a massive asshat.

Oh my days! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just reading the r'final letter'' listing all the names of who he was having affairs with - its like listening to that song Mambo No. 5!

😂

You rightly discern the hand of an experienced poet.

What’s the Stafford? Bar? Hotel? Gym? Do you just take a number like at the deli counter and wait for your turn?

SCREAM

Not to mention all the ones who he free kicked into the bin because they didn’t make the grade. Lost to us for ever……….

I do wonder if it’s a distraction technique from his barrister because the charges are serious and this stuff makes him seem so silly it’s harder to see him as a threat.

Whilst this thread is hilarious (some very witty MN'ers here) I came to post specifically how it's detracted from the actual assault he is on trial for.

I am seeing lots of "don't give up your day job" / "it makes me cringe" etc and not so much of "this man is on trial for a serious crime"

Releasing all these poems etc is 100% tactical by his legal team.... and more worryingly it seems to be working.

Caveat to say I know we cannot discuss certain aspects but there is a lot more in the public domain (that can be discussed) aside from these poems.

In seriousness, I'm not sure why some of this stuff was allowed to be introduced as I can't see the relevance to the (serious) assault charges, although I'm probably missing something. Any tactics to minimise should utterly fail as she is not on trial for assaulting him.

They'll be putting all this poem stuff out there to try to argue that the relationship wasn't as controlling and violent as she's alleging - 'Look, they were sending each other all these love poems, this doesn't tally with her current version of events....' 🤔🤔

Yep, the old Johnny Depp defence. Distract the jury and public with laughs and headlines and they won't see what a sinister, abusive piece of shit I am.

However, once this shitshow is over, all most people will remember will be the poems. The legal niceties will be forgotten and it will either be he got potted despite the poems or he got acquitted, despite the poems.
