All the info is easily available on the net anyway. Just Googled it and found loads of stuff in a matter of minutes including all the names of "key" "players" atm (I have time on my hands and was boerd Grin).

If they are going to get product endorsements/magazine deals based on their "image" then just bloody behave, if not then sod off and shag whoever you want and deal with the consequences?

Footballers get paid a disgusting amount of money and it doesn't seem to do them any favours Hmm.

If I had an affair it would get out and people in my life would know about it and I would have to deal with it.

YANBU. The ironic fact is that some of the people involved are complete non- entities (I also googled!) and had they not taken out injunctions the matter would have blown over after a few days and no one would have cared much. But as soon as they take out an injunction suddenly people are intrigued to know who they are and so they bring more attention to themselves!

My DH must be thick as shit cos he Googled yesterday and couldn't find out Grin

Oh that rumour has been doing the rounds for ages. Its complete BS the player in question's wife doesn't even have a sister.

unsurevalentine · 26/04/2011 16:35

It said step-sister?

That rumour has been circulating for years though...

I am still in shock that Andrew Marr found TWO women willing to shag him!

unsurevalentine · 26/04/2011 16:40

TWO?!

Was shocked about the Imogen Thomas one.

unsurevalentine · 26/04/2011 16:41

Other than his wife or including?!

OP posts:
squeakytoy · 26/04/2011 16:46

including his wife I meant Grin

manfromCUK · 26/04/2011 16:48

I must be thick too - I can't find by Googling who it was that Mr Marr allegedly had a go on. Perhaps I am using the wrong search terms.

BlueFergie · 26/04/2011 16:48

Not saying SG is not the one behind the super injunction. Could be for all I know although the rumour I heard was Ryan Giggs. Just saying the one about him knocking up his wife's sister and/or some 16 year old have been going around a long time. Would be the longest pregnancy in history if its still the case!

She has no sisters anyway.

Why can I not find out the name of the naughty footballer? Where should I look? Or can someone just tell me? :(

cantspel · 26/04/2011 16:50

Raffle think of the first england goal scored in last years world cup and you have the player.

HazeltheMcWitch · 26/04/2011 16:51

manfromCUK in google, type "andrew marr a' (as if you were going to type affair...).

A journo's name will magically appear, 3rd option I think.
It is not very secret.

cantspel · 26/04/2011 16:52

It isn;t Ryan giggs. Wrong team but the player in question does wear red

unsurevalentine · 26/04/2011 16:53

BlueFergie is correct as that is what the general concencus is.....

chocadoodle · 26/04/2011 16:56

Raffle the footballer affair with Imogen Thomas is allegedly Welsh with black hair and surname that rhymes with higgs.

The one with the persistant rumour about 16 year old/wife's sister is Steven Gerrard.

unsurevalentine · 26/04/2011 16:56

Really cantspel? Well I guess it will all come out soon anyway - can't see it all being kept quiet and he deserves all he gets.

millie30 · 26/04/2011 16:57

I'm more shocked about the two married presenters who are allegedly "at it"!

Insomnia11 · 26/04/2011 16:58

It is hard to prevent gossip on the web but at least it does prevent it from being splashed all over the tabloids, which have a wide readership.

I don't have much sympathy for the misbehaving celeb but I do have sympathy for their families, and would rather things were kept secret, or kept as low key as possible, when it is not in the public interest to report it. Especially where the family has already gone through the mill sorting it all out in private.

And I really don't want to hear about Andrew Marr's love life. Ugh.

cantspel · 26/04/2011 17:00

There has been rumours about stevie G and the 16 year old daughter of ex player since last year. Some big story was about to break in the tabloids when it all went quite again and talk of a super injunction. There has been plenty of stories about his wife playing away as well.
Football forums have done it to death and moved on.
