Phone dropped in the North Sea? Everything 'unfortunately' wiped from devices?

YABU - those things really were totally coincidental that happened just after they were told to hand them in

YANBU yeah ...right...

saw more whatsapps yesterday and it would appear that vardy was seriously pissed odd because coleen has unfollowed
her on Instagram. What a totally ridiculous thing to slag her off about. not a particular fan of coleen but vardy really has come out of this very badly indeed. Feel sorry for her children.

Colleen has actually earned millions in her own right. Over fifteen years of endorsements, DVDs, books and what have you. But of course that was all reliant on her relationship to Wayne. She's not the only WAG to have monetised her position, quite a few of them have done some kind of sponsorship, but in the UK she's the most successful at it.

Re the women's game, quite a few of the top players seem to end up in relationships with each other. It's not a very heteronormative sport! The pool of players who even have male partners would be much smaller to begin with.

Or option c. Why didn't both Rooney and Vardy get dropped into the North Sea and spare us and the courts from this self-indulgent ridiculousness?

This hahahha

Pair of dickheads both of them. They need to get some real problems.

DillonPanthersTexas · 30/07/2022 10:16

I think the whole WAG thing needs to come to an end. You don't hear about "HABs" in the womens game.

Because nobody gives a shit about the husbands and boyfriends of professional sportswomen. The only way the WAG phenomenon will die is when the army of morons out there stop giving them oxygen insofar as buying the gossip mags or following them on social media. It's embarrassing how invested some people are in the lives of incredibly vacuous people who are famous for who they married.

Tbf CW didn't have much choice in any of it - she tried to avoid court but ultimately that was RV's choice and she had no choice except to defend herself. I thought it was a fair result and the judge's comments do seem particularly damning so hopefully that'll be the end of it. Saw RV's husband getting heckled by fans yesterday something like 'your wife is a grass'.

Are any of the England men's team players married to women that have chosen not to be "WAGs"?

I thought if you are the wife or girlfriend of a footballer, then that makes you a WAG by definition.

It's not like WAG is a job title is it?

I've said this on other threads, but I'll say it again here. It's unfair to say that Coleen is just as bad as Rebekah and that she should get real problems, since she attempted to settle out of court 4 times. Rebekah refused, so Coleen had no choice but to defend herself.

I suspect it might be tricky to be a wife while also choosing not to be a wife..

Well, it sort of is a job title for some of them. It's how Colleen ended up earning millions in her own right.

Completely agree on the just as bad as each other front though. There's only one person in the wrong for creating this fiasco of a case in the first place.

Not sure if the Sentencing Remarks have been posted here, but these are the links.

Simple press summary here.

The full court report here.

Eslteacher06 · 30/07/2022 11:17

Anyone else irritated they littered in the sea just cause they didn’t want to be caught. Far bloody fetched.

Misses point of thread 😂

ednclouda · 30/07/2022 11:18

Only the lawyers and barristers have made money from this - shameful

Reallenow · 30/07/2022 11:50

Surely, though Colleen didn’t want the court case, tried to stop it several times and then Told rebekah iff for wasting money?

Honestly, it’s terrible knowing someone is a fremeny and is using you for gossip. Much better to out that person than slowly lose trust in everyone?

I have a couple of frenemies on social media and I no longer post any personal information at all. I can be certain anything I post will be used against me and make me regret ever posting. It’s a shame but life is better this way.

I say well done Colleen on confronting her. Rebekah was unwise to pursue legal action and the only winners are the lawyers

LetsGoRound · 30/07/2022 13:54

It reminds me of many years ago with the rivalry between Victoria Beckham and Katie Price. Victoria sat at a football match which David was playing in.
Up turns Katie to support the player she was with at the time and Victoria singing ' who let the dogs out ' 😂
I watched a documentary about the Rooney's a while ago and I actually thought Colleen came across as down to earth and really nice.
Colleen and Wayne have been together since they were fourteen. Vardy on the other hand, slept her way through various players until she found one daft enough to marry her.

Mercurial123 · 30/07/2022 14:01

The only interest I had is how they both look so shit with all the fillers and botox.

Yes, she's stuck with her loser husband after all the affairs, sleeping with prostitutes etc. If she had any self respect CR would have divorced years ago.

Whammyyammy · 30/07/2022 14:20

I haven't followed the story, as have zero interest in two women that have such self importance and entitlement because they married a football player.

yet interested enough to compose a post letting everyone know how uninterested you are.

Thanks for letting us know. We've all been hoping you'd tell us what your thoughts were on the case Hmm

In the interests of accuracy, there have been no reported affairs. He did use prostitutes in 2001/2, well before they were married and, according to Colleen, before they had slept together. He again used prostitutes in 2010 when she was pregnant with their first child. There is no evidence that he has cheated on her since then. Not saying he is a wonderful human being, and I am surprised Colleen has stuck with him, but no point overstating the case.

I would guess most posters would say LTB if a woman posted about her partner behaving like WR.

Agree. Even though he doesn't appear to have had any affairs, he is no angel and has cheated on her a number of times. That they are still together is down to her.

I think this is Becky telling us she won’t be coming back to the U.K. for a while.
