    Really? I thought they were both connected.

    Anyway, it's his call.

    Thats true, maybe he's got no sexual hang-ups about these things, though he would want to be careful about how much coverage these issues get as it could be his career on the line, if the bigger networks started focusing on them. But at the end of the day, as long as he's a good service provider creating goalscoring chances, he should be (n)ok(ia)



    ..that last one was a bit of a stretch

    Ah here, puns like that are uncalled for. They send out all the wrong signals. I'm sure the rumours were taken out of context anyway.

    They might have been, maybe some day he'll cell his story.

    one of my mates played for Athlone Town and a couple of years ago i put up a rumour on some dodgy football rumour site that Spurs were looking to buy him for £2m.

    Next week his mum got a call from The Mirror asking to confirm the story, she said she knew nothing of itm but they ran the story the next week anyway!!

    in fact there is two ocurances of the rumour:

    He did sue, and won.

    But it does bring us nicely onto the other Ashley rumour of him using a mobile phone as an anal sex toy on himself.

    He claims these rumours were phoney and that he was otherwise engaged at the time of the alleged incident but methinks the lady doth protest too much. Would want to watch out for prostate cancer with that carry-on..

    That's not proven (the mobile phone given cancer thing that is).

    Anyway the Will Egan thing gives me an idea, why don't we start a rumour and see if we can get it published in a rag. Any ideas anyone?

    There was a rumour about Beckham which caused a sh*tstorm a few years ago but I cant remember what it was. But hey the Rebecca Loos "rumour" made up for that!

    And didnt that whole thing start a rumour she could prove what she was saying was true due to some physical "trait" only those who had seen him in his birthday suit would know?

    My money is on a 3rd ball.

    Or a peculiarly coloured mickey.

    Or a chronic case of Father Fluffy Bottom.

    There has been a rumour about John O`Shea and someone who was briefly famous going round for years that wont be repeated by me here for libel reasons. Its fairly common though.

    Think it was a mole on his manhood that caught him out. Don't ask me why I remember that!:o

    I heard (from a Man City fan btw) that Steve Coppell was run out of there after just 33days as manager in 1996 because they found out he is gay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    When Paul McGrath was at the end of his footballing term, he left Derby i think and the rumor was that he was joining Athlone town for the season...
