Ibrahimovic and Pique - the new Neville/Scholesy

    So this is a few days old but I haven't seen it discussed on any other threads - what do you think of this pic - is it innocent or has the photographer (a Barca fan) caught something very private at the exact moment?

    pique-zlatan-ibrahimovic-barcelona-gay.jpg

    Ibra replied the other day to a female reporter who suggested he was gay by saying “Come over to my house and I’ll show you I’m no f****t…. and bring your sister as well.” :rolleyes: For the record Ibra has a wife and Pique a gf, but it is a very interesting pic, there is more than likely some hugely high-profile players out there that are homosexual and will most likely never come out until well after retirement, if ever. So what do ya reckon, anything to see here?

    If you didn't know who they were your immediate reaction would be that its a picture of "an intimate moment" between two men.

    Hold on a cotton picking minute, you trying to imply that God (Scholes) is gay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Neville and Scholes are gay?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I thought it was clear what they're doing. Pique is just doing Ibra's cuff-links.

    Nah Scholes wasn't into it at all, just Neville. But in the pic there Ibra is holding back a bit just like Scholes, but he's trying to fight his feelings, he's knows it's wrong but it feels so right...

    I would say they are just joking around having a laugh, probably ripping the piss out of the media. Its too blatant to be a serious picture.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,243 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    Its gona be a pisser when Ibrahimovic leaves in the summer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,934 ✭✭✭OhNoYouDidn't


    Ibra was asked about this by a female reporter and said "if you think I am gay, come around to my place and bring your sister".

    I'm both appalled and amused in equal measures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,957 ✭✭✭The Volt

    No. Who cares? It doesn't affect their ability to play football as much as Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney and John Terry have cheated on their spouses.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Jaysus, is it last week again??? :D

    Ibra, on being asked by a female reporter was he gay, replied "why don't you and your sister come round to my place and see am I gay"!!!

    Good to see the lads are happy.
    Maybe it'll inspire Barca to embrace gay culture with their next shirt like above.
    It's about time football cashed in on the "pink pound":pac:

    Glazers Out!

    In fairness you would have to be pretty gay to say no to Ronaldo.

    Ibra has got more respect from me for this, his answer to the reporter is just of epic proportions.

    I'm bored and just having a laugh. Couldn't give a flying fu ck in reality what footballers or anyone else get up ta apart from playing football so don't pick up me wrong.

    Just thought it was a humourish thread and doesn't seem to have anything to do with football so continued along those lines.

    Wayne Rooney never cheated on his spouse.

    Edit: just to avoid confusion, being 18 and playing away from your girlfriend, is different than being a married, family man and cheating. bit unfair to lump him in with what those two clowns did. Cheating on Cheryl Cole FFS!!!

    I would disagree, having sex with a prostitute when you are in a relationship is cheating.

    The Rooney/Ronnie pics made me burst out laughing!

    For what it's worth, I believe most of the posters on this forum don't have any misgivings about a person's sexuality, ethnicity, sex, creed etc. and the banter about the pics are intended as harmlessly poking fun at the inflated egos and rampant heterosexuality that's synonymous with rich footballers.


    It's a bit of light humour and, dare i say it, a bit of gossiping that isn't intended on hurting anyone. Having said that, sending a reporter and tv crew to harass Ibra about a harmess pic is taking things too far.

    All well and good, but what happens on the off chance that there is something to the picture?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭SM01


    The Ibra & Pique one? If they're gay, then that's grand with me and I should think every other right-minded person. In this day and age, a person's sexuality is no big deal. Because they're famous, it will pique (ahem...) interest but only in a light-hearted, gossipy way.

    The Ronnie/Rooney one which you commented on though - well they both have reps as hot-blooded heteros so that's just a bit of fun.

    I don't think I've ever had the thought to give a thread stars before but this one deffo deserves one star for horrendous.

    The picture was clearly taken at just the right/wrong moment and makes it look like something more than it is. Just like the Rooney/Ronaldo pics can be construed like that also if you want to.

    A joke about anything, no matter how much stigma attached in my opinion is harmless, as long as it has a punchline. If the punchline is pretty much that they're gay, or that someones handicapped, or that someones a different race, thats a bit different. Can't see anything here other than 'haha they're gay'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,465 ✭✭✭SM01


    I feel our lines are twisted here. I can't defend anyone else on the forum, I'll leave them speak for themselves. My stance is: I found the Rooney / Ronaldo series of pics v funny. I don't think you did. Fair enough.

    Re. Pique & Ibrahimović, Personally speaking, I've no probs with people discussing it or making light-hearted jokes about it. If someone posts something blatantly homophobic and offensive then that's out of order. I don't think that mark has been over-stepped but that's not my call.
