Why doesn't she just go round wearing jersey of the team the guy plays with and his name and number on the back! Sure she can't get done for that

Wolfe Tone

Go on the Herald.

F***in' madness that this s***e would make the front page of any paper.

I really couldn't give a **** what footballers or any other celebrities does in their private lives.

rockmongrel

Can I ask if Irish Papers can name the player? If not, why not? I've no interest in football or celebrities, just how the law actually works.

Bodhisopha

It's disgraceful what is going on at that club.

A Barcelona victory at the weekend will not only be a victory for football, but a victory for family values also.

I know. Who honestly gives a ****.

I don't really care myself just thought it was funny how much trouble he went to block it from becoming public knowledge and it took twitter to break the "story"

This thread needs a poll to see how much we all actually give a flying feck.

If the injunction is only law in England, how come no Irish papers have named the popular winger yet?

I've been naming him for weeks and just posted about TSE (who is after jouro' Giles Coren) too - like thats a secret too LOL

CNNconsumernews have been naming Giggs too: http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6089/20110522173102.jpg amid many other sites now.

Fairly sure the injunction is actually the UK, not just England*. And all the Irish papers are sold up in Northern Ireland.

* Actually the judge phrased it as worldwide.

Also it's generally a good idea that if a judge in a powerful country (America, UK in particular) gives you an order that you obey it. Who wants to get into the difficulties of arguing jurisdiction etc. You might win but you end up burning time and money.
Even for a small time website or newspaper theres a tiny risk that you'll be the one that the system tries to make an example of.

Biggins

Just as regards Twitter:

Twitter hasn’t commented on the lawsuit, but as an American company, it’s probably protected from the legal action. Here in the U.S., we have a law (Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) that protects sites from liability from things said by their users.

http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2011/05/20/he-who-cannot-be-named-in-the-uk-sues-twitter-over-a-user-naming-him/

A CNN site and Forbes can openly name him besides many others.

No way. We all saw what happened to that poor Imogen Thomas when she cared to elaborate. No thanks.

Only a Premiership player would be stupid enough to think he could stop the INTERNET.

allthedoyles

Can ye all not get this , -

There is an important football match coming up next weekend and this guy will be playing .

This story must be put on hold , until after that match - I bet his club are really behind the gagging .

Then the player can retire into oblivion , and be front pages news for a change .

It takes two to tango but only one of them was hung out to dry. Where is the justice in that?

Its going on at every club. These men are paid millions a year and women just throw themselves at them.

Well for his possible tainting of her (supposedly he said she was blackmailing him), she is now saying she going to try clearing her name in court: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1389599/Imogen-Thomas-threatens-sue-footballer-blackmail-claims.html

She is just as guilt in their illicit actions - but she can't even stand up for herself because he wants to keep his image reportedly for fear of losing advertising deals and sponsorship deals for products.

michael999999

Thats certainly knocked him off hes f***ing perch!

Lol at the years of bull we have had to put up with about the supposed good guy of football, the model family man my left b***x.

She is not without guilt but no way is she just as guilty as him. His marriage and family is much less her responsibility than his.

If the images match up to the names, supposedly Boy George and Piers Morgan (http://twitter.com/#!/welsh_gas_doc) Giggs is trying to shut them up too.
Not that the Daily Mail make it un-obvious in their own pictures!: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1389689/Super-injunction-footballer-alleged-affair-Imogen-Thomas-revealed-newspaper.html
