Footballer sues Twitter

[SueEllen]

I think that was the reason Andrew Marr came clean. Everyone he knew personally and professionally knew all about his injunction anyway, so what was the point in it.

The point was to stop the politicians who he was interviewing and asking personal questions, turning around and pointing out his own behaviour.

There as the public doesn't care as long as the affair is consensual and there is no chance of corruption unlike what has been alleged more than once about the ex-head of the IMF.

If this isn't resolved, I bet that next season, away fans will be chanting "Big Brother", or something like that, whenever he gets the ball.

I think the guy was going to retire in a few years but even then lots ex-footballers tend to become football pundits, managers or coaches.

This means they aren't out of the media eye.

Yup. 89 seconds of googling it took me.

Yawn. WTF cares?

The more of this non-news I see the more I think it's just a meedja circus to spin more newspaper sales.

While the Irish newspapers are now reporting it from the Spanish newspapers.

When I found out by looking for the person on twitter and reading their tweets a couple of weeks ago, I was disappointed as well.......

Save the rest of us those valuable moments?

Fans will be working on songs already. How do you injunct 20000 away fans singing?

There will be a lot more than 20,000 fans singing his name! Editors will ensure his picture will be in the papers tomorrow, no doubt placed cheekily next to an article about the super injunction. They did the same to Jack Straw when his son was caught with cannabis and it was still a secret.

I can't Imogen why he's doing this.

Is this that Wayne Rooney story again?

Or is it just yet another "over-paid, thick, ugly, footballer shags model" story?

More worrying is the likes of the hyper-injunctions that prevent even Parliament knowing of their existence, and that the serious super-injunction stories (dumping of toxic waste, cruise ships with toxic water tanks) get ignored in all the fuss.

If it is the end of the world this evening, we've brought it on ourselves.

Rant, rant, rant. OK, I'm outta here. I'm even boring me. Even boring myself, I am, yes.

And on a totally unrelated note, Ryan Gigg's solicitor has just bought a new speedboat. Allegedly.

I wonder how long it takes before Admin gets a call from a footballers solicitor?
