If he were in a public position where it was an essential part of the job that he was known to be trustworthy,then I could see the point of exposing any suspicions of an affair.But he’s a footballer,for goodness’ sake.What does it matter if he ALLEGEDLY cheats on his wife ?
In the same vein,what does it matter if Tiger Woods has been putting it about a bit ? Surely that’s only of concern to Mr. and Mrs. Woods and the various ladies involved.
Why do we need to know everything about everybody ?

I’m so gullible …
It’s really mean to tease old ladies,you know.

What have I missed ? It’s the BBC website article so it must be true,mustn’t it ? All right I’ll bung it in then.

Being female my first reaction would be to say that he’s a cheating rat who deserves to be exposed,particularly as the judge suggested that Terry was acting more to protect his sponsorship deals than out of consideration for his wife and children.
On the other hand,isn’t everyone entitled to make a mistake in their private life without the world and his wife knowing about it ? Who does it benefit to plaster it all over the papers ?

” That fat tart’s ” name is Lisa Riley.
OK,digression + mild feminist rant.
How is it that men can find so many derogatory names for women,whilst the opposite doesn’t apply for women themselves ? Apart from b*****d or rat,I’d have a job to add any word after ” fat ” for a male YBF presenter.”Bounder” or “cad” sounds like Leslie Phillips crossed with Jane Austen.It’s an inequality that’s always puzzled me.
In case you were thinking I sound like Ann Widdecombe,my exact contemporary and therefore role model,I’m not against swearing as such.If I drop something heavy on my foot I certainly don’t say,dear me,that really hurt.I just think it’s used far too indiscriminately.

My favourite has always been Fawlty Towers. I can watch them over and over again and I still laugh my socks off!

By far the best British comedy series ever IMHO,and without a single swear word.

If we’re playing what makes you laugh most,then for me it has to be sarcasm.
Bob Mills was great at it,though he’s never on TV now,and Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe usually reduces me to tears of laughter.
Mr.Bee will sit laughing his socks off through The Vicar of Dibley whilst I sit in stony silence,having seen every so-called funny line coming a mile off.
But he absolutely can’t understand why I love Flight of the Conchords,far too subtle for him.
Daughter cracks up at The Mighty Boosh,which leaves both of us cold.
