haha, last time it was garry flitcroft. talk about boring! what was the point in him even bothering with a court injunction?

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 11:57 (7 years ago) Permalink

what story?

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 11:59 (7 years ago) Permalink

the name has been published in the irish papers - the injuction doesn't cover the emerald isle

Michael Owen? I couldn't comment since there's an injunction in place, obviously. Though anyone who read the Eire edition of The Sun yesterday would have seen it, as the injunction does not apply.

RONAN TO THREAD!

It's probably Phil Neville, or someone dull like that. Phil Neville - loverat. Could you imagine?

I am shocked by who the person is, on top of previous revelations. I didn't think he had it in him. Though he did seem to find aspects of the Worthington Cup more cathartic than usual.

what's the legality on this, if an english person reads a link to an irish newspaper they've found on a messageboard "based" in australia?

eek, brainmelt...

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 13:07 (7 years ago) Permalink

Owen gambling revelations, probably.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 4 March 2003 13:38 (7 years ago) Permalink

If anyone is interested the footballer in question has been named, according to the ITV news, on the BBC Celebdaq website. (ITV weren't allowed to repeat his name).

― Fuzzy (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 13:26 (7 years ago) Permalink

ah, they're taking the Michael.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 13:28 (7 years ago) Permalink

It's been removed from the homepage. Questions about his identity on the message boards but nobody's dared answer (yet).

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 14:09 (7 years ago) Permalink

It's as clear as daylight on Popbitch's board. But you'll learn nowt there that isn't on this thread.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 5 March 2003 14:11 (7 years ago) Permalink

I couldn't get into popbitch last night.

but having found it elsewhere, it's hardly the nasty stuff I imagined.

Madchen, your boyf knows the identity too.

I have scoured newspapers for this information as my sister is MAKING MY LIFE A MISERY. I can't find a thing!

What's he done though? I find no mention of that on the interweb.

Michael Owen is a little gambling adulterer who is not as good as Steffen Freund*

One of these is not true.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:34 (7 years ago) Permalink

Michael Owen is a little gambling adulterer who is not as good as Steffen Freund*

*One allegation in this statement is not true.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:34 (7 years ago) Permalink

can you be an adulterer if not married?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:37 (7 years ago) Permalink

The adultery bit is the bit that's not true.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:43 (7 years ago) Permalink

Screwing around. I think that's the correct phrase.

What was the Beckham thing that caused troble on the boards previously? Somebody mentioned it to me but I failed to register.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:58 (7 years ago) Permalink

Beckham was incorrectly rumoured to be having an affair with his wife's sister

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 March 2003 11:34 (7 years ago) Permalink

Matt DC you will be taken to court for alleging that Owen is not as good as Freund - this apocryphal heresy can not go unpunished

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 March 2003 11:36 (7 years ago) Permalink

And what was the ILX related scandal?

I have been clicking refresh, waiting for a reply for eighteen hours.

I thought it was supposed to be with michael owen's sister?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 7 March 2003 11:39 (7 years ago) Permalink

Wasn't that Giggs?
