According to the paper today it is as Merlin says but she has put up with it in the past - perhaps he was given a warning last time???? Apparently it has cost £150,000 to try and suppress it.

Alleged affairs - I don’t think they were around much during the last millennium. All we ever heard about was alleged war shortages & the like.

And there is no way I can afford an injunction let alone a super-injunction. Luckily, I don’t need one at the moment - so there! But I suppose they will come down in price after they become more common - I mean for the hard-pressed working full-time Friday payslip, if lucky, residents of the UK.

God save our Queen.

I don't like these super injunctions either. As others have said if it had been in the papers people would have forgot about it by the next day.

As for the woman possibly selling her story well if HE had kept it in his pants, HE, the person who made a commitment to his wife, HE who pledged fidelity to his wife when HE married her, there would have been no story and no need for a super injunction.

I'm not overly concerned with ..did he...didn't he ?..(there is an argument that once you put an *image* out there you waive your right to anonymity as people tend to *buy* the person rather than the brand.. that's just the way it is..that's the reason why sponsors drop those whose halos slip).

Personally it ain't going to rock my world if another famous footballer played away from home in the non football sense.......

BUT

Seems to me that if you have enough money to do so you can silence people you want to and slander them in the process whilst remaining anonymous yourself. WRONG on all levels. EVERYONE has the right to put THEIR side across...be it the rich, poor, male, female, university graduate or bimbo..it matters not....there should not be one course of action available to the wealthy and *put up with it or else* available to the average Joe. I firmly believe this.

Footballers - young men with too much money and, sadly in many cases, too few brains. Why don't they sow their wild oats during their playing career THEN settle down - mostly their careers are going downhill by early 30s anyway - hardly ancient.

if you love somebody enough to marry them
you should stay faithful
or have the guts to end it before this sort of thing happens
when the trusts gone its gone
nothing you can ever do to get it back

when my best friend had an affair i took his wifes side
even though we had been best friends for 36 years
he was wrong to do it and i told him so

Sorry..*allegedly* cheated..I'll edit in a mo Joy..lol.

I notice that Claire's post has been sent to RR....Can I just say..despite my post saying I was hacked off with people slating Imogen Thomas...which I am...It wasn't me that reported it.

Part of the reason I'm so hacked off with this injunction malarky is because I hate not being able to (within reason) say my bit. Its Claire's opinion and I firmly believe she's entitled to air it x

Thomas has a good point:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8477842/Imogen-Thomas-Ive-been-thrown-to-the-lions-by-footballer-injunction.html

(The Telegraph, forgive me)

______________________________________________________

Imogen Thomas, a former Miss Wales, said she had never intended to sell her story about an alleged six month affair with the married player.

However, the 28-year-old said she was angry that his name had been protected while she had been subsequently named and shamed.

The footballer gained an injunction at a private hearing before Mr Justice Eady at the High Court earlier this month.

Speaking on ITV’s This Morning’s Miss Thomas said she did not have as much money as the wealthy sportsman.

“I had no intention of speaking about the man,” she said. “I just wish that my name was protected.
______________________________________________________

Why should a person be able to start an action naming someone, and disclosing exactly the same details as that person does not want disclosed about themself?


In, er, affairs like this, I tend to think each is as bad as the other.

Each knew they were doing the dirty on someone innocent.

If people want to sleep with multiple people, they need to not get married (or marry someone who doesn't care), or get unmarried. Pretty simple.


Can we talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger now? ;)

Rich, famous, powerful men and their lower-status women on the side.

Yech.

My all-time most hated is Eliot Spitzer, the crusading Attorney General and then Governor of New York State. He impressed me in his early days. Presidential material, I thought. Then he took on the big banks -- before the crash, he was fixing to expose them and their practices -- and he had to go.

But to give the bad guys the ammunition by carrying on with call girls ... what kind of a stupid narcissist do you have to be, eh?

(Was it Bobtanian told me to go get the documentary Inside Job, about the banks, in which Spitzer appears? No.1 did get it, we just haven't got around to watching it yet!)

lol @ Muffy's basic interest :) Muffy, I get irritated with the whole name calling thing too - even if the whole story is true, none of us know what goes on between a couple of people just because there's a lot of stuff published about them - or not published:)

BC, David Ginola is still in fine form :)
