Ryan Giggs...congratulations

[mikey4444]

I will be the first to acknowledge that I know next to nothing about football,
but this young man deserves all the praise that is coming to him. Mixed race and Welsh, and a wonderful success ! Well done Ryan !

making room to spend more time with his brother's family, eh?

[tonyav]

I don't think he's of mixed race, mikey.

[mikey4444]

Oh Mush...really !...what a naughty boy you are !

[mikey4444]

Tonyav...yes he is !

[tonyav]

Ah, so he is, I didn't know that.

[mikey4444]

What a bl**dy cynical lot we have here on AB this evening...shame on you all !

[mikey4444]

Its OK tonyav...its a mistake anybody could make ! But why did you think he looked the way he does ?.......he could hardly play Bertie Wooster now could he !

[tonyav]

Dunno, mikey, never really thought about it until you mentioned it.

[mushroom25]

sorry mikey but howsoever good a sportsman he is, the man is a snake. not only was he carrying on with a celebrity model client of max clifford's whilst projecting a cosy image of faithful family man, but he was also hiding behind an injunction so secret that the press weren't even allowed to acknowledge its existence.

no. the man is a sleazebag.

off the field i don't give a toss!!
on the field one of the best man utd players ever well done giggsy and in the years to come will be a GREAT utd manager!

When people feel others are worthy of congratulations solely on their achievements, we might be some way to eradicating racism. This is nothing more than an overt attempt to be seen to be liberally politically correct and, frankly, it's insulting. I know nothing about football, but if the man is to be commended for his skills, then commend him for his skills. Anything else is patronising.

[berniecuddles]

well said naomi

[naomi24]

Thank you, Bernie. This really annoys me. If anything exacerbates racism it's rubbish like this.

[berniecuddles]

and of course all who slagged him off are saints...yer right

[berniecuddles]

and cheers mikey for best answer

[royfromaus]

Are you Welsh, mikey?
