Happy birthday Eric the king

Lib Dem MP John Hemmings named Giggs as the person at the centre of the Imogen Thomas injunction under parliamentary privilege.  He also named Giles Coren as the journalist threatened with jail for revealing on Twitter the name of another Premiership footballer with a super injunction.  The Guardian say they have taken legal advice and have been cleared to name Giggs.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/.

Update:  After also taking legal advice the BBC names Giggs as the man at the centre of the super injunction.

In The clip I heard on the radio earlier he actually said something along the lines of" Ryan Giggs is the Premiership player 75,000 people have said on Twitter is the one with the super injunction, and it's impracticable to lock them up for breach of the injunction".  That's fairly different from Ryan Giggs is the player with the super injunction. As a result from a legal point view I'm surprised at how the media have reported it

I'm all for super injunctions by the way

By naming Giggs they have breached the injunction...ergo...Giggs is the one with the injunction??

Some parlimentary right, you are allowed to talk about anything without fear of prosecution. I'm sure there is more fancy legal speak for it but thats the basics i think

No I understand parliamentary privilege what I am saying is the MP didn't name Ryan Giggs as the player with the injunction in the same way as other MP's named  Goodwin last week. What the MP actually did was say Giggs is the player Twitter users have named. He then implied that was correct. From a legal point of view I am surprised the BBC and the Guardian for reporting the story as 'MP names Giggs as the premiership player with the injunction' or worse still 'Giggs is the player with the injunction'. I would have thought both those types of reports would have been in breach of the Super Injunction.

Amazingly since the injunction is still (technically) in place Imogen Thomas cannot name Ryan Giggs as the footballer she claims to have had an affair with.  Law, ass etc.

I see the drip, drip of news has started with Giggs.  One paper reports that before becoming involved with Giggs, his now wife Stacey Cook, was engaged to Giggs' "best friend".

Shagging your best mate's missus??  He really is a lowlife tr**p

Best of all, the law firm Giggs used to make a balls of keeping his name out of the papers was...Schillings!

[ludermor]

There seems to be a lot of info leaking about Giggs alright and some of it old news, i wonder why all this wasnt released last year in the lead up to the BBC sports personality of the year ? Surely would have been a biiger scoop then

Great stuff last night with the Youth Cup victory. Hopefully Ravel Morrison can settle his head and go on to deliver on his undoubted promise along with a couple of others.

Gary Neville's testimonial tonight. Hope he gets a great evening which is fully deserved, a fantastic career and brilliant professional. Looking forward to him on Sky next season.

[Doogie Browser]

I see Sky are showing his testimonial live also, not often they would do that.

Jesus, United breaking records at all levels     

It's the best youth team I've seen at United.  In saying that, I've only been watching the youth team for 6/7 years but this team is certainly the cream of the crop. 

In terms of talent Pogba and Morrisson are immense.  Hopefully Morrisson will sort his head out and realise what he has got.  I'm pretty certain Pogba will play at a very high level.

Also, Tunnicliffe has been brilliant all season.  His tackling, attitude and surging runs have been great.  Definitely the heartbeat of the team. 

I'm more than hopeful that 2/3 of these lads will go on to be United regulars in a few years.

The conveyor belt and trophies just keep on rollin 

Morrison wouldn't look out of place in the class of 92! once Ravel gets under fergie's wing he'll be alright, i agree... immense talent that's coming through that will surely save United millions & Fergie won't retire until alot of these young guys are established senior players.

Is that in Strangeways??
