Disgusting that Giggs hasn't been knighted

Tue Jan 01, 2013 9:02 am

I know he's been a naughty boy in his private life but there is no doubting his loyalty, commitment, dedication and contribution towards the sport of football. He has helped in the community plenty of times in Manchester and its often reported in their paper of the work he does in the community. 20 years of dedication and no knighthood.

Clearly shows the bias towards (1) the Welsh and (2) footballers, in my opinion.

He most definitely should be Sir Ryan Giggs. Even though I dislike him a little for his lack of passion for playing for Wales being realistic he still deserves a knighthood. What he has achieved at club level is nothing short of remarkable.

I don't think any sports person should be honoured while they are still competing.its their profession and something they get paid very well for.let them get the accolades when they retire.rant over.happy new year.

well he won't get knighted for loyalty to his country!

And let's be honest here, why should someone earning millions of pounds a year for what averages 90 minutes work per week get an award paid for by the tax payer?

All professional footballers should be made to work 3 days a week in schools whilst under club contracts and 3 days a week compuslory for free after they retire.

The problem is you'll find the lower league players do this - in their own time!

Feck knighting any of them :old: :old: :old: :old:

Sir Ryan Giggs passes to Scholes. Scholes out wide to Nani. Nani with a step over and takes on his man. Gets to the byline and delivers a cross. Header out to the edge of the box by Shawcross. The ball falls to Sir Ryan Giggs. He dips the shoulder and curls a shot towards the far post. Its a GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL AND SIR RYAN GIGGS HAS SCORED,,WHAT A HIT SIR, WHAT A HIT. :lol: :lol: :lol:
