Beckham... what a gent

[Cathryn]

I kind of agree but the whole Rebecca Loos episode completely spoiled it for me. I was gutted.

I think if you read any of our friendly thread starters posts you'll find he was joking!

Don't let it get you all hot and bothered!

sexist ? how do you work that out ? if it was a child and he said mind the child would that be discriminatory ?
He said woman because there isn't really anything else you could have said is there ?

Erm.... mind that person please ? ffs

Why did he say 'mind the lady, please' What were they doing wrong?

 

[Greedo]

I would imagine acting like typical press knobs and jostling each other out the way to get their microphones in Beckhams face.

Why did he say 'mind the lady, please' What were they doing wrong?

Not possible. You couldn't disguise Jools Hollands as anything except perhaps a large lump of poo

Cathryn hit the nail on the head for me; if it weren't for the Rebecca Loos incident I would be a real fan, but that definitely tarnished him for me. Nice that it seems to have been forgotten by most (forgiveness?) but I have a longer memory...

To err is human, to forgive divine

everyone is human, we all make mistakes and we never know what goes on behind closed doors. i'm not particularly a fan but he does seem to be a good role model in general. gary linekar mark II

In many ways, I agree. There are few sportsmen who I think make such a good role model for kids. But he just lost it for me at that point.
