I expect there will be a lot of anger at them if it turned out to be true. It really is only a rumour at the moment.

I could easily set up a twitter account, claiming to be a football agent, then tweet that Ray Parlour has a secret Nazi torture chamber. It doesn't make it true. Probable...but not true.

Yeh I know it's all rumors but I mean if it is true people are going to go mad.

Louise must be terrified ATM if is true

But like you said plenty of ifs & maybes ATM

Well if these rumours are true, and the other rumour is true, and this whole situation was merely a front, then why should everyone be angry with anyone over anything? Surely we should be angry at football society for being less accepting, as surely this would be the reason why this situation happened, and we should be angry at the media that were the likely stokers of the fire that caused the outcome.

Of course I could be completely wrong, it is all rumours after all

It's strange but even though Gary Speed has played in the prem since the beginning and so must have played against the Spurs I can't honestly say I don't ever remember seeing him play live so he couldn't have made that much of impression on me.
As for eternal triangles, they happen all the time so I don't see why anybody who never met any of them should feel they have any right to an opinion on his wife or any ex player.

There's a new rumour every day it seems. It really is pathetic from people to spread rumours so soon after the death of Gary Speed. I'd rather wait until we hear anything official come out rather than speculate on what may or may not have happened. It's disrespectful and the friends and family of Gary Speed shouldn't read this crap at such a difficult time.

It's the shitty side of social networking which is full of people who feel they can spread any nonsense they like through the protection of the internet.

Been told the Dunc rumours are not true and the real reason Gary speed killed himself is that The Sun was about to run a story on him having a 2 year gay relationship with this fella (no one famous) so he told his wife, she left him and took the kids. When she came back she found him hanged.

I was told that by a friend of a friend at the FA, The Sun approached the FA to get the ok to publish the story and they said yes

Wasn't he out with his wife the night he died? It doesn't sound like she'd left him.

Sounds a bit crappy. WTF has it got to do with the FA? He was employed by the FAoW. Why haven't The Sun published the story? Oh it must be out of concern for his famoly and friends.

waiting for the dust to settle and trying not to look like bigger cads than they already are, not easy I agree

Yeah big dunc, his wife and kid.

To be honest there's two rumours both with duncs name. Can't say I believe the rumours though!


Didn't believe the Duncan ferguson rumours and then I saw the two boys on MoTD2 last night before the Newcastle game. Now, it could be just coincidence, but my word, both those boys could pass for being Ferguson's children. Same eyes and mouth.
