The S*n Newspaper smears Dallaglio

[coddy]

From today's paper https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9172251/lawrence-dallaglio-england-rugby-captain-filthy-messages/

The lady in question knew he was a famous Rugby player but didn't know he was married? Unlikely me thinks.

[Heathen]

Wonder how old this 'story' is?

Ahh.. The Sun.. next days fish and chip paper

Seems no-one ever reads the story before commentating. All as alleged in the story, first met him in Dec 2017, last message received from him last week. Implies she knew he was married, but "since he didn't mention his wife assumed they'd split up".

One can only assume that in light of the phone hack scandal and payouts the Sun would only run with this if they'd seen the actual messages and had been able to verify the sender's number?

Is it a smear if it's true?

[Rossm]

Text and tell.

Presumably the texts were not all one way.

Is it a smear if it's true?

Nope. Silly bugger.

[Rifleman Harris]

Is it a smear if it's true?

Nope. Silly bugger.

But is it really any one else's business than those involved?

[Neils]

No BUT somebody wants money so it becomes public fodder. Silly for putting himself in the position.

Surprised there are no pictures of the texts in question. See these all the time in trashy articles like this.

Saw this myself in the newsagent.
Only person hurt is Lol and Mrs Lol, non rugby story. Perhaps in 1958 this would be a story, not now.
The amount of interest I have in the story is the square root of sod all.

I have even less interest than that

An unnecessary thread.
