The Manchester City left-back refused to shake John Terry's hand in the wake of the "Terrygate" scandal. Firstly, Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend had the affair with Terry (notice the "ex" prefix), which was a private matter, and then the media made the headlines. Firstly, Bridge wasn't in a relationship with the woman in question despite her being a mother to Bridge's child, and secondly Terry was the one who lost out. Terry almost lost his wife, lost sponsorship money and the England captaincy thanks to Capello's beliefs and knee-jerk reaction to idiotic media pressure. What Terry did was morally wrong, but what Bridge did at Stamford Bridge was just plain unprofessional. What happens off the pitch is irrelevant, when you step out into the limelight of a Premier League fixture a certain decorum should be maintained. Bridge was pathetic, childish and wholly unprofessional. A close second in this week's award was Craig Bellamy, whose unpopularity is well documented. The Welshman went on record as saying "everybody in football knows what the guy (Terry) is like". Well, Craig Bellamy, it is well known what you're like. Sending abusive messages to Alan Shearer, Brawling in a Cardiff nightclub and hitting former Liverpool team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club because he wouldn't sing in a karaoke competition. As Terry himself said, "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones".

Couldn't disagree more!!!
ReplyDeleteA private matter? - it comes hand in hand with being captain of England that your life isnt private anymore!
No Bridge wasn't in a relationship - but he was. Terry got her pregnant, forced her to have an abortion, all whilst pretending to be bridge's shoulder to cry on
Terry lost out???? It was him and only him that did what he did....
So, If you work at Homebase with your mate who gets your missess pregnant and makes her have an abortion. Rings you all the time to see how things are going and updating you on the situation as you have recently split up....would you shake his hand 2 weeks later when you came to work....no - you'd want to fucking kill the backstabbing ****
Your blog is simply from a biased Chelsea fan in a little hissy fit.
I am also a Chelsea fan but have the common sense (like most people) to know that JT is an absolute knob off the field - and credit to Bellamy for saying it.
Yes Terry off the field is a knob (something which the blogger has recognised), but to credit that ex-Liverpool and West Ham scumbag BELLAMY (we all know what he gets up to off the field... golf clubs come to mind) for saying that JT is an absolute knob off the field? For that I know you´re posing as a Chelsea fan.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a private matter until the English gutter press decided they wanted to undermine England´s team spirit (once again) on the eve of a World Cup.
Bridge wasn´t in a relationship, so he has nothing to whinge about. If he doesn´t like JT shagging his ex-missus he shouldn´t have broken up with her in the first place, should he?
Right, here's where I break my silence. If footballers have such a pivotal role in society, your silly homebase example fails. These are supposed to be role models. That is how they are expected to behave in front of millions. That is why Bridge was unprofessional. As for Terry, think about what Gerrard and Rio (who put England in trouble with not doing the drugs test because he "forgot"). You sir are an idiot. Bellamy is one to talk as well. Think about the situation. I love the way the public and press act as if they have never done anything wrong in their lives. I don't agree with what Terry did (as I said if you bothered to read it properly), but it is between them to resolve the issue off the pitch.
