With 7 complainants there is no defense unless they can prove some kind of conspiracy. Should have taken whatever plea deal was available, his football career is over regardless because he's going away for a while.

Don't forget he did it more than once after he had already been arrested for it

Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs, on trial for assaulting and coercively controlling an ex-girlfriend, told a UK court Wednesday that his record of one sending off in a 24-year career showed he was not prone to violence

That's actually his defence?

Finding out he gets mad about the dishwasher being loaded badly is the closest I've ever come to empathy with Giggs, but then I read on and found out he was running it 4 times a day and he was upset about the direction the spoons were facing and he's just completely unhinged

He would run the whole dishwasher cycle again because the spoons were the "wrong way round"? Lock this psycho up

No it was running multiple times a day and he was getting wound up that much about the spoons every time

This is the athletics write up of that bit

What about the dishwasher?
This has been another running theme of the trial.

Greville has alleged she was treated like “a slave” and that her boyfriend would berate and humiliate her because of the way she loaded the dishwasher.

When this was put to Giggs, he admitted the dishwasher was the source of many issues and mentioned his daughter, Libby, and her boyfriend, Jacob, were also staying with the couple during lockdown.

“We would get up, make juices, me and Kate. Two hours later, Jacob would get up. He would be cooking. The dishwasher would be on three or four cycles a day. I would be opening the dishwasher and the glasses and tablespoons would be the wrong way round. It used to wind me up. I would call a team meeting — it was not just Kate but everyone. I would say, ‘Listen, can you please put the tablespoons the right way round?’. It wasn’t a big argument, it was just how I explained it.”

Giggs was asked whether he really called it a team meeting.

“Yes,” said Giggs, and for the first time, he was laughing. “Because after a time I’d be, ‘That’s enough, I’m sick of it’, filling up the dishwasher 24/7.”

This is what I read

The Independent posted:

Mr Giggs insisted there had been “no big arguments” but said he was “wound up” by the way people in the house loaded the dishwasher.

“I would be opening the dishwasher and the tablespoons would be the wrong way round,” he told the court.

“It would wind me up because I would have to do it again so I called a team meeting and just said, ‘Everyone, can you please put the tablespoons the right way round.’

“It wasn’t a big argument, it was just how I explained it.”

What we need is a goddamn court transcript to solve this whole thing.

i want to know if it’s spoons with the handle upwards or downwards or if it’s that he always wants the curved side facing left or right

it’s probably neither he’s just an abusive psycho and anything would be a good enough reason mind

I'm more interested in the glasses. Did his family repeatedly put the glasses in right ways up so they fill up with gross water every time?

I get more wound up by my housemate loading cutlery in the front of the cutlery basket so I either have to open the dishwasher and pull out the whole drawer or reach over dirty forks to find a spot to put mine in.

But I do not care which direction they face so I'm totally normal

a poem that Giggs wrote was entered as evidence:

quote:

My darling Kate

Unequivocally our love was fate

I fell in love with you at first sight

I remember coz I was as high as a kite

Those beautiful eyes made me shiver

I’m not gonna lie I think of you I dream of you

Can’t help thinking pulling you was my greatest ever coo

That stomach those abs

Those pictures you send so I can keep tabs

You make me feel funny down there

Especially when you’re there and you look up and stare

I’m beginning to think you are always right

That’s okay it will keep us tight

I’m gonna end by saying you are my love my friend my soul

And most of all you believe in me, which makes me hard as a totem pole
