England footballer wins continuation of gagging order

England footballer wins continuation of gagging order: There has been increasing concern over the use of gagging orders to hide embarrassing information An England footballer has won a continuation of a High Court gagging order preventing the "misuse" of private information about him.

 

An injunction blocking publication of allegations about his private life was originally granted to the sportsman on 19 August.

 

The move came shortly after another England international player was granted a similar court order.

 

The terms of the orders prohibit either of the footballers from being named.

 

The latest ruling was made by Mr Justice Kenneth Parker, sitting in London. The initial injunction was granted by a different judge.

 

Before the proceedings went into private session, Hugh Tomlinson QC, for the footballer, stressed it was not a so-called super-injunction - one which even prevents publication of the fact an injunction has been granted.

 

Private hearing

 

Mr Tomlinson said: "It is an injunction which does not seek to conceal its own identity, but seeks to conceal the identity of the claimant and the defendant because it is an injunction which relates to private information."

 

The footballer's lawyer then called for proceedings to be held in private, because he said hearing the case in open court would "defeat the object of the hearing".

 

The judge said it was indeed "an appropriate case to be heard in private".

 

There has been increasing concern over the use of injunctions to stop reporting of potentially embarrassing revelations.

 

There was outrage last year after an injunction granted to the Swiss multinational Trafigura appeared to restrict what MPs could say in Parliament.

 

The footballer's injunction will now continue until a further order or other court action.

Any one know what this is all about? Without actually breaking the law...

This will be locked within minutes I warrent... but if rumours are to be belived then this might something to do with a current England player, and the daughter of a former Irish international midfielder of Anfield fame. Perhaps. Maybe. Caveated with massive disclaimers of it's all a fabrication.

Yep...that one.

I think the Anfield one with an "alleged" or close to being minor and a pregnancy were the 1st gagging order. Although who that player is is anyone's guess.........

Oh so it isn't the story about Peter Crouch and the stag night in Spain then

Ok thats fine then. If that is the case it sounds fairly private. I wondered if it was more like player covering up crime or betting scandle etc.

..... then again... if she was under age.... its a crime and should be in the public interest to make it open...

A few very subtle clues here

On a totally unrelated note somebody has left the toilet seat up!

What's that? Gerrard got a 15 year old up the duff?

I heard something a couple of weeks ago regarding a London based current England international. I was told he had been naughty with the club's goalkeeper's wife.

I'm past the point of caring anymore. They are all scum.

Steven Gerrard. I heard he had done a John Terry from sources a while back, but oh well. It may or may not be true, we shall never find out.

I can catagorically state that the Gerrard rumour(s) is (are) a complete loads of ********. Made up by some scallies and has spread all over the place.

Nope. From someone who knows a few paps, there is some truth in them.

Love to know who his source is, mine's the editor of a national sunday tabloid? One rumour was even saying he banged Curren's little sister - she hasnt even got a sister!

Sorry, I wanted it to be true badly as I think she's a slag that looks like she's been ****ted in the face with a frying pan straight off the hob, but it really isn't.

Who gives a toss? Seriously?

People with sad lives who get their kicks by reading about other people's goings-on?

Sad, very sad.

TBF i agree BTF, i really couldn't give a flying f*ck who they are and what they are up to.

Do we really have a right to know the ins and outs of their lives ? Would you want people knowing ??

On a side note, the piccy in the Goallymolly post about actually looks like Lescott even with the smudging.

Who gives a toss? Seriously?

Sad, very sad.

true but those footballers who think they are demi gods and think they can get away with anything do need wake up calls.

Like what ?? They don't really do anything normal people don't do in a way, just with a bit more excess.

I know people that have cheated, done drugs, got caught up with gambling etc and i am sure they wouldn't want there names plastered all over T'net

Isnt that Glen Johnson in the goaly moaly pic?

I'd heard rumours about Stevie G but thought they were rubbish?

I too don't give a fig about thier private lives. It is however the root of thier problems

Might have something to do with something I heard about a player in a playing in the M area of the north.

the last paragraph in an article in todays Mail.

But then Hugh’s devotion to wife Lulu is so strong it is understood he is known to fellow thespians as the Ryan Giggs of the showbusiness world, after the famously family-orientated footballer

LOL, that will be two fingers to the courts and injunction ruling then.

Problem with all these injunctions, the rumours and inuendoes sculling around could easily implicate completelry the wrong person and make their life a misery.

Apart from 'Citizen Cane' outed by a political rival in the film, you never hear of Newspaper Editors getting caight up in scandal

Perhaps they all live blameless lives

Must be showing my age......never heard of David Threlfall and Pauline McLynn, Hugh Bonneville, David Schneider or Imogen Thomas.

And to be honest I really couldn't care about the sexual activities of any of those mentioned on that twitter page.

Careful! Dont get libellous

If rumours are to be believed then possibly our ex manager has a Super Injunction. The person who has revealed all the names in his '5 a side' team has our ex boss as the manager..
