    Those stats represent 15yr periods for both players, so Giggs has played on average nearly 20 more games a season than Bale.
    Giggs was born in 1973, and turned 31 in November of 04/05. By the end 03/4, from adding up on wikipedia, he had played 415 league games. Add on maybe 15 for those few months and that's only a difference of about three games a season.

    What about taking a golf club to a fellow professionals kneecaps? I suppose that’s ok because the victim was a man?

    As good as Bellamy and Giggs were, they are both nasty little ****ers!

    Giggs has done so well for Wales but he’s ruined it being a **** of a human being

    He should be loved like the other Wales managers before him but he’s totally spoilt it for himself, and if I’m honest for me as a fan.

    I held my nose for a time after the Rhodri affair, some people deserve second chances but it’s obviously his true colours.

    You are right, Fergie would never have allowed it unless of course it was in some money-bags invitational game

    Giggs never really suffered any major injuries though did he?

    Does the same apply to these also?
    Ramsey has just 65 caps in 13 years. That could also be argued as pathetic when comparing to Gunter. Both spent a similar period playing for their country.

    Ramsey’s availability for Wales, and in particular friendlies, has been shocking but in typical hypocritical fashion Cardiff fans turn a blind eye to this.

    Glad your not on the jury….he is guilty already then? No smoke without fire but let’s just wait and see eh? I’ve known a few crazy bitches in my time who liked to get lairy and violent when pissed up

    Giggs had loads of problems with his hamstrings.

    Wilson used to beat Gigg's mother, which is why he later disowned his father.
    They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
    that was my point

Given Bale's attitude to his home country as well, he has to be, possibly, the best Wales player ever and definitely above Giggs.

    Bellamy was once alleged to have grabbed a woman by the throat in a city centre night club. Memory serves me well he was found ‘not guilty’.

    Same thing could happen to Giggs.

    Like I said, playing devils advocate.

    If it wasn't clear from my original comment , what I said is dependent on him being found guilty of abusing his wife.

    Regarding the affair with his brother's wife, that type of thing doesn't really concern me because adultery , no matter what the circumstances, is not a criminal offence. It is a private issue and I don't think this type of info should really be in the public domain. If everyone were judged on the same criteria in the tabloid media, very few of us would escape unblemished.

    I take your point regarding innocence until proven guilty, if that was the original point you were making...... I'm not sure it was though.

    My playing at being 'devils advocate' wasn't particularly directed at you personally but just put out there for consideration.

    The point of 'innocence until proven guilty' is one of the points, amongst others. I think it's quite interesting that some individuals get mullered on here whilst (perhaps) others are seen in a different light.

    Also many on here jumping to conclusions about his guilt.

    Ched Evans anyone?

    As Bale's closest rival for the title of best ever Welsh player I'd say.
