i think its shocking but then again i also agree footballers get far to much money for kicking a ball around when doctors and nurses are saving peoples lives and they get a pitance |

GP's are well paid at around £100k but hospital consultants often earn little more that £30-40k, around the same as the tanker drivers currently on strike. |

I too think its obscene, and also think footballers are grossly overpaid ,but they are hardly likely to say no thanks are they, I am sure many of us would be delighted at the offer of more money if we are honest. |

at the risk of getting shot down.............why does it bother so many people......its their money...shouldn't they be allowed to spend it how they want. |

What I object to as well as the amount being spent, that's up to them if they want to show off, is that fact that we have to have it shoved in our faces morning noon and night by the media! Every little thing is deemed reportable. So what if she changed her knickers 3 times! |

football was the working mans sport, somewhere to go and let off steam after a hard weeks work. Now the working man can hardly afford to go see a game. And the overpaid footballers rub our noses in it by spending vast amounts of money on over priced weddings cars and homes. There are more improtant jobs where people do not earn those sums of money. |

what I object to with footballers as opposed to rugby players is that when they score a goal they all congratulate each other and run towards their supporters arms outstretched with a "look how clever I am" attitude when that is exactly what they are supposed to do and what they are getting extraordinarlily well paid to do. Supporters appear to be ripped of by the price of merchandise, and in particular young lads who look up to them as heroes and they want the strip. Poor parents therefore foot the bill to pay for the strip. All this money and a small team like Gretna Green went to the wall through lack of funds - how nice if one of the big clubs had given them a helping hand - where's the sportsmanship there? Rugby players score and carry on with the game and they are not paid anything like footballers. It's only kicking a ball around a pitch when all's said and done. Rant over |

Am I alone then in thinking that two young people, in love and wanting to get hitched should have the wedding of their dreams? |

If we were all footballers would we critisise. I dont care what they do, its makes no difference to my life. Too many other things to worry about. |
