        I don't think I'll ever stop finding Carragher's reaction funny.

          The Laura Kuenssberg meme is by far the best one.

                A fellow teacher announced it during a lesson today. We were supposed to be being inspected today as well. It did start off a sensible conversation with a child whose usual utterances are swearwords or recreations of porn films.

                As you were.

                  I can't believe there is.

                    I disagree Guy Profumo - someone abusing a position of trust to feed the meedja gossip pages is newsworthy. Why did she do that? Does she hate Colleen? Is it to keep her family's dirt out of the papers?

                      Colleen Rooney in believing that only her "friends" on instagram - instagram! - have access to her "private" posts, and the Sun don't. Don't the Rooneys have any social media training?

                          But not a football thing.

                          And it's stuff that's been repeated that the complainant has put onto a public forum, isn't it?

                          I don't know.

                          Because I've paid it no need whatsoever.

                            Neither of the last two posts before Guy's make sense to me

                            Are their words missing or something?

                            Guy's is just a standard celebration of his ignorance, so I don't need that one explained.

                            Are middle aged UK men not familiar with the difference between public and private Instagram accounts?

                              I'm obviously missing something.

                              Someone has publicly broadcast something
                              Someone else has passed that on to the gossip columns in the press.

                              Someone 1 has complained that someone 2 told someone else what they could have read for themselves.

                              Thr someone else is a muckraker working for a tabloid.

                              But someone 1 has a beef with someone 2.

                              ?

                                AFAIK there is a private version of Instagram where you can share things with a trusted audience, like a WhatsApp group or a Closed Facebook group/page. So Colleen hasn't posted it publicly. It's the same as someone forwarding on a private text message to a Sun journo.

                                  Right.

                                  I was not aware of the private Instagram.

                                  I stand corrected and chastened.

                                  Ergo, I will bow out of this conversation, as, clearly, I am at fault.

                                  I unreservedly apologise to Ms Rooney, should she be aware of this thread.

                                        It's a valid thread topic given the tabloids' prior history of intrusion and I think perhaps the women are being treated in a sexist manner by this being dismissed as some kind of 'handbags' fight. My only caveat is that the thread ought to be in World because its connection to football is indirect at best.

                                        However, I'm surprised that the Rooneys' domestic affairs would still be newsworthy in this twilight of his career and I'd be even more surprised if the tabloids hacked someone's social media just to get some trivial column filler that could be obtained by easier means.

                                          I'm not surprised by either - the WAG culture still plays very big in certain parts of the media and within that only Victoria Beckham rivals Colleen Rooney for profile. There has been a soap opera played out in the last couple of years around his "behavior" and his move to America, and the pair of them remain big news even if he is shot as a footballer.

                                            Rebekah Vardy reckons someone else has had control of her Instagram account. But if so, who? And why would she need someone to run her insta account for her? How busy is she?

                                              She works in "event management", has done reality TV and was a minor celeb even before yesterday - I'm guessing she at least has an agent, publicist and a PA
                                              .

                                                  But maybe only Vardy's secret account had access to Coleen's secret account? How you like them apples?
