No one berates footballers for the vast amount of money they can earn in the Premiership, or expect them to be any more charitable than anyone else. Although they do probably keep the luxury retail market bouyant.
Off to kiss the Blarney stone, and see if I can sign up for a tour of trailer parks now.

the problem i have with geldof is that the scruffy jumped up git comes on TV demanding us poorer folk dig deep in our pockets and give money to HIS choice of charity but makes thousands off the back of charity for himself
i am willing to bet all the money i have he has made more money from or off the back off charity than what he ever made from his pop career
people only pay to listen to him because he is famouse for doing live aid and live 8 and i dare say no one ever books him because of his music
its all well saying he has a family to support but if i can support a family on my meezly income ime pretty sure somone with millions in the bank can manage just fine of teh interest alone and not go without food cloths or shelter
i agree that footballers get paid too much for kicking a ball around a field but they dont go preeching that we should be giving our money away to charities and their careers are short lived so they got to make all the money they can while they can before they get too old to play football or get injured badly and cant play ever again
lets face it after football the only thing beckham will be good for is been a door wedge
