He'd be crucified Kofi.

Me personally? I don't give a crap what the players do off the pitch. The management and courts can deal with the problems. They aren't mine and none of my business.

From day one Lancaster has made it crystal clear that anyone seeking to represent England needs to adhere to the highest possible standards of behaviour, 24 hours a day. The fact this year’s World Cup will be played out on home turf with unprecedented levels of scrutiny further underscores that point.
Feck - Lancaster sounds like he could easily take over the leadership of North Korea. I wonder what he means by this or rather who sets the standard? Does he have cameras in every player's house just to make sure they are cooperating at all times? :D


That being said Tuilagi is a thug and is rightly dropped by England. The English rugby press are crying about what a loss he is. The Guardian even went as far as to say....
As Leicester Tigers have discovered this season, a team with Tuilagi in it tends to pack far more of a punch than a team without him.
They are correct of course but these days we can do with less punching on the rugby field, even if the recipient is someone like Ashton. :D

Mind you in the wake of this they are reminding folk that he was born in Samoa........
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

I think there would probably be the same range of responses as there is on the Tigers forum. They range from 'sack him' to 'not good, but nothing to do with rugby therefore let him play' or words to that effect.

Think I'd be somewhere in the middle.

Did Roger not attempt to flyingheadbutt the road when they pulled him over and opened the door of his wagon? He could be fined by the DOE if he left a pot-hole.

Well Kofi, being as sanctimonious as the next man, I would suggest he may well have got what he deserved. I know it marks me out a terribly sexist but I would take a dimmer view if the assaulted PSNI officer was a woman. Us children of the 1950s may not have morals but by the sweet feck we have standards.

Calls of racism ... for being given the boot after assaulting a female police officer.

But it's cuz he is black innit

As for an Ulsterman. Sack the twunt

But I'm on record for saying players who act lile twunts on and off the pitch need to be given the boot

Including Hendos flying headbutt

If an Ulster player punched a woman, be she a police officer or not, I would condemn him as pond life. I would be saddened to do so, but as Baggy says we have standards and some things, like this, are simply incontrovertible.

I believe the great leader, Josef Schmidtleovich was racist in leaving out Zebrother in favour of the abysmal Fitzgerald this year and Gingerist in leaving out Ginger Prince to the benefit of Quiff last year. In short he is Provincialist in wanting Mexicans there for the party after others have got him there.

It is a little known fact but true nonetheless, many refuse to confront his appalling behaviour for in the words of the great Robert Zimmerman, "you just want to be on the side that's winning".

Baggy in days gone by assault a police officer and you could end up a short a nut or two or the alternative appearing in court in rags . My da saw a guy getting his suit ripped to pieces in a police station after he swung at a police man .

No questions asked !!

Tuilagi not the fastest centre and if hard early by someone of similar size develops hands with holes .

But if you want a player to make the gain line he can carry about two people that far . . Like most fat guys .
I think he deserves the stick not because he is Black but because unlike his brothers he opted for the English pound rather than turn out for Samoa !!

Rum'n nobody should want to go back to the days when the police were a law unto themselves. Police brutality was a feature of those days and they are not something to hark back to.
