this thread was started about the thug Hartley and his deliberate actions against The Tullow Tank. I cant remember who brought up Dooley, another thug. So I thought I may as well throw another who sprang to mind, into the mix. Do try and stay on topic.
Maybe Hartley deserves another chance..his 18th ?
Dirty English players, never !! Surely not, I cant fathom it, Really !! Tripe ? Not in a million years. Now thats laughable...
Please feel free to start another thread.
Go dti sin,

He's a dirty player who is English. I don't think it's fair to imply that all English players are dirty or that English rugby is more tolerant of that sort of thing.this thread was started about the thug Hartley and his deliberate actions against The Tullow Tank.

Yet still no mention of any Irish thugs.
Sure they're as pure as the driven snow.
In my neck of the woods rugby supporters are even-handed and not prone to ranting.My Irish chums all agree - I canvassed their opinion from my barstool last night - that the punishment for Hartley's latest indiscretion was about right.
You see far worse watching the Super 14 most weekends.

Imagine if Connacht had been beaten the way Wasps were last week. Do you think we would have been a gracious as Dai Young was?
Incorrect. Read through my posts again.Still not a single mention of any Irish player guilty of the slightest misdemeanour in this " simple online discussion. "
Incorrect. Read through my posts again.
its quite clear that at this stage you are unable for some reason to grasp that this thread was started about Hartley and then for you to bring in a former English player for what purpose again ? You are scraping the very bottom of the barrel here.
On more than 1 occasion, 2 posters have suggested you start a new thread.
I admire your honesty with it becoming embarrassing as you seem unable to comprehend a "simple online discussion"
the thread title is called Goodbye & good riddance Dylan Hartley. I agree with Mathepac that he should be banned because of his complete disregard for rules, the welfare of other players etc. He hasn't reformed. End of.
Your 1st post claims that Rugby is a very forgiving sport...actually please dont explain. In this same post you then dragged another player into it, Alan Quinlan where clearly the title of the thread is not other rugby players . At this point you could have considered another thread but you chose not to stay on topic. Why not ? Actually dont bother, its beyond you clearly.
If Hartley does reform then I will take up playing the sport again. Good job I wont need to take to the field anytime soon.
For some unknown reason your grasp of the English language is very poor and yes you are the one that has dragged other players into it. Not staying on topic, me old china
Should you wish to continue your approach as you have done to date, you will be edging closer to writing your own 500 lines "I must defend Hartley and implicate others and not stay on topic". Hope you practice this in a red and blue line copybook
Come on guys , this claim that the thread should focus solely on Hartley is risible particularly as the opening post also references Courtney Lawes !
PyritePete in his opening post weighs in with Wade Dooley & Delon Armitage - by my reckoning that is 3 additional threads that should have been opened based on the argument raised by both Mathepac & PyritePete.
As an England fan I believe Wahaay is more than entitled to an amount of whataboutery by raising the violent play of Irish players including Sean O'Brien whose 1 game suspension for the off the ball punch on Pape was surely the most ludicrously light of all time.
By the way Wahaay as a soccer man myself I'm a little confused by your cross referencing Rugby & soccer blind fandom - could you elucidate ?

Evidence in point !
That's 2 threads you owe us.
Happy Christmas to all and we look forward to the Six Nations.
Actually it was considered only a mid-level offence and the more I look at the repeat the more I think Hartley mistimed his swinging arm which was intended for the falling O'Brien's back.
