Imagine if a footballer did this? 10:24 - Jul 30 with 2799 viewsJJJack

I imagine there'd be an outcry. Rugby is full of overpaid yobs. Footballers are no saints of course but the amount of time i hear people say "you'd never hear of a rugby player doing that" really, really does my head in.

Hmm, not quite in the same category as Ched Evans or Maroln King is it? There seemed to be a bit of a fuss with them from memory.

I agree .....

Although ' Dane Bowers watched from the window' makes him sound a bit of a wimp.

Cant imagine many men just watching as their partners are getting assaulted by an ex boyfriend.

Why pick on the examples of 2 pretty extreme cases then? You've just proved my point. Of course there was a fuss over what they did. A massive fuss. What abouyt what Luke McCormick the other day on here and compare with the "high jinks" from Andy Powell driving a golf cart the wrong way down the M4 whilst steaming. There's virtually no difference except the former tragically ended up hitting another car and killing people.

Have you seen the size on Ian Gough? Maybe he could have shouted "leave her alone " out the window or maybe he doesn't like her that much.

We shouldn't all be tarred with the same brush you know!

That's a pretty huge difference, not killing someone. How can you compare that. If I carried a gun and shot at targets in public, is that as bad as shooting at people?
Its the difference between reckless endangerment and attempted murder!
McCormick and Powell were both grade A tw@ts, but Powell only hurt his career and his reputation.

But that's my point exactly (perhaps I didn't explain it properly). I don't see people having a pop at Powell on here though McCormick got (rightly or wrongly) slaughtered on here.

Powell has been subsequently feted as a "national hero" for his performances since the incident. When he should have been in jail IMO.

Being a Rugby player has been a licence to be an aggressive, arrogant tw*t in Wales for years. Nothing new about this.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Yep, 6'5" and approx. 19 stone. Wouldn't have given the podgy ex-boy band singer much of a chance ... probably took the right option if Gough was kicking off.

Can't condone this type of behaviour, but this is a long way from a sexual offence or manslaughter !

C'mon Bony shoot !!!!

Innit. Drug-fuelled louts the lot of them. If footballers took as many performance-enhancing drugs as rugby stars there'd be a media meltdown.

He's since acted up the big man in shepherd's bush and took a bit of a kicking. He really is a complete tw@t

Seriously you're wrong J,there was plenty said about Powell in the other site before we moved here.

It hardly proves your point though does it?

You can find good and bad examples of footballers and rugby players and both sides of that short sighted debate can find examples of overpaid yobs playing rugby or overpaid prima donnas who play football whilst conveniently ignoring the vast majority of talented, hard working individuals who play both sports.

Gough, Evans and King's crimes were all unacceptable in any decent society, but are not limited to footballers or rugby players.

You original post simply smacked of point scoring- acceptable against that individual but not against the rugby community as a whole.

Same as the "rugby fans aren't hooligans like football fans" thing the media likes to perpetuate, when you just have to visit any town or city the night of a 6 nations game and there's carnage with people fighting everywhere.

Isn't there also a big spike in domestic violence in Wales during the 6 nations? Or is that an urban myth?
