Armitage dropped from Saxons following arrest

First topic message reminder :

Just heard this on the 5Live news. Arrested for assault apparently. Man has major issues.

If it was this one incident I suspect that he would be given the benefit of the doubt but there have been a number of incidents both on and off the pitch. One I have cause to remember is an accusation of racism against an Uslter player. A case that was dismissed as being without foundation.

He should not be any whare near the England Saxons-England squad untill this as been sorted out properly.

He is inocent untill proven guilty, or so they say. but in his case this is not the first time he as done somethink on a simalar scale.

Untill he can prove he is worthy of wearing the England shirt, Just like Danny Care then he should be out from all forms of international duty.

There seems to be a lot of blokes on here who are only too keen to put the boot in. I suspect they all have previous in the school playground.

Guscott, Barkley and probably others have had similar but seemed to be proven innocent at a later date.

Its a good job the welshies including PSBW aren't in the legal business. We'd have a set of gallows on every corner.

Barkley, completely forgot about him! Perfect example of a Bath player I can't stand, because of his arrogance and attitude. He 'allegedly' kicked the c rap out of someone at Matt Perry's wedding. He certainly did come on to my mate at the uni bar and she certainly did draw a man sausage on his forehead with permanent marker, still a very fond memory. Classic!

Hmmm the IRB's record in kicking racism out of rugby is not good. There have been a number of incidents like this taht havent been adressed properly by the lords and masters of rugby based in Dublin.

yeah but he did go to court on that and got acquitted, so its more a case of if he did kick the cr@p out of someone then it wasnt considered a criminal offence. Kind of like when Stevie G hit that DJ repeatedly because hed seen his friend hit him and assumed he might get attacked.
Bath players seem to have a history of this dont they, beating up Stan Collymore then doing coke and getting in a fight with Quins more recently.
Its not just Ospreys parties!

He was also thoroughly gash at Murrayfield v Edinburgh last week. I suppose he is just joining his International country colleagues' shameful behaviour recently.

Thanks for reminding us of that incident, definitely not one of our proudest moments.

Anyone remember how the SKY sports boys kicked off when he wasn't selected for the Lions?
And Tom Croft!

Both have proven how unbelievably overrated they were and Armitage has show what a lot said years ago, he is an arrogant prat.

Anyone remember when the BBC had his Mum and Dad in before the first game he and his brother played for England in the Six Nations?
I bet his parents are so proud.

Perhaps if England stuck to picking English players things might improve.Mind you,was Cipriani English?

ciprani went to my local school- so yeah english as they come or at least need to come

As it happens it was Mr Grewcock who put Collymore under manners, exemplary behaviour if you ask me.

has anyone ever noticed why there are so many posts on 606v2 rugby union boards- its like its full of sad obese middleaged chav women bitching about what england players are getting up to.

i only care about what they do on the pitch, if he is good enough pick him, if he isnt - dont!

Actually as I'm in Canada I've not quite had all day given the time difference.

You've had at least a whole Canadian morning then in that case. No excuses.

Given the time I deserve at least a C-

Had you have thought of it yourself, then you may have warranted a C-, but you have copied another students work, you are lucky you are not being expelled!

There goes my average. I'll never get the grades now!

usually is, thank the media for that!

why bring this back up- blimey

only reporting the news myst.

Not worth a whole new article is it?

So I picked up an old one.

Allright lol- annoyed about being reminded of going abit ott last time i come on dis thread, But still had enough of the constant moaning about sportsmans off field antics..

Is the reason that he is was not interested in the England Saxons, because he is going to Toulon at the end of the season?

Watching some French rugby the other the other day Toulon v ??? Cannot remember who they was playing, but he said that Dillon and his brother will be joing Stephen at Toulon at the end of the season, 3 brothers all playing for the same team.

If that is the case then good bye and dont come back untill you can respect the England shirt.

Metro madge. And it was a good game.

but as for the "good bye and dont come back untill you can respect the England shirt" I'd agree except change 'respect' for 'deserve and earned'.

Portnoy

I totaly agree with that. He should have too earn, and deserve to wear the shirt.

How can you seriously say that madge?an england shirt doesn't require respect to earn it all you need to do to earn an England shirt play in the Aviva for a few years and get some hype around your name regardless of what country you come from.
Hardly respect more like a laughing stock.

Totally unpredictable post alert!!!

yes... his ability to see beyond the sterotypical is amazing......

All will be forgiven if he can have a word with bro Steffon and get him to come back, I've seen bits of a few Toloun games and Steffon Armitage has been excellent in all of them. Lancaster needs to get his number and have a word with the big guy.
