Why is there a guy in drag standing next to Warburton?

by tigerleghorn Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:47 am

I'm sure some will find it disgraceful given "Ferrygate" and other misdemeanours but anyone ripping it out of a politician is ok by me.

To be fair, he thought it was Prince Albert.

The guy lacks maturity and any sense of responsibility. His performance lately has also been underwhelming with lots of us asking why he's there at all. Tuilagi on the other hand is just a kid having a bit of fun...... Wink

Anyway - it's far more concerning that the "Geezer" from the BetVictor advert snuck in at the back !

by Scrumpy Tue Sep 17, 2013 9:23 am

The blokes an idiot so why does anyone care!

If we had any sense we would get someone more talented into that position as soon as possible, as it's clear he doesn't have a clue.

Just call me Dave! 'what a plonker' thumbsup

I'd much rather see Manu emulate the episode with Chris Ashton to Cameron but hey who's complaining, rabbit ears will have to do. Nice one son!!!!!!
(No I am not Manu's dad)

I don't think Lancaster will see the funny side of it which might not help Manus case at all.

by The Saint Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:08 am

Going by what I've seen so far I thought Manu was a fairly decent player. Now, I think he's a bloody brilliant player.

by gregortree Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:11 am

Don't blame Manu, he is very young & suggestible.
Vince Cable made him do it.

As a former public schoolboy, I'm sure he's accustomed to taking a couple of fingers off one of the 'rugger chaps'.

Good lad Manu. We were all hoping one of them would play a prank on Cameron.

I was hoping Corbs, Adam and the Hairdresser would show him what they did to the Aussie front row.

by madmaccas Tue Sep 17, 2013 1:38 pm

Meh, only confirms that modern pro players aren't very funny. You just need to follow them on twitter (if you can stand it) to see that most of the players don't have a brain cell between them. It's all Nandos and budgie smugglers - meh.

by majesticimperialman Tue Sep 17, 2013 6:56 pm

Well done that manu.

by Casartelli Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:03 pm

Time for everyone to calm down - Tuilagi is writing a letter of apology, in crayon, to the PM, as confirmed by the BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/24121653

Let's move on, people.

by DeludedOptimistorjustDave Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:16 pm

Surely nothing less than a life time ban would suffice.

Like Cameron or not he is the Prime Minister and he should be shown respect, could you see an American doing that to Obama?
I absolutely hate the whole farce that is the royal family but when i was doing some security work Prince Charles approached me and my colleague and thanked us with a hand shake, i give a nod, shook his hand and thanked him back with a smile,
didn't really want to but if you are brought up properly and have some self respect you do the right thing.

Manu has shown he is extremely juvenile and has no regard for authority, it raises eyebrows over what goes on in Leicester and the England camp if players KEEP yes KEEP on being prats!
Lancaster and Cockerill tell us one thing but the players actions say another.

by DeludedOptimistorjustDave Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:18 pm

Manu was doing the bunny ears behind Daniel Craig in the Lions dressing room.

by DeludedOptimistorjustDave Tue Sep 17, 2013 7:21 pm

Then we look at the political ramifications of this it is huge, Cameron is already being made to look a Fool by Putin and Obama,
all the talk of a small Island then a sports star goes and makes him look a fool on the World stage!

A sports star makes Cameron look a fool on the world stage?

I thought he did that all by him self.

Check out the picture of the cricket players, now that's juvenile, having some fun at the prime minister's expense that's a hero.

"Manu has shown he is extremely juvenile and has no regard for authority, it raises eyebrows over what goes on in Leicester and the England camp if players KEEP yes KEEP on being prats! Lancaster and Cockerill tell us one thing but the players actions say another."

Yep the guy who supports local charities, spends time after games/A league games signing autographs and posing for pictures and, has been known to give fans lifts to games is definitely immature. All at 21 as well. It's called liking to live a little, not everyone is the teetotal robot Warburton you know.

How Warburton lives his life is fine. He is not the one in the papers for bad reasons. Im only interested in what he does on the pitch. Even my 10 year old nephew has got bored of photo bombing. Shame Tuilagi keeps doing this childish and repetitive crap

At 21 i was engaged to be married "12 years this year Very Happy

" helped build several community places overseas for the less fortunate "all voluntary" and showed the up most respect for figures of authority.
Can i have a ribbon off you too? or have you give them all to Manu?

Admit it he is a prat and all the kind loving things he does would be required by his club any way! part of his contract.

by Steffan Tue Sep 17, 2013 10:10 pm

When I was 21 years old I was doing lots of silly things

However my ability to have a photo taken with fellow grown adults for nice memories without looking like a prat and spoiling the photo wasnt too bad if I remember...

by DeludedOptimistorjustDave Tue Sep 17, 2013 10:24 pm

Well put it this way if i was having dinner at number 10 i would be on best behavior!
Kind opens up that can of worms that was mentioned when Manu was selected for England, he clearly don't feel that English by his behavior.
Perhaps he was mocking Cameron over the fact he avoided deportation?

by tigerleghorn Tue Sep 17, 2013 10:46 pm

Steffan and Dave, lighten up guys or are you pitching for the post of board "Mary Whitehouse"?

by Hood83 Tue Sep 17, 2013 10:50 pm

Not a great wit our Manu, but in this case good on him! if anything this sort of thing should be treated as the PR puff it is and dealt with a touch of levity.

Deluded, never had you down as a servile, brown-noser...

by Breadvan Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:01 pm

What a load of overblown crap. If was any over member if the squad, you'd be laughing your heads off. High jinks, jokes, messing around. Ffs, it was a laugh! No big uproar over the ashes squad phishing over the number 10 prize azalea's! Big fuss over nowt...

Never! Lets remember Warburton was pretty much accused of attempted murder when he tackled Clerc.
