GrahamC Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Not a follower of rugby at all, but I read this morning he said he was physically & verbally assaulted as he made his way home from the Scotland England match. Presumably this means all of those who attended will have to pick up their tickets next year from a service station 50 miles away, all the pubs will be closed off and the police will spend the entire match filming the crowd? I mean, fair’s fair, we wouldn’t want the impression that certain sports are treated totally differently or the fact that you are English in Wales was justification for completely different treatment, would we?

cidered abroad Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Appalling behaviour by those who abused him. It's one thing to be very disappointed when you lose. I am.

MichaelRobartes Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 You get morons following every sport. Jones would probably admit that he's a WUM and loves his pound shop mind games so sadly I'm not surprised that there are idiots who'd want to give him a bit back. It's totally unacceptable though and a shame that the head coach of the England rugby team doesn't want to use public transport any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine it English people had abused the Scotland manager like that. They would have been arrested for sure by now and labelled as fascist.

Robbored Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Problem is that Scotland has always played second fiddle to England in both football and rugby and your average Scot hates that fact. They get fired up and start crowing on the rare occasions that they beat England in either sport and the hostile treatment of Eddie Jones unfortunately reflects that.

shepton red Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 It’s ok for a scottish international, Simon Bergman (not even Scottish) to state that everyone hates the English and Gavin Hastings to state that he wants to rub Eddie Jones nose in the dirt. Their comments are stoking the fire of the anti English feelings that are deemed acceptable by the majority of the media. If the BBC had any guts they would never allow them to work for them again and Bergman should be made to apologise; won’t hppen. Gavin Hastings is an ambassador for Land Rover cars, o wonder what they think of his views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 It annoys me that this is the way rugby is going. You've got players complaining at referees, even calling for cards and feigning head injuries which rarely if ever used to happen. Coaches like Gatland and Jones using pound shop mind games and taking cheap shots at other teams and players in the media and now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
