Another sport ruined by Jones.
That the same Jones who wanted to be the next Lions coach?
Bloody good that, Magners £10 for 20 cans.
Won't somebody please think of the children.
Who cares if he thinks the Irish are scummy and Wales is shit.
The Welsh and the Irish players in the Lions squad probably won't be too pleasedQuote:

Personally I didn't find the comment about Wales too offensive, or should I say I didnt take it personally. If he doesn't like Wales thats his issue but I suspect he was just after a cheap laugh. The Irish comment was worse but in the same category - trying to ingratiate himself with the crowd he was addressing. The comments were inadvisable and unbefitting of someone in his position but not a case for an international incident.
What does get me is the fact that he was whinging and crying a few weeks ago about being approached by people who made his train journey unpleasant. From what I saw there were a few pissed up clowns being a nuisance but he cant have it both ways. If he's going to bait the fans of other countries then he must reap what he sows.
He strikes me as a bit of a clown and I hope the Irish management play that clip in their dressing room before the rugby match on Saturday.

I have become quite good at giving some back - but it isn't all 'banter'. There is also plain bigotry and prejudice - low level and in pockets, but real.Quote:

I had no sympathy for Jones when he received a bit of aggro following the Scotland game. He is a gobby little troll. You reap what you sow.
Good luck Ireland. I think you will stuff England
This exactly, that was pathetic.Quote:
