Paul Collingwood caught in lap dancing bar

[Simbazz]

Nah, for an early start they would, but for evening games they'd probably only get up at around 10/11 am.

Obviously, no one would know full stop, but id still say 7am, or atleast id expect it

Either way, thats a differnt topic, still, stupid from Collingwood, but as i said, would Ponting get this amount of negetive looks?

There is no way you can back him as he has already accepted his mistake. It's Plain Wrong that way.

Usy, hes our captain, hes our countries captain.

Now us English people may not be overly patriotic, but can we not back out country captain?

He's accepted his mistake because that's the media friendly way to deal with things and make sure everything is hunky dory. I don't think he made a mistake at all. When you look at how Akhtar and Asif went unpunished for taking drugs (i'm sorry to bring that up again) yet Collingwood gets fined for having a social life outside of cricket then it really makes you wonder about justice.

Probably not because the Aussie media aren't twats like their English counterparts.

Well if someone is wrong no matter if he is Countries President, he is wrong, I did'nt say anything to no English fan man.

Everybody is "patriotic" about their countries does'nt mean we ignore mistakes like this, yes we forgive them.

I think Not Playing World Cup was their biggest Punishment.

 

[legspinner@fred]

But they apprently had 'injuries'.
Thats not punishment.

Nothing wrong with what Collingwood did, he wasn't in the ocan in the early hours, he was in what was effectively a bar having 1 beer.

 

[evertonfan]

Did they get fined? No. Did they get banned? No.

Therefore = No punishment.

We have pesimistic writers who consider one drink as a sign of the apocalypse.(Put that spelling in a paper)

I'm off to read the daily mail, apprently we're all going to die again.

All I can say is it's a game of Cricket, and life is not fair, : there have been other unfair things to some Pakistani players in Past.

 

[evertonfan]

What, like escaping bans for being drug users? Yeah that's unfair...

 

[legspinner@fred]

Lets list them.

i'm not talking about Asif and Akhtar.

 

[evertonfan]

Well who are you talking about then? I'd love a few examples.

 

[usy]

Lets list them.

1. The forum topic is different
2. i'm not waisting my time argueing with you, i'd rather do my homework

I appreciate that much.

What's all the fuss about he went in an bar for a drink then realised he shouldn't have been there so he left.Storm in a teacup IMO.
