Usual Rugby/GAA versus soccer double standards!

Time to bring sexy back....

This story broke over weekend about 2 Irish rugby internationals having an alleged threesome with a girl they met in a Dublin chipper....
All very congratulatory and easy on internationals in question, in fact some reports are more critical on girl in question than anything else...
Imagine if two Irish soccer internationals had the whiff of such shenanigans about them... it'd be "immoral footballers" and "national scandal" trust me!

Similarly Wexford GAA star Greg Jacob got a eh.... "easy ride" from the media when his sex tape with porn actress Tanya Tate (I think that's her name, obviously I'd never stray off the wholesome websites like foot.ie) was released a few years back...

I get the distinct impression the night, as described, was to inevitably end with a sexual romp. The 'unplanned rendezvous' merely added an experimental female component.

There have been lots of these incidences with footballers and they've gotten an easy ride from the media and the "football community". Sure there've been numerous incidences where the ****wits in question have taped it and sent it to their mates with predictable results. Fact is, in our society, lads who have gangbangs are slapped on the back and people say "good on ya boyos" and women who have them are called sluts. Cos, you know, good girls don't like sex. Personally, I'd find any sort of gangbang sordid but whatever floats your boat. Once the girl didn't feel coerced.

I don't think it comes down to football players being treated any differently. It comes down to who the players are as much as anything. The Irish team under Jack got away with all kinds of shenanigans because they were national heroes. The football team now wouldn't get away with much, because they aren't considered in the same esteem. Peaople would laugh if say Aldo and Kevin Moran were pictured on the lash 3 days before a big game. If James McCarthy and Sean St ledger did that, there would be uproar.

I lived in Liverpool in the 80s and the drinking exploits of the Everton and Liverpool players were legendary. The locals didn't care because they were great teams that were winning trophies. Meanwhile, the Arsenal and United teams of that era got a name for being very heavy drinkers, when in reality, they were probably no different to Liverpool or Everton.

To be fair, the Sunday Indo had a thing about the rugby lads and it was on a couple of radio shows yesterday.

No one should care though. 3 adults doing what they want.

Rugby players finally move on from merely singing boorish songs about gang bangs!

The girl being a midget though makes it a little strange i guess.

It just redefines the first part of 'crouch, touch, pause, engage', Crosby...

Ah get with it, that call was changed a couple of seasons ago. It's now: Crouch, Touch, Set... your clothes on the ground you sexy minx and let half the team do you.

Anyway, I think the footballers get a harder time because some of the time these encounters end up being a rape case and that tends to tar the whole group as a bunch of sexual deviants, rather than just the players involved.
