    Collingwood’s £1000 lap dance

    By Will last year, mid-September Leave a comment on this post

    Excellent news. Of course, the £1000 fine has probably levelled his mood just a little, but I’m all for “professional sportsmen”, - as they insist they are called - getting caught having fun. It makes our jobs so much more fun.

    PS: and tonight, Andrew Flintoff is being interviewed by Piers Morgan (I think) on Pedalo Gate. A nice irony.

    Honestly, it is an issue for the wife.

    His biggest punishment will be behind closed doors…the public should leave him to that. The man must be much contrite by now.

    If it hadn’t been a pre-match night, maybe he wouldn’t have been fined either. Same goes for Freddie. Maybe that’s where the public gets a word in.

    At least England show they are enjoying themselves at these affairs. It is supposed to be only sport, isn’t it?

    Why haven’t they come up with a name for this one like Boobygate or Tittygate or something? I ask you…The standard of journalism in this country is getting worse…

    I agree with Soulberry. As a married man there are probably things you should avoid doing. If he were single and out with the boys I wouldn’t think twice about the bloke out having a good time.

    Just seems unprofessional to me, clubbing the night before an international match. Seems to sum up England’s attitude, really - that they’re at these tournaments to have fun, not win. I guess if the ECB keeps them on contract and supports this, that’s fine, but I would have thought it would piss their fans off, somewhat.
