Gentlemen like those rugby players who raped that girl in Ireland? Gentlemen like my university rugby team who used to smash up the union bar and sing songs about hating poor people? Gentlemen like the drunk rugby fans pissing on the trains and platforms at Twickenham Station? Gentlemen like the rugby fans who get arrested for fighting in my local pub every Six Nations? Yeah, real gentleman.
@@Leifr952i wouldn't class many of the fans at 6 nations games as proper rugby supporters, they all come out of the woodwork at that time of year and a lot of them are frankly an embarrassment to the people who go to club games week on week out.
@@matthewlaw7533 Yeah, they are pretty insufferable. There is often trouble during the 6 Nations at my local pub, which is suddenly filled with pompous, drunken bores mouthing off and acting all superior.
My dad tells me a story about Martin. My uncle knew a guy who played rugby, his team was playing against Martin bayfield’s old team and Martin had returned after finishing his international career. My uncles friend said “I’m gonna make an impression on this guy, just because he’s ex England doesn’t mean we’ll give him an easy time” so when Martin was in a ruck this guy decided to run at him really hard and clatter into him. Martin, having been nutted in the head by this guys shoulder, said “I’ll see you in the second half” and apparently when he was tackled, my uncle’s friend described it as *agricultural* Tl;dr Martin bayfield crunched my uncles friend after he fouled him
seem to remember the said Mr Bayfield, all 6' 10" of him being knocked out with one punch from an 18yr old Argentinian hooker named Mendez......Martin didn't ask for him to not get sent off!! In addition, spent an evening with Wade Dooley after an international 10's competition in Hong Kong.....just class!!!
FIVE POLICE INTERNATIONALS....SURPRISE SURPRISE......MARTIN PORTRAYS HIMSELF........AS A TRUE GENT.....UP FOR A LOT OF SKYLARKIING......THOSE WERE THE DAYS WHEN YOU COULD ENJOY A LOT OF BANTER AFTER CONSUMING 8 PINTS OF BITTER.....
"The nation's second sport, football"....Rugby's inferiority complex with football is absolutely staggering. And joking about smashing up nightclubs - so this sort of behaviour is acceptable when committed by rugby players? Why? Not quite as gentlemanly as they make themselves out to be, are they?
I think it's called "irony". Everything about rugby is inclusive and peaceful, despite being a harsh contact sport. When was the last time "football fans" wrecked a pub / street / someone's bar in the UK or abroad? Almost every week. When was the last time you heard about "rugby violence" amongst players or fans? Martin after-dinner speech is based on irony. Come and meet some rugby fans. Bring your family. They will be entirely safe and have a great day. Try doing that (even today) in the midst of a football (soccer) derby. Actually.... don't. Just in case.
@@SedleighAdams I'd give up if I were you. Leifr952 is clearly a dedicated football fan but you've hit him with 'irony' which has not one, not two but THREE syllables.
@@robbyc0 Was already aware of the three syllables in the word 'irony', but thanks. If you're implying that I'm thick because I like football then all you are doing is providing yet another example of a rugby fan exposing their sport's inferiority complex.
@@captainroger I think you mean 'woofder' not 'woofders' ; there's only one of me. If you're going to insult me then at least learn how to speak English properly first. So, disliking rugby makes me a 'woofders'? Typical rugby fan response that. It's worrying how quickly rugby fans resort to homophobia to try and win their arguments, which is ironic for a sport with such homoerotic undertones.
Trained quite a lot with Martin at Bedford, not the best player, but certainly dedicated and a nice guy. Also did a great job in the Harry Potter movies.
Beckham was sent off because he kicked out at DS ..you are not allowed to do it .. its a foul play...Rugby is crap the numbers who follow each sport tells you all you need to know
Dooley’s comment to the ref!? GOLD!!!😂
What a fantastic speech, so funny and brilliantly delivered by Bayfield. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣🤣🤣🤣
"And his Alice band fell out of his hair" - brilliant
Then the Cockerill line...love it
Terrific loved this.
It's a glorious game played by gentlemen

I enjoy listening to these stories, well told by brutes.
Legend
How far has England rugby declined in the 90s, and up to 2002 great team and great players
RUGBY - An animals game, played by GENTLEMEN
The story about Dooley was stolen from Vince Karalius playing for Warrington. Now he was hard.

That was Paul Accord, not Bayfield

Literally was one of the best players due to being selected for England!
@@samthomson9365 incorrect, one of the hardest working certainly but not one of the best. even at Bedford he wasn't the best IMHO.

Beckham shouldn’t even have been yellow carded, hardly touched the bloke.
Point is footballers are 100% pussies
