Australian Politics Forum - Symonds drunken sex scandal

Amadd Gold Member Offline Mo Posts: 6217	Symonds drunken sex scandal Jun 5^th, 2009 at 9:01am Just kidding, but it looks like the end of the line for Symonds. Poor bugger will now just have to make a fortune out of being a mercenary cricketer without all of the pressures of international cricket.

Lol yeah, that's one for the Indian papers.

I suppose so, but I don't really know what he's done this time.
Apparently he had a couple of drinks at a function but was fine when he left. So whatever happened was on the bus or at the hotel where they were staying.
But you don't really need to do that much to be offside with the ACB anyway - just being a Victorian is sometimes enough. Years ago they denied the public the opportunity to watch the "Jones boy".

I understand that those couple of drinks alone sent him home, but there could be more.

So terrible that you repeated it. You only have to scroll up a few inches.

I'm so glad I have given you and Aussie something to agree on. You're not DT by any chance are you Oceans?

He's crowing about being a bashing thug and you're both too precious by half at a bit of a piss take. I never understood the monkey/racial slur and am convinced that it was all a load of hyped up BS by the Aussie cricket team to throw their opponents on the back foot.

Symonds is about the only cricketer that I have any knowledge or slight admiration of. Afterall he'd rather be fishing than playing that stupid game.

Look while your in a dobbing kind of mood maybe you could pass this on to Matty John's solicitors.

Oceans Quote:

Aussie men rape and batter women, they are not without guilt..

Matty Johns and his pals raped this girl..there is no doubt.

Matty Johns deserves what he got and more

Did they..? That must have been the sensible lot then hey? Was it in context? How so? Sounds like just plan slander really.

How is it racist? What race is he? A good percentage of my relatives have his deep olive skin. They are Italian. What race are Italians Oceanz.

Are you implying that monkey references can be directed at a race? That's just stupid. I've argued here against such things. Therein lies part of the gag.

Look, while I have never seen a hint of racist attitude from Locutius, and believe he had no racist intention with his post, I consider it to be a bad judgement call on his behalf, because very many would see it as racist.

That is why I moved it here, to the Drug Policy Board, where his alcohol related issues can be further debated, if people want to, but we do not want the Main Forum Boards to have any racist content, even if it is unintentional.
