Drawf throwing down under.

Believe it or not, the English Team have been snapped in a night club Throwing Dwarfs around, I heard that the Gilbert ball has been behaving differently but is this training method a step too far.
Also Mike Tindall has been snapped with a young lady.
The English press know how to row in behind the team.

I thought midget tossing was something else altogether

top quality reporting as always from the sun.

would have thought the players would be on booze bans during the world cup.

Oh man, this story is funny. Just watch it roll and roll.

I was just listening to Des Cahill & Pat Kenny discussing it there on Kenny's show. Oh the awkwardness.

Rugby players on tour shocker :rolleyes:

Anyone have a link for the original article? I tried finding it on their website but it hurts my eyes.

Edit: Never mind, googling 'dwarf throwing england rugby' brings up plenty

Throwing dwarves and motorboating some large chested blonde. A month after marrying into the royal family. You couldn't make it up!!!

I taught all rugby players were committed down, hard working and down to earth lads:p

By all accounts, they have.

Staff members at the bar in question have portrayed a very different picture on the BBC website, and given the sun's past reputation when it comes to England teams at world cups, I know who I believe.

WeeBushy · 15-09-2011 11:22am

Oh, there's no way its true. Its definitely typical Sun taking a picture out of context sprinkled with a liberal amount of lying for the sake of a sensational story. They may have been out having a couple of beers (only talking point here), but the Sun have defo blown it way out of proportion.

Still pretty funny, however!

onlyrocknroll · 15-09-2011 11:44am

I haven't seen the Sun's version of events, and I don't think I'll bother looking at it.

The Guardian paints a very different picture of events. Apparently they went out with management's permission, had a few (too many?) drinks and posed for some photos. Locals directly contradict the "dwarf throwing" allegation. There was a little person there, I haven't seen any evidence that he was being thrown about. Nothing more than predictable sensationalism from the tabloids IMO.

Oh I never believed it was true. But I did think the story was bloody hilarious!

If only Stringer could be worked into it somehow

No1J · 15-09-2011 12:58pm

I first saw the story in the New Zealand Herald this morning and thought it was gas.
I am sure it's a bit OTT but the bar was hosting a "Mad Midget Weekender" and the bar manager had Midget Racing and other games, when asked about the Midget throwing he said no " that's not cool":cool:
Mike Tindall MBE has a bit of a fondness for the booze currently serving a 3 year driving ban as it was his 2nd offence, really should have known better
MJ has man management issues.

durkadurka · 15-09-2011 1:11pm

Im torn between the Irish press's tendency to completely ignore when the Irish players go out on the tear and do something regrettable (I'm not talking about any incident in particular), and the English press's seemingly self destruct mentality when they try to derail the team, with a story such as this in the middle of the world cup.

Non story, don't they always throw short at the line out?

No1J · 15-09-2011 1:32pm

MJ is so simplistic that I wouldn't be surprised if he had set this up so as to pull the team together, Siege mentality,"We'll show the baskets".
Hope I'm wrong, Wan't to see some Midgets flying around, Lineout calls, "Ball coming in now", skip passes etc, must keep an eye on You tube.:)

.ak · 15-09-2011 1:40pm

Ah sure the Irish team got pissed and went paintballin at midnight - in the nude!

Guy:Incognito · 15-09-2011 3:46pm

Heroes every one.

This tops driving a golf cart on a motorway too.:)

if they had one of the drawfs in the golf cart with them it would top it

I see Sky News got a hold of some footage of Mike being a bit friendly with a young lady, I'd say he got an earful from back home.
Still no sign of the little fellas yet.:(
