When I was younger plenty of nights would have been like that Dont forget me Joe, im anxious to stop doing something if its leading to Roger jnr going out raping at night Ill repeat as you might have missed it: A boy might take too much alcohol /drugs, and is therefore unable to (reasonably per law!) determine the sex may be nonconsensual. My advice therefore to him would be dont drink , take too much drugs whereby your judgement may be impaired How is that dangerous advice?

I hope Stuart Olding in particular gets to fulfill his potential, in this whole sorry affair, he is the only one who showed genuine regret at what happened, the statement his solicitor read out was handwritten by him, he showed a bit of humility which should be recognised, humility in this case is a very good first step toward ultimate redemption (by maybe returning to the Irish team at some point).

You're all right though Joe, ill spare you having to admit, advising someone not to do that which may have adverse consequences is in fact sterling advice, not "dangerous" as you claimed.

goz83 wrote: » Your use of the word is completely sexist. Paint it any way you like, but a sexist word remains a sexist word. Your denial of this is just more head in sand arrogance. Let me mansplain it properly. Mansplaining is a preferred femisists word used to describe a man explaining something to a woman which she, or another woman takes offense to. More generalised sexism with a sprinkle of patronisation. You needed a man to explain what you were talking about? Even though that man got it wrong I pray you never see the contents of your teenagers phones. I have a teenager and while I consider him to be a well balanced person for his age...(already talking about college and he’s not even sat his jnr cert) I am not naive enough to think he hasn’t been crude with his friends and said things that would be in bad taste. I just skim read the last 20 odd pages, so I might have missed a bit, but I think he is telling her that she doesn’t know them as well as she thinks. Sure, how could she? She’s been on here all day and for all she knows, FrancieBrady could be one of her kids posting in here :pac:

It is this sentence that you use which for me sums up the danger of your position "behaviour s that might lead boys to rape" No girl (or boy for that matter) can engage in behaviour that would lead someone else to rape. That is classic "victim blaming" (I usually detest buzz words but that fits) I'm all for teaching personal responsibility but you are never responsible for the behaviour of someone else. That is not absolutism.

The message is don't think because you play international rugby you have a license to do what you want. The message is don't treat people like dirt. Paddy Pantsdown and his simian mate are learning their lesson the hard way - you still sound like you've a way to go.

If there is a bidding war then the lads have a sporting chance of securing the money they are already on, less their international money, which they will no longer get. If there are only one or two clubs involved then, the lads are not in a strong position...they all have sponsors too. If you think there will be clubs throwing money at them....you should never be left anywhere near the commercial decision making process!!!
joe40 wrote: » I just checked back I did not misquote you. You laid out 3 numbered point and I agreed with all of them. You then talked about "behaviours that might lead boys to rape" That was the dangerous message I was referring to. To both yourself and francie I have consistently said I would give advice especially to my own kids. I just do not like linking advice to specific incidents such as this one. Francie was saying that the lady from the rape crisis centre should have been giving safety advice women at this time.
