    SOB is 32 and nothing like this has ever happened before

    It was his last game for Leinster, his last game for Ireland, his last game in Ireland and maybe his last game ever because of the injury

    He made a mistake, the guys life was turned upside down in last few months. He had a few too many and apologised afterward

    Get off your high horse

    He has previous form in this regard ,not pissing on someone in a pub but not far from it.

    No need to be making excuses for him ,it was a disgusting act .Because hes leaving his job/moving away isnt a valid reason to do something like that.

    That’s what the press keep telling us but then again this was been tweeted to everyone by the press as it happened....by the same person in the press that tells everyone that the rugby players get away with everything.....

    That particular journalist is the sports equivalent of Gemma O’Doherty. I wouldn’t use him as a rule of thumb for Irish sports journalists in general.

    Jackson doesn't believe she was a 'victim.' It would appear the court didn't either. Whether you/I like it or not.


    It appears you’re clueless as to how our judicial system works. The courts determined nothing one way or the other about the victim. I was talking about their behaviour, and the reason they were disciplined by the IRFU, and the difference between their actions following their behaviour, and that of Sean O Brien following his behaviour. The outcomes were different because the circumstances were different, and that’s why I said to the OP it was a disingenuous comparison to make in the first place - Sean O Brien apologised to his victim, Paddy Jackson didn’t.

    That’s the difference between them and why the IRFU treated them differently. Whether or not you accept that has no bearing on either the facts, nor the outcomes in either case.

    Did he intentionally piss on the guy or was he that out of his mind on beer, that he just took a piss and some poor unfortunate got in the firing line? That's the real question here. I can understand the former but the latter would be taking the piss (pun intended).

    Exactly, but he is the journalist telling everyone the rugby players are up to all sorts and nobody reports it

    He was out if his mind on drink, potentially half or nearly fully naked

    He had no idea what he was doing.....I would question the other lads for not stepping in and getting him out of there

    Don't think he can play the alcohol card here, if he was that bad he would have pissed himself.

    It's not uncommon here I'm the west to have a bunch of knobs dressed like they should be on a golf course on a night out.

    They arrive and they act out the way they wouldn't on their own front door.

    Sipping out of bottles on the wall in Doolin, then throwing them behind their head...
    Then proceed to piss over the wall in front of tourists.

    If I was down there flyfishing I wouldn't be responsible for what I catch when I cast a fly behind me.

    So in effect if his langers in the way the poor unfortunate would get caught in the firing line....

    I've heard, before reading this thread, that he has previous for things like this. The article says "sanctioned", what was the sanction!?

    Why do RTE and Newstalk continue to say "a Leinster player or the player in question" when it known by anybody interested that it is Sean O'Brien ?They were still reporting it this way on Radio this evening long after I read and saw photos of who it was posted online by other media sources.

    How did this actually happen?

    Did he just zip his pants down and start pissing on a stranger at the bar? Drunk or not that's just mind boggling behaviour from a grown man.


    Never heard anything like it in my life.

    Erring very much on the side of caution when it comes to legal advice I'd imagine.

    It happened to a lad in my local a while back. I wasn't there myself to see it but he just started randomly pissing in the middle of the bar one night. There wasn't any malicious in it, nor was he barred - the lad was just on a different planet with drink.

    Some mad pubs you drink in :)

    O’Brien was naked in the pics I saw. Surprised he wasn’t ****ed out before the call of nature came upon him.

    There's a major blind eye turned to the antics of rugby players in Ireland.

    Imagine this was James McClean or Jon Walters. It'd be front page news for days.

    John Terry had previous in the pub/nightclub watersports games but I think he kept it to relieving himself on the carpet rather than humans.

    Theres always being a thing with rugby lads on a night out of who is going to be the best "maddest basta*d" and it still has its place since professionalism but the PR guys are just better at trading stuff with the lads in the press for it.

    I know its bad enough if he done it on one of his friends in the pub but to do it on a stranger in a public place is really really low and is something that I would have a serious problem with if done to me or any of my family.

    I'd have heard of lads pissing on furniture and the like when off their heads but never on another human being.

    Shouldn't be in that kind of state in a public house.

    I don't think anyone can disagree. He's a scumbag if meant to do it and a daft **** if he didn't know where he was. Either way, not a good look for someone with his profile.

    I know they started drinking in the pub they own, not sure if they were still in that pub when it happened.

    Should have relieved himself into a pint glass or potted plant if he knew he wasn’t going to be able to make it to the trough in time.

    Sean O'Brien is getting paid by the IRFU who are sponsored by Diageo. Diageo are hypocrites if they don't cancel their sponsorship.

    Sanctioned = suspended from training.


    Except he's injured. That's exactly what I bet it is!

    Get off my high horse, right, I’ve had some fairly challenging times myself recently but never thought about urinating on anyone. I suppose how ever many number of people have some sort of ‘ending’ to their chosen career must be entitled to assault someone in a disgusting fashion and anyone who might be critical of said behavior is on a ‘high horse’.

    He has my sympathy and good luck to him going forward...it’s worthy of criticism but neither should a mistake define a person, hopefully he can learn from it and onwards and upwards.

    I'm not quite sure how to word this but I'd think very long and hard about changing my local if that's a risk upon entering.

    Maybe we need a poll in this thread: 'Have you ever thought of urinating on another human being?' There seems to be an entire subculture of oddballs on this website for whom this is acceptable behaviour and anybody who doesn't share their twisted view is on a "high horse".
