    Shameful Rugby Supporters in Kilts

    Again, drunken rugby supporters shamed all kilt wearers when one totally disrobed on live TV in Wales before the Wales v Scotland rugby six nations international.
    Apparently this individual was also a pall bearer, the previous week at the funeral of Rugby commentating legend Bill McLaren.
    Although drink was the major factor here, its always amazing that some individuals in kilts seem to think that it is necessary to either lift their kilt or in this case strip naked.
    I hate to be associated with these type of kilt wearers

    I think the key word here is drunken rugby supporters. Once a certain level of intoxication has been reached then it matters not whether the 'supporter' is wearing trousers or a kilt or in this case nothing at all.

    So they still admit drunken rugby supporters into grounds and stadia while football supporters are rigorously searched for drink and refused admittance to matches ?

    Interesting. Must be a middle-class morality thang.

    You are of course dead right there Chas, the trouble is that THIS drunken supporter was wearing the kilt which does reflect on Scotland and does us no favours.

    This is the story as reported by The Sun:

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...elevision.html

    A RUGBY player who was a pallbearer at legendary commentator Bill McLaren's funeral faces a police grilling after exposing himself on live TV.

    Keith Davies, 21, dropped his kilt on BBC's Wales Today in the run-up to Saturday's Wales-Scotland Six Nations match.
    He and pals from Hawick Rugby Club had been picked to represent Scotland in the broadcast from Glynneath - but Keith got carried away.
    The stunt caused 57 complaints to the BBC.
    South Wales Police said they were investigating the incident.

    You may remember that last year Poland tried to ban kilts in the streets due to drunken and flashing Scots and not just in connection with football. Some segments of Scots seem to be drawn by low prices in Poland and unfortunately they bring their kilts with them, meaning that I as a (Danish) tourist should probably not think of wearing a kilt in Warsaw; or better, I go to places where these guys have not (yet) disgraced kilt wearing (and their country) and leaving us non-Scots with a burden/bad image.

    Sadly, his actions were probably consistent with his peers' notion of acceptable behavior. You can't blame it on the use of alcohol. A few drinks are only an excuse.

    and yet another disgrace

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/8515002.stm

    I must admit in my semi pro days of playing rugby, we never ever sang sexually bawdy songs, got drunk and made fools of ourselves, neither did we do anything reckless ........................ who am I kidding, back then it was all part of the game, seems like this modern very PC time now frowns on a bit of drunken revelry, and perhaps quite rightly so, I am just glad I had my time when the world wasn't so PC

    No they do not.
