Webbo Posted 2 May 2015 Posted 2 May 2015 I gave an estimate to redecorate the outside of the building there a couple of years ago. Now I know why they didn't go ahead.

davieG Posted 15 May 2015 Author Posted 15 May 2015 Manu Tuilagi admits assaulting police officer 5 minutes ago From the sectionLeicester Manu Tuilagi has played for England since 2011England rugby player Manu Tuilagi will not play in this year's World Cup after admitting assaulting a police officer, head coach Stuart Lancaster has said. Tuilagi, 23, who plays for Leicester Tigers, was fined £6,205 when he appeared before magistrates. He had been charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer, assault by beating and causing criminal damage, the Crown Prosecution Service said. Lancaster said he would not be considered for England until 2016. The court heard Tuilagi assaulted the officer in the early hours of 26 April. He had missed most of the season after suffering a groin injury but had hoped to return to the national side. 'Role model'"As role models and ambassadors for the game, the highest standards of behaviour are expected from every England player both on and off the field," Lancaster said. "Having spoken to Manu, he understands and accepts both the seriousness of the offences to which he has pleaded guilty and the consequences of his behaviour to his club, country and the game as a whole." Tuilagi's misdemeanours Tuilagi was warned by police and fined £3,000 by England rugby officials for jumping from a ferry in Auckland in 2011 during the World Cup He was fined £4,800 by the International Rugby Board for wearing an unapproved mouthguard carrying the name of a sponsor The Leicester centre was also banned for five weeks in May 2011 for punching Northampton's Chris Ashton Tuilagi said: "I take full responsibility for my actions and unreservedly apologise to all those involved in the incident, Leicester Tigers and England. "It is something I deeply regret and I totally accept the sentence given by the court. The club and Stuart have been very supportive and I understand their sanctions too. "I know, as an England player, the need to conduct myself as a good role model for the game. I am very disappointed because my actions have let so many people down and I can only hope for a future chance to prove myself again."
Super_horns Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 Very strong punishment isn't it - certainty letting others know what happens if they step out of line! Not the first time for him either - and he is injury prone it seems anyway so maybe not going to be picked anyway?
Jaspa Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 So its not only a poor temperament, its a lack of intelligence I only care abit cause the WC is coming up
Finnegan Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 What a pratt. And oh look, Bert has a chip on his shoulder again. But don't worry, he'll just claim he was fishing when you call him on it.
Guest Posted 18 May 2015 Posted 18 May 2015 Such a shame. Really wanted to see him in the World cup again. Maybe Lancaster was worried about too much wealth and having to leave someone out at that position.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 19 May 2015 Posted 19 May 2015 Never mess with Manu! Better keep your head down Bert.
Leicfox Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 It should be a cracking game today Vs Bath. I'll probably give this a watch instead of the League 2 play-off final.
Finnegan Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 Never mess with Manu! Better keep your head down Bert. Bert isn't a WPC, he's probably safe.
Tielemans63 Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 Well that was embarrassing. Bath had 8 visits and scored 7 tries. Tigers couldn't score in a brothel.
Bert Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 What a pratt. And oh look, Bert has a chip on his shoulder again. But don't worry, he'll just claim he was fishing when you call him on it. That's what people say though? Dread to think the reaction if it was a footballer! Just look at how people have reacted to simpson! Loads saying get rid but no not a holier than thou rugby player lol
marko Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 That's what people say though? Dread to think the reaction if it was a footballer! Just look at how people have reacted to simpson! Loads saying get rid but no not a holier than thou rugby player lol I believe they say "a game played by hooligans, watched by gentlemen" about rugby and the other way around for football. Anyways, would have been a bit of a travesty if Tigers had got through and won it.
st albans fox Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 Well that was embarrassing. Bath had 8 visits and scored 7 tries. Tigers couldn't score in a brothel. dreadful defending and given the amount of ball we had, clueless going forward. With that penalty count, we should have made a game of it
Jaspa Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 Theyve been crap for a few years now, it seemed to have come from the fallout with Johnson leaving as England coach and the nucleus of that squad either leaving international duty, being dropped or moving on. I dont know if their recent dip is their own fault or just that other teams have got stronger, they seem to an Arsenal or Liverpool at the moment. one or two faces that wouldnt look out of place at the top sides but ultimately wont achieve much at their current clubs. This is all a very outward perspective, I've had very little interest over the years. Think they will be a major force again though, some good heritage there
BoyJones Posted 23 May 2015 Posted 23 May 2015 Unfortunately struggled to score tries all season. Over the season 250 less points scored than both Exeter and Saracens. Over 10 points per game less - hence not many bonus points - hence an away semi final. Need to sort it out for next campaign.

Loads saying get rid but no not a holier than thou rugby player lol That's maybe because people actually care about football?
1993fox Posted 24 May 2015 Posted 24 May 2015 I don't understand this hate for rugby. If you don't like rugby, then why bother entering this thread? It's quite sad that many LCFC fans have this pent up, imaginary hatred for Tigers as if you can't be a supporter of both clubs which are in entirely different sporting codes. Bunch of *****.
