Dylan Brown - charged sexual touching

[lucablight]

This topic is a great illustration of cognitive dissonance.

I have been known to have the odd tipple.

Good for you. Did you sexually grope a woman’s breast against her will?

I hope no one would pretend to know anybody's will after 15-20 drinks. They're not mind readers ffs

Excuse my crassness but would you stay with your partner if they cheated on you after having 15-20 drinks? If not, then you’re acknowledging that it’s not an excuse.

I'm actually over Dylan Brown. I'd say to him, one more f**k up and we rip your contract up. I think he's a self-entitled peanut. I hope he fully understands that this Parramatta team can get along just fine without him. In fact they've shown more passion and grit since he's been out. Coincidence?

Actually I'm sure it is coincidence. The three games he's missed have been against Canterbury, Manly and Redcliffe. But I agree we might be better off spending his massive contract elsewhere.

Well it was post mix so it was pretty shit anyway. It was also cheap at about $5 each for Johnnie Black and coke.
I had been drinking the same thing since I was about 17 and I reckon when I reached about 25 years old, I switched to scotch and dry. Drank that for 10 years... now I drink mainly single malt on the rocks or else scotch, soda and lime, though I have been enjoying an alcoholic ginger beer or two of late.

I got a cheap six pack of ginger beers on the weekend! Point of sale advertising got me. Ginger Resistance. Sounds like what you'd get if you tried to touch Corey Horsburgh's man boobs without consent.

I think it is a fair excuse, but no I wouldn't stay with her. I wouldn't want to be with someone who drank that much, which is why I broke up with Dylan Brown. My missus might have one drink when we go out, and only if she doesn't have to drive. It's one of the things I like about her.

What the f**k are they doing at the Golden Sheaf?
How does a bloke get to 15-20 drinks without being refused service and asked to leave?

I think the RSA people might like to have a word with them.

SLOW YOUR BRAIN ffs

I've had plenty of nights where I could not tell you what the f**k happened past a certain point, shit happens when you're out on the piss. Apparently I just hug every merkin in my vicinity when I'm shit faced, it's no tit grab though I suppose. I am certainly not an alcoholic though, last time I had a drink was months ago, and the time before that would have been well over a year. Not remembering what happened is not necessarily a sign of being an alcoholic or needing to get help for your drinking. Brown is a dickhead, don't get me wrong, It is just hilarious to see some people with these holier than thou attitudes towards this situation.

It’s not about being holier. Some people can’t control their drinking and it makes them do illegal acts like Dylan did. He’s now convicted of Sexual touching. What’s wrong about saying he needs to get help because of that? I don’t think it’s unreasonable.

What the f**k are you saying merkin?

Yeh, we've all been young and dumb and stupid. But if you get caught, you reap what you sow (so, sew for the grammatically diverse). And, I would suggest, young Dylan has been provided with a lot more direct 'don't be a f**kwit' counselling than the average Joe.

The idea that it's ok to grab a girl by the tits (norks, bajoongas, cans, etc) without invitation is a bit foreign to me. But maybe I'm a repressed metrosexual.

Yeah, look it's not ok, and it's right that some form of punishment is dealt out. But by the same token it's low end offending and under the circumstances of which we are aware, it's not something that should ruin a young person's life, regardless of their socio-economic status or the position they hold in the community.

He was also pissed, but to suggest as some have done (not you Barry) that a 23 year old who binge drinks on a Saturday night in his first week-end off work for more than 10 weeks has an alcohol problem and needs to go to AA, is a bit over the top.

AA would need a shit ton of funding if every young man ( or woman for that matter ) who binged on Saturday night was ordered off for intervention. It's pretty much a part of our culture in some quarters, so for mine that's a societal problem, not an individual problem for the most part.

Likewise. But only on a Fri or Sat night...and not every Fri or Sat night. Most people I knew who were the same age (male or female) were all doing the same thing.

Yep, same, and even now when I have a get together with the mates from my twenties ( we're all over the place now so it's rare ) it generally gets a bit messy, elsewise I rarely set foot in a pub for anything but a meal and a couple.

Definitely not against her will, but possibly without her direct, in advance, verbal consent.

Same, and in similar circumstances, dancing and drinking, I guess I'm better at reading the social cues than Dylbags though 'cause it near always had a happy ending.

I'm actually over Dylan Brown. I'd say to him, one more f**k up and we rip your contract up. I think he's a self-entitled peanut. I hope he fully understands that this Parramatta team can get along just fine without him. In fact they've shown more passion and grit since he's been out. Coincidence?

I wouldn't go that far, yet, but if he is worth what we have invested in him then he'll work on these things and improve those areas markedly. Talent only gets you so far for so long, he needs to pull his head in and apply himself to take the next step and realise the potential we are paying for.

What the f**k are they doing at the Golden Sheaf?

Yeah, it's almost like the whole RSA thing is little more than sticking lipstick on a pig.

RSA is a joke. Especially up here. The amount of seriously pissed idiots that I’ve seen still served beer is a worry.

It may not be true that he drank that much and his lawyer was leveraging a lack of cognition as a form of mitigating circumstance.
Or
He may have not had all those drinks at the venue, and just be able to hold his liquor well. He could have had 15 drinks at home and then got a ride to the pub

@Gazzamatta childhood best friend Mark Levy apparently not happy that Brown is free to play this week

I'm sure he'll help us flog the bye.

But...the NRL haven't decide that he's free to play...they just cancelled the no fault stand down and are re-assessing the situation....or have I missed something?

Yes you did. He’s free to play this week!!! Everyone should share their outrage with the NRL!!!

No you’re on the money. Mark Levy knows what to say that will generate the outrage, he learnt from the best.

To be honest, if RSA was seriously applied most pubs and clubs would go out of business. It's been clear for a long time that binge drinking is bad for the individual and sometimes others around them. Yet, we continue to allow it in licensed venues or "look the other way".

I know there's been times in my life when I should have gone home but I was served drinks. My Wife had a worse problem, she could drink until blacking out. I would throw up well before that point.
