A 32 yr old married man who willingly was involved in group sex with a 19 yr old. Not illegal no, but it is sooo very morally wrong....and some people look up to this person!!!
Just like his brother, channel nine will throw it all under the carpet and continue on making him look like he is a choir boy.

I expect that 4corners will be doing follow up shows on surfie culture & musicians as well and the amount of gang-bangs that go on there.

"ingrained"? Talk about tarring everyone with the same brush... I feel sorry for blokes like Civoniceva, El Masri, Price, Cam Smith - family blokes who don't deserve this sh*t.

So what was El Masri doing when the dogs put all that blood in the pool in Coffs? Sitting in his room, on a prayer mat, listening to Cat Stevens? If he was half the man the media thinks he is, he would have spoken out about it.

i wonder if it will be impartial?

4 corners have been in the sh*t before http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2006/07/27/1698940.htm

ABC's 'Four Corners' breached code of practice: ACMA

The ABC's Four Corners program has been found to have breached the ABC's own Code of Practice over a story about forestry in Tasmania.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) received three complaints about the program, which aired in February 2004.

The ACMA has found the program breached the ABC's code by failing to make every reasonable effort to ensure the program was impartial.

The ACMA also found the ABC failed to make every reasonable effort to ensure the program's factual content was accurate.

Yet you're somehow more in the know than the next person? FMD.

No, I don't know one way or the other who's telling the truth. Chances are its somewhere in between the woman's story and the footballers'. Most in this forum are siding with Johns and co. The truth is there is no more reason to believe them than to believe the woman.

Keep slinging the mud hoping it will stick huh El ?

So far your response to this whole thing has been to

a) Blame the AFL as it is to blame for this whole thing by engaging in some sort of conspiricy with the media to bring down the NRL
b) point out that the AFL has players engaging in distasteful conduct too
c) bag off Four Corners
D) bag off the ABC
e) State that the players are innocent as the police didn't charge them
f) Call the women involved a s**t and a whore

And yet you or indeed any of us haven't seen the program or what is contains, indeed you are refusing to watch it at all.

El, it doesn't matter what the AFL players do this is about rugby league and it's players. Burying your head in the sand or slinging mud about other Codes/players have nothing to do with the allegations about NRL players. Albert Proud has nothing to do with the NRL or the Cronulla sharks. The show is about league players. Perhaps you could watch the show and see what is being alleged and them present a point by point rebuttal of every allegation leveled against rugby league players.

the dumb bitch was just on Hadley's show getting a free plug

she is a disgrace

I'm fascinated that I get a warning and post deleted because I quote from a blog some comments which I suspect are from a friend of the woman, yet you post sh*t like this, calling her a dumb bitch, disgrace, wishing she was part of the road toll etc, etc.

In your world it is obviously a crime to be critical of rugby league.

All is perfect in the game, lets all bury our heads in the sand, go to the grounds and hang out with the few thousand likeminded fanboys who want to be blindy loyal to their favourite team/players, and watch the game disappear down the toilet.

perhaps Sarah should google the name Albert Proud and ask why there is little to no discussion on him

and why is he still allowed to run around in the AFL

Well seeing as the show is about NRL players it would seem a bit odd to include an AFL player wouldn't it. ALbert Proud wasn't in a motel room in NZ was he ?

Keep throwing mud around.

Strangely enough, despite ED not watching the show tonight I have this feeling that he will be offering point by point rubbishing of its content either tonight or tomorrow.

This is of course additional to the pre-emptive rubbishing of the show and everything associated with it.

Anybody have links to the DUI/Driving without a license offences for Bourbon Bekky, specifically the one that suggested jail time for a next offence?

As part of the attack on the Roosters and Nick Politis, gossip columnist Rebecca Wilson described Politis as a gibberer. Let's just examine this statement. Here is a woman who has bounced around from job to job over the years. She currently makes her living as a talking head and muckraker with a News Ltd paper. She was recently exposed as a repeat offender on driving charges, including drink driving and driving without a licence. Yet in her typical attention-seeking manner she has accused Politis, a self-made multi-millionaire and one of the most respected business people in Australia, of being a gibberer and questions his credibility.

You would think so, but then why include Rugby League and Matthew Johns in an article discussing a study into the attitudes of afl players?

Gone bad ... Matthew Johns apologised on TV to his family after the re-emergence of claims he was involved in group sex

New research says footballers are often seedier than criminals



By Rodney Chester

RESEARCH shows footy stars are more likely to have alcohol problems, be more verbally aggressive and more sexually promiscuous than criminals.

The study comes out as rugby league has been rocked by another scandal involving high-profile players caught out in group sex, The Courier-Mail reports.

Channel 9 Footy Show star Matthew Johns has apologised on TV to his family after the re-emergence of claims he was involved in group sex with a 19-year-old woman in a Christchurch hotel in 2002.

The study, published in the Australian Psychological Society's journal InPsych, subjected nearly 50 AFL footballers to personality tests and compared the results to similar tests conducted on 940 convicted criminals.

The study found footballers scored significantly higher than both the social average and the offenders in measures of alcohol problems, anxiety, verbal aggression, sexual promiscuity and anti-social behaviour.

"The data suggested that AFL footballers were most likely to offend in the context of alcohol usage, through offences such as drunk and disorderly, drink driving, or violent or reckless behaviour," the study authors reported.

"The relatively high sexual promiscuity scores suggested AFL footballers may potentially place themselves at greater risk for sex-related offences and vulnerability to scandal."
Keep throwing mud around.
You mean throwing some back.

myanonymoususername, might be something to do with the fact stories posted on a blog are complete and unadulterated hearsay? El Diablo, while vicious with his opinion, has supported everything he's said with fact.
