[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 789385, member: 38204"] Some of these opinions on here really worry me. You are right. Being called a "Welsh boy" or an "Irish boy" is also an offence if you imply a negative connotation to it. Which is what Marler did. He wasn't just using it describe Lee, he used it an a derogatory manner, reinforcing the negative prejudices of the term (as in he was implying it was an insult). This isn't about being politically correct, this is about being offensive and showing a lack of respect for an opponent on the field of play. Particularly at international level, playing as a role model with children and fans watching. I completely agree with Eddie's response to Marler, reminding him of the "responsibilities of an England player". [/QUOTE]
