Hopefully he gets a lengthy ban and we can call up Abendanon/Goode (though it's more likely to be Tait)

Is anyone actually surprised by this? The petulant dick is at it again - More then likely he's clean but the doping officer politely asked him for a sample so he threw his toys out the pram I'll bet.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Before I read the article I expected him to be getting cited for clotheslining or spearing someone, so I was surprised in that sense

 

[munstermuffin]

Delighted He way too arrogant and think he is alot better than he is because of 1 good spell he had on English team

Regarding the "good spell" - Dropping a zircon into a dog **** doesn't make it a diamond!

 

[lucky number 7]

needs to learn to control his short fuse.

 

[BigJoe78]

Six Nations: Delon Armitage banned for eight weeks


<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="226"> <tbody><tr><td>

Armitage will be eligible for England's final Six Nations match against Ireland

</td></tr> </tbody></table> England will be without London Irish full-back Delon Armitage for most of the Six Nations after he received an eight-week Rugby Football Union ban.
Armitage appeared before a disciplinary hearing on Thursday for allegedly pushing an anti-doping officer.
The 27-year-old was alleged to have used threatening and/or abusive and obscene language during a test after the Exiles' game against Bath.
He will now only be eligible to play against Ireland on 19 March.
The Rugby Football Union has charged Armitage with "conduct prejudicial to the interests of the sport" following the incident on 1 January.
Trinidad-born Armitage, who returned a negative test, has won 19 England caps and is a member of Martin Johnson's squad for the Six Nations, starting in February.
He made his Test debut in 2008 but has recently fallen down the pecking order and was used as a replacement during the November Test series with Northampton's Ben Foden taking the number 15 jersey.

Ahahahahahahahahaha.








Hahahahahaha.






Hah.




Petulant tosser.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Will be interesting to see who's named as his replacement now then
Hopefully not Monye

 

[Duckdee]

Think that's his England career, under MJ at least, done?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Should be,
He's an average/decent FB, with a temper problem,
He'll be replaced by someone with similar skills, but without the attitude so there'll be no need to recall him
I imagine Johnson is the kind of guy that wouldn't take too kindly to this kind of behaviour as well

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Oh good, he's available for the Ireland match. Hopefully he starts

 

[gingergenius]

****. the only man standing between banahan and the match 22.

[lucky number 7]

Foden is twice the player he is anyways

 

[Logorrhea]

What a complete tool. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nah, Flutey is the guy standing in Hodgsons way of the 22, as he's been playing a fair bit of FH at Wasps, and a 10/12 is more useful to have than just a 10 (having to shift Flood across)
Forgot that this means Banahan'll be in the squad =/
