If you have an Irish parent you are an Irish citizen regardless of where you born, live or if you apply for an Irish passport or not

Milly, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story...

From what I saw, Monaghan was extremely bladdered, had his winky out and the dog, like most dogs would do, was sniffing curiously at the offending piece of meat......Probably very funny at the time among a group of p!$sed up rugby players, just a tad embarrassing when you have sobered up....

What Joel Monaghan did was vile and he has apologised, which does not make it right at all. I only hope he keeps his head down, does what he does best and score tries for the Wire. He'll just have to take the dog chants on the chin in my opnion...

I can't believe how many virtuous people we have on R L Fans. No one has ever done anything stupid whilst highly intoxicated that they would later regret once sober? Obviously no amateur players here, because some of the drinking games you boys play are disgusting!

JM didn't 'do' anything to the dog. The dog did what dogs do. Dogs sniff, lick and hump anything given the opportunity, even drunk rugby players. I thought I was straight-laced but I'm way off compared to you lot!

Just think how long a list we could do of Wigan players and the Wigan clubs indiscretions over the years, just read the Gazz Hock (second coming) thread, hypocrisy has always been strong with some Wigan fans.
