it could be to do with A) when he was young, and famous for throwing food at rugby league functions (much to the embarrassment of almost everyone apart from himself and John Devereux), or B) when he was old, and his truly appalling, resentfiul, embittered, "I've just lost a fortune at the bookies" commentary for the 2011 Wigan v Leeds Challenge Cup Final.

He wasn't out with Steve Ganson was he?

Worried about him recently.

He's been a right miserable git with his commentary constantly moaning about everything. He was a disgrace in the CC final.

What's up with Jiffy?

Hope the BBC sack him, he's almost as irritating as Ray French

The trouble is, a lot of famous sportsment are the targets of morons who think they can gob off and say what they like to them. I remember I was in a bar and a typical idiot poured a pint of beer over someone I knew quite well, who happened to be wearing a new suit. Unfortunatelly for the idiot his target was also European heavywight boxing champion at the time - a short left hook ended the matter and nothing more was said. Today the world is a much softer place and there would be a hue and cry, police would be involved and , no doubt, half of Westminster would be trying to get their share of publicity. I don't know the facts about Jonathan, but sadly nowadays the guilty party is often the winner of the fracas rather than the idiot who started it.

and it pains me that they listed him as a possible for a Statue at Wembley! He irritated the wife in RU commentary of the 6 nations, and he irritates me every time I hear him on the BBC.

BBC Team of:
Balding
Noble
Kear (never thought i'd say that)

Is plenty, and works fine.

he only got charged with common assault which is ewt from a finger touching you too a push , cant see anything happening to him tbh.

A :night on the town, a quick scrap followed by a caution: , happens to the best of us and even the Welsh Tw0t. Payback for being a misrable little trog

Yep this happened to Logan Swann. Some guy in a bar was winding him up saying he couldn't tackle, Swann took it in good humour and the guy invited him to tackle him so he did a soft mock tackle, so the guy carried on mouthing off saying see you can't tackle, give us a proper tackle then, so Swann tackled him like a professional rugby player would and of course the guy ended up with bad injuries and Swann got done for assault.

Most players actually know that they are on a hiding to nothing by reacting and so just ignore it but some people just have no respect and think it's fair game to shout what they want. I saw a Salford player in town once, with his missus, and some scally started shouting that his wife takes it up the Iestyn Harris, he was lucky not to get a smacking for that....players aren't going to 'just ignore it' when some guy is trashing their family.

He was asking for trouble going out around Mumbles in Swansea, its rough to say the least

I must have it confused then Went out down there with a welsh mate of mine and he said I will take you round Mumbles. Anyway the place we went did not sound like you describe it! Nearly got my head smashed in just for having an english accent

I think ive been stitched up
