Has he actually explained wtf he was doing and why? Can guess it was to get a reaction and looking for the guy to whack him one and get sent off but a very odd way to go about it.
I've mentioned it before but I played both games. Young men, me included, will be young men and behave accordingly when in a group dynamic. Ive been urinated on and urinated on teammates in showers after football more times than I care to count. Funnily enough never got pissed on in the showers after rugby.
There are definitely more poshos who play rugby because invariably they play it at their schools, exactly the same with cricket. Me and two other lads from my school played both and were among the more rough elements of the group and were the reactors rather than the instigators in regards to the genital and anal fascination of our peers.
It definitely provokes a reaction but with good reason. Biting was a regular thing too

To be fair not all young men behave the same way but you're right about the group dynamic. People's behaviour can change in a group and some avoid groups as a result..
I played as a flanker, either side, didn't bother me and I was at the bottom of piles of bodies often but in scrums where a lot of this fuckery would take place I was on the periphery. Usually the big lummox props and second rows were the ones with more of a fascination of the dark, dangling or brown arts
But they were also a lot more out and out violent and there is an honesty to that I shall always respect
The Guy got 3 matches which compared to Joe Marler in Rugby seems lenient but it still sends out a message you will get banned and hopefully fined two weeks wages by your club.
More gamesmanship than a sexual assault in this case BUT after the shocking court cases with football coaches abusing young footballers in historic crimes there is no place in football or Rugby or any sport for this behaviour.
If Calum Paterson had made a complaint to the EFL then I believe the ban could well have been 8 weeks or more.
Letters sent to all EFL clubs explaining the repercussions if this ever happens again should be mandatory after this instance.
Personally if Callum Paterson had knocked him out most of us would've understood.

I say this chaps a bit of a card...

Groups often don't elevate behaviour.
I never got bitten, not that I remember anyway

A very strange incident.
Thanks for this - it really made me laugh!
