Drugs, sex, domestic violence: football’s cover-up

[Deleted member 3518]

The victims of infidelity ie wives, husbands, partners often suffer from PTSD as a consequence of the behaviour associated with this type of betrayal. Many consider infidelity to be a form of abuse. So I have every sympathy for Phoebe and the distress she is no doubt experiencing. It can take up to 5 years for a victim of infidelity to recover.

Come on man . Infidelity is not abuse . Whilst it sux , that someone has to hurt like that , you should be allowed to leave someone and fall in love with whoever you want . If you screw around get a disease than give it to your partner that’s definitely abuse , but seriously thats ridiculous.

I believe the issue is you are still with your wife/husband/partner but are seeing someone behind their back. Cake eating at its finest.

Yeah that's low saying that. You can't accuse some person I presume you've never met of cheating on their partner. Way out of line there.

Yea I was not happy with what he said . Pretty low to just accuse someone of being a dog , with no evidence , other than general chatter on a forum . Not that it needs to be said , But for the record , I’m a faithful loving father/husband , who doesn’t have the time or energy to manage 2 women , or desire. I don’t understand how you could want to deal with the headaches and secrecy, plus I love my wife , she’s a good egg .
Whatever , he knows what I think . It is what it is .

Geez you both took what paws was saying completely wrong there! It wasn’t meant to be a personal attack. Think about it for a minute - how on earth would he even know that about you and then be silly enough to post it on a public forum?

That said, perhaps the grammar could’ve been better - Insert the word “if” before “you are still with your wife/husband/partner, but are seeing someone behind their back, *then* it’s cake eating at its finest”. Changes the whole context of the sentence.

Besides all that, if he was having a personal go at you why would he use all three possibles of wife/husband/partner? It was clearly a general statement about the people who actually do these things, not you.

It’s not hard to say , sorry about the misunderstanding . When you make a comment like that , it’s up to you , to clarify , if someone takes it the wrong way .
If it was a misunderstanding, fine, but in the context of the conversation it was very easy for me to take it that way. I’ve offended people before accidentally . It’s not a big deal to clarify your position. I didn’t see any real attempt there .
But it’s not a big deal . I was irritated last night . Mildly annoyed this morning. But it’s just a forum . Who gives a toss what some random thinks .

What ? Eat turds mate. I don’t cheat on my wife . I’m just able to see the complexities , of the human condition , and how attraction can be undeniable , and also how relationships can die a slow death . Even if one half of the relationship doesn’t want to admit it.
You think like a child . My feelings are hurt , so I am abused ... Garbage . You need to harden up and realise , people are selfish . You only have 1 life . It’s a choice how you live it . And a choice. how you treat people both good and bad .
If getting cheated on is he worst thing that happens to you, and you want to claim your abused and therefore are some kind of victim , then I wish I lived that kind of charmed existence .
People suck . They hurt people . Your not a victim , just someone who met someone who sucks and now you learn from it .
It’s insulting to people who actually have been through way worse things , and refuse to use words like abused and victim .

Edit ; by the way , I’ve been cheated on , had my fiancé leave me for some bloke and put massive holes in walls when she ran off with some bloke .
Do I hate her no. Did it burn me at the time . Yep . It broke my heart. But 13 years on , I see that our relationship was built on a crappy foundation , she was homesick , as I was away for work a lot , and I valued hanging with friends way more than her . I treated her well , sure , but that’s not enough . We just weren’t mature enough to deal with adult problems in our mid 20s . I hope she is living a good life full of love , and she’s genuinely happy . Her dad , left her mom for the tennis instructor , so she had messed up ideas of what relationships were , and I just wanted someone to party with and hang out with .
Pick your gear , up take a step forward , realise , that she/ he might not be malicious , but doing what they need to , to get through whatever messed up things they are going through . Some people are evil , and do some heinous stuff , but really , that’s such a low percentage . Most just want to be happy , and put thier happiness above anyone else’s .

I wasn't referring to you. If it read that way it was unintended.

I believe this issue began with certain photos being sent to a young lady detailing a certain part of the body. That also is a form of cheating. It was all over the media at the time.

Wow , you lack integrity . You were ? talking to me . And now you want to throw away like I misread you ? Rather than just say , yea my bad , I shouldn’t have said that ? And you want to question other people’s morality ? Your a joke .

When I read it, I didn't think he was talking to you. It was ambiguous. You've not mentioned anything about infidelity or being smug (the "having your cake" comment) so I didn't see how it could be addressed to you. Sorry to hear about what you've been through and good for you for sharing.

I know what I wrote and I believed I clarified my intent. You do not know me and cannot make comment about my character.

You were pretty keen to about me .Your full of hot garbage. Here you go again claiming to be victim . You’re pathetic .

I've demonstrated patience with you but there is a limit. Please do not bother responding.

Lol so your not going to apologise? And make up a story , when it’s obvious that , what your original meaning was ? If I ever see you comment on morality again , this conversation will start up. You don’t get a free pass .

And just for clarity , if you genuinely did accidentally accuse me of cheating , and you saw my reaction , most people would apologise immediately, not wait for another forumer to give you an out. Especially when you can see how it made me react. Youre a liar and lack integrity.

He has pretty much told you that it was misinterpreted. That's all that needs to be said. Typed words are easily misinterpreted.
No need to get abusive IMO and throw personal attacks. A bit over the top reaction-wise.

I reacted to what I thought he said .If I’m wrong , I’m wrong . But no one has said anything to make me think differently .

He's not referring to you specifically... He's saying "you" more as an example on the topic... not you specifically...
I didn't see him as attacking you when I first read it

i have to agree with Ink on this one Strongee - paws was definitely not referring to you personally. He was generalising on what he sees is the problem with infidelity. Maybe the use of "you" should have been substituted with "someone " to avoid the ambiguity.

Yea , I’ve had some time think about it and I did see red . I don’t know what the truth is , it’s kind of irrelevant . I shouldn’t have reacted that way. 2 wrongs don’t make a right , regardless . I apologise to paws for blowing up at him, because in the end it’s just words on a screen .

Retired South Sydney great Sam Burgess has been arrested after allegedly failing a roadside drug test on Monday.

The Daily Telegraph reported Burgess was charged on Monday afternoon with driving an unregistered car and police will allege he has never held a NSW drivers licence.

Police also allege he returned a positive road side drug test for cocaine which has been sent away for further analysis.

The 32-year-old was pulled over at around 1.30pm on Monday while driving a BMW X5 on the Hume Highway at Braemar.

The Australian reported Burgess was on the way to collect his two children when he was pulled over by police.

Burgess was originally meant to collect his children, Poppy, 4, and Billy, 2, at 9am on Monday, but missed the collection time, which was changed to 2pm.

But half an hour before he was due to collect his children, NSW Police pulled him over.

“Officers from the Hume traffic and highway patrol were conducting traffic enforcement duties on the Hume Highway at Braemar when they stopped a BMW X5 and spoke to the driver, a 32-year-old man,” a NSW Police spokesman said.

“He was subjected to a random roadside drug test before being taken to Southern Highlands police station where he underwent a secondary oral fluid test. A sample has been sent for further analysis.

“He is due to appear in Moss Vale Local Court on Tuesday 4th May 2021.”

Burgess retired after the 2019 season due to a chronic shoulder injury after scoring 44 tries in 182 games for Souths and winning a premiership in 2014.

It has been a tough period for Burgess since his retirement after he was charged and found guilty of intimidating his father in law Mitchell Hooke during a heated argument in the NSW Southern Highlands.

Burgess was found guilty of the charge after a heated clash near Bowral in the aftermath of his marriage break-up with wife Phoebe.

He was sentenced to a two-year community corrections order and given a two-year apprehended violence order.

Throughout the court proceedings, Phoebe and her father admitted to cooperating with the media and making allegations of explicit drug use and domestic violence.

Burgess spoke briefly outside of court after being found guilty of intimidating his father-in-law.

“(I’m) confused with the decision, we’ve appealed the decision,” Burgess said.

“I’m not going to say anything further. Thankyou.”

His lawyer Bryan Wench added: “He’s innocent, we will go all the way if necessary. He’s done nothing wrong.”

Burgess married Phoebe at her parents’ home in December 2015 and they have two children, four-year-old Poppy, and two-year-old Billy.

The couple separated in late 2018 before briefly reuniting in April 2019.

They split permanently on October 2 in 2019 and have since divorced.

Wonder how Sammy will go with the custody hearing?

The 32-year-old was pulled over at around 1.30pm on Monday while driving a BMW X5 on the Hume Highway at Braemar.

The Australian reported Burgess was on the way to collect his two children when he was pulled over by police.

Burgess was originally meant to collect his children, Poppy, 4, and Billy, 2, at 9am on Monday, but missed the collection time, which was changed to 2pm.

But half an hour before he was due to collect his children, NSW Police pulled him over.

“Officers from the Hume traffic and highway patrol were conducting traffic enforcement duties on the Hume Highway at Braemar when they stopped a BMW X5 and spoke to the driver, a 32-year-old man,” a NSW Police spokesman said.

“He was subjected to a random roadside drug test before being taken to Southern Highlands police station where he underwent a secondary oral fluid test. A sample has been sent for further analysis.

“He is due to appear in Moss Vale Local Court on Tuesday 4th May 2021.”

Burgess retired after the 2019 season due to a chronic shoulder injury after scoring 44 tries in 182 games for Souths and winning a premiership in 2014.

It has been a tough period for Burgess since his retirement after he was charged and found guilty of intimidating his father in law Mitchell Hooke during a heated argument in the NSW Southern Highlands.

Burgess was found guilty of the charge after a heated clash near Bowral in the aftermath of his marriage break-up with wife Phoebe.

He was sentenced to a two-year community corrections order and given a two-year apprehended violence order.

Throughout the court proceedings, Phoebe and her father admitted to cooperating with the media and making allegations of explicit drug use and domestic violence.

Burgess spoke briefly outside of court after being found guilty of intimidating his father-in-law.

“(I’m) confused with the decision, we’ve appealed the decision,” Burgess said.

“I’m not going to say anything further. Thankyou.”

His lawyer Bryan Wench added: “He’s innocent, we will go all the way if necessary. He’s done nothing wrong.”

Burgess married Phoebe at her parents’ home in December 2015 and they have two children, four-year-old Poppy, and two-year-old Billy.

The couple separated in late 2018 before briefly reuniting in April 2019.

They split permanently on October 2 in 2019 and have since divorced.

I'm not sure what a "community corrections order" is. But the last bloke I'd want wandering the streets of my community is Sam B.

Wonder how Sammy will go with the custody hearing?

I’d say his appeal on the previous charge is not going to happen now

Based on the timing of their previous announcements now would be the ideal time for Souffs to anoint Scummy Summy a Rabbletard for Life

A community correction order is basically what used to be known as a good behaviour bond.

Surely something has to stick to this maggot eventually? He's had a charmed run with escaping punishment for all of his indiscretions. The true definition of a meathead that bloke.
