Ben Cohen assaults a touch judge

[TauZeoN]

legendary, love how he notices it was the linesman and picks him back up. epic!

[KlonoaPS1]

hahaha that was cute

[StandCorrected]

Lol, I'm pretty sure it's not the touch judges job to break up fights, just to stick his flag up when the ball goes into touch and call whether pens/conversions go over or not.

[fuckupyourmouth]

He helped him up! its allgood.

[vertxle3]

One of the best players ever to come out of England, anyone who thinks differently only just started to watch rugby. He had everything at one point, surprised he never got IRB player of the year between 2002 - 2004. Great player

[coolenaam]

:) that was well funny!

[roquefort88888]

Cohen is a tosser.

Totally ready to assault the guy when he thought it was a player; then when he sees it's an official he's immediately the sycophant.

[Ediscooliknow]

@roquefort88888 That's because a player holding him back is unnecessary, it's the official's job TOO do it, it was mistaken identity you ballbag.

[roquefort88888]

@Ediscooliknow

Yeah, you're calling me a ballbag - but when you find out I'm actually the touch judge, you'll be like "Oo sir, I'm soooooo sorry."

.

Is that you, Ben, ya lightweight? ; )

[Menla1]

ben said it was an accident, that he thought it was an opposition player.

[kanenkitten]

I'm surprised the touch judge didn't flag for foul play

[TheTotalRugby]

Helped him up i suppose.

[sepiasilence]

dont think that was him was it?

[fandotcom]

WTF is that about ,damn!!

anyway why treat another player like that it were his opposition? the inner wanker i suspect.

[stanlymanly2]

lol a simple case of mistaken identity :p

[nickh959]

that ref was a fuckin weakling why did he even try what a wanker

[1gnatius3000]

Real classy Ben Cohen. A little like Steve Borthwick. cunts, the lot of them

[maccy809]

he thought it was the other player, did you even watch the video?

[truekiwijoker]

Ben Cohen was an arrogant wanker. Him and that Danny Grewcock are about the two biggest knob-ends to ever darken the face of international Rugby.

It might be just me but he always seemed like someone on anabolic steroids to me...

[OneBigRetard]

And yet both are the nicest blokes. Strange that.

[flangepipemcgee]

saints are going to ruin the fairy boys of munster...

[boru1982]

who are the saints nowadays? i know they used be northampton, but thats when they were average.

[SayWeAreGoingUp]

was it a heavy weekend munsterman??!

Cohen played for Northampton!! :-)

[munsterman92]

he shudnt of doone that but i think he thinks it must be anoder quins player because afterwards he goes down to help him up

[HamoMan]

Wow. Did he get into trouble for this at all?

[jupiternoob]

why did he do it?

[SayWeAreGoingUp]

Spandexbooby, did Cohen drop the hand on your Mum? You, the same as a lot of homers (the Gloucester boys all seem to think thats what you are) seem to think it is acceptable to treat life long club players like dirt, a trait that seems to come from your Chairmen....think Dawson, Poutney, Thompson, Cohen. They cant "all" be arrogant sods

[Tomxion]

you cant spell 'saints' or 'harlequins'.

LOL

[worcesterawarrior]

its called a joke...

[abigsmallman]

hahahahaha thats so funny, he blatantly thought the touch judge was a player, i love how he picks him up afterwards

[SpandexBooby]

Ben Cohen might been a good player, well he definately WAS anyway. My mum's firm represents him and after what I heard of him and seen of him and his leaving of Northampton Saints well, his reasons anyway...he is really a little arrogant sod.

Players like that aren't worth the trouble, sure as hell he WAS my favourite player when he played for Saints but him and Steve Thompson are better off at Brive as we don't want players like that showing the club up.

[partybiscuit]

I often wondered what that was all about. Clash of the egos. Hopefully he hasn't burnt too many bridges.

[rwc20071]

Hes not a donkey hes a brillinat player...

[Dornimell]

He didn't mean to do it, he missed a punch on an opponent

[Bucketheadhead]

Oh cause that is fine too

[JoshSeddon]

Haha, I remember that game. Referee didn't even care after the game. he waz like yeah its fine dont worry.

[johnnygannerss]

lol!!!!!!!!!!1

[WesterGod]

looks like he thought it was an opposition player though and he was getting pissed :P, cause it looks like he helps him up afterwards???

not really a donkey tbh :S

[jandermann]

haha yeah indeed,

there is this funny moment when he realizes it and jumps towards him to help him up, i first thought he was gonna beat him up on the ground lol XD

[RichThePirate]

how can you title this with 'part time donkey'? any fan of english rugby and the guiness premiership will know that hes a full time donkey! we miss you at gloucester ben! your comedic fuckups used to give us 10-15 points a game!

[duncharris]

Bit like Mr Iain "let's pass to the post" Balshaw then

[roganisafag]

wow, ben cohen is a savage. i can't believe they still let him onto pitches. its just touch judges now, but one day it will be your women and children

[hendrikjp]

haha made my day.

[llcooljishard]

what a load of bull

[roganisafag]

red bull?

[AucklandRulez]

touche that was funny

[rugby171]

it was so fast i didn't see

[redd1g]

you guys are so fucking stupid he pushed an opposite team mate over the barrier and swung his arm round and knocked over the touch judge

yuo can see that its not an assault as he helps him up

[SirMattBusby]

Please explain what an opposite team mate is...

[WeeMan08]

hahaha :)

[AucklandRulez]

lol

[samganly]

I know the touch judge! He used to be my geography teacher! This vid is popular at my school!

[ChrisNRFC]

LOL i was there! right infront of me that happened, I got season ticket in tetleys stand! But the touch judge knew it was an accident because the Quins player ran away from Big ben :D

[bw92]

northampton are well goin to the heinkican cup final

any 1 disagree can kiss ma ass!

[chadderz123]

For God's sake, Ben did not assault the touch judge, he felt someone touch him and shoved out at them, and he went and picked him up and apologised and apparently even went to find him after the game just to apologise again.

Poor Ben, gets picked on so much. Just accept you lost, don't take it out on Ben!

[tehmite]

With comments like that you must be a cheetahs fan. Is the snide comment there just because you lost your precious home record this week?

Bless.

[duncharris]

Yeah, you somehow managed to play worse than us (and we were dreadful), never look like creating a try-scoring opportunity and somehow sneak off with a win. Now I know what it feels like to be a Stains fan every week.

[tehmite]

Yet we still won on your own turf using an almost reserve side.

Never mind eh, you can still lose the playoff final. Again.

[duncharris]

But you *only* have a reserve side. That's why you're hanging on at the bottom of the table.

[tehmite]

Tell me, was that a Leicester first team or a reserve side that we beat on your own turf?

Reading your offy, apparently your (ahem) "best" players were in Dublin on Saturday in white shirts. Which is amusing.

[duncharris]

That was the reserve side. Both Ollie Smith and Sam Vesty demonstrated why they aren't in the England setup. The first team beat Munster at Thomond Park the other week.  And you have to get to the payoff final before you can lose it...
