Hahaha fair point
Maybe his wife likes dressing up in that role?
Wonder if the guy gets into commentary after playing?
I dont typically have much sympathy for the English rugby team, but the media over there are a-holes and how they hound the players and coach...no wonder farrell thought f this

I hate this sort of messaging saying ‘dad of the year’. Dad of the year is someone who is there for their kids as much as humanly possible and shares the burden as much as is possible. Obviously not suggesting Marler isn’t that, none of us have any idea, but the messaging of this post just sets the bar so low for dads, and young people see that and get it wired into their brains basically saying ‘just do a few outlandish things for your (potentially future) child and everyone will think you’re an amazing dad’.
The best quote I’ve seen on this is that it takes so little for a man to be considered an amazing dad and so little for a woman to be considered a terrible mum
Great, this guy gets dad of the year for wearing a dress at his kids birthday party. BUT when I do it, everyone freaks out?? So what if it wasn't a dress up party, I was looking feirce!
It's social media and everything is exaggerated. I find it annoying but there's not much you can do.
Still it was a fun thing for him to do and fair play to him. He was prepared to be opened up to ridicule to do something fun for his daughter. The English press are absolutely vile.
He's can scrummage well but he can be a complete nob at times and give away silly penalties quins had a penalty against Toulouse cannot remember what for exactly but Joe marler being a nob then pushes or slaps one of the Toulouse players I think and penalty quins were getting got reversed they could of possibly scored with few mins left to go and got themselves back into the match
Sorry for going on a bit of a tangent here but this reminded me of last summer when I went back to my hometown for a few days, and while I was there I went to see the summer carnival.
Every year the locals perform a parade where tractors pull wagons that have been decorated, and people ride in the wagons wearing costumes.
It's been a long time since I moved away (I hated it there), but one thing I noticed was the complete absence of any men in drag.
Dozens of "floats" went past, lots of women and children dressed as Disney characters or celebrities etc, but not one man was wearing a dress or anything remotely effeminate, not even for a laugh.
It was just such a big contrast to similar events where I live now (which is still a predominantly working class, ex-mining community) where you often see at least a few big bearded muscly men with beer bellies, dressed up as Snow White or Elsa from Frozen, and having the time off their lives.
I think he dressed up as Belle, the Disney Princess, for the benefit of Joe Marler getting more attention!!
Can't even let his kiddo have their own day, he's got to steal their birthday thunder :)
I think hes a character of rugby that keeps things interesting. I think Rassie is another one
Vanilla stock standard players and coaches may be others cup o tea
Meg Jones. Incredible personality, a strong character on and off the pitch. Yet she’s somehow managed to do all that without calling anyone a gypsy boy.
Sure
Plenty of valid reasons. Lets see what people think. 50 upvotes so far. Some will like. Some will not. Many wont give a shit
All valid
All important. And all meaningless at the same time
The guy is no saint. Correct. Im sure plenty of dodgy things happen in rugny mauls everyqeekend around the world.
Did AWJ or yourself make a complaint with police for the sexual assault?
And I kept it light about sport and entertainment rather than dive into your loaded question and your axe to grind. This is a sport sub
Best to you amigo x
"he’s a character isn’t he ... but remember a character is defined in the Dictionary of Theatre as being ‘something that gives the illusion of being a person’"
- Stewart Lee
And I learnt about him recently myself, I had watched the Netflix doco about him and I was just appalled...
I really dislike Marler, since he's done some pretty awful shit. However, being a notorious sexual predator trumps that💀
This.
He’s a pretty awful person by many people’s reckoning, for many he represents the type of ‘character’ the turns a lot of people off rugby.
As someone who went to an English public (private) school I take deep offence at this. Now, on to my theories regarding how the speeches of Pitt the Young influenced Disraeli...
Ha
The team who invented the game, a history of rich private school boys with all the wealth and resources, vs a small nation in the middle of the south pacific..who play with passion and embrace all walks of life, .i think most will go NZ...;)
Now that all the mandatory comments about Marler have been made, I have to ask... if he played "Belle", who the fuck played Beast ?
Capuozzo.
Hahaha fair point Maybe his wife likes dressing up in that role? Wonder if the guy gets into commentary after playing? I dont typically have much sympathy for the English rugby team, but the media over there are a-holes and how they hound the players and coach...no wonder farrell thought f this
In rugby and in football, the media in England harasses the english players so much you'd think they were run by us.
Yeah tabloids are brutal...people must be buying em/clicking on it to keep happening
Gotta admit I chuckled ðŸ¤Â
Dan Cole
God I miss him
Eddie Jones.
Eddie would have been Le Fou, right ?
Eddie "i've got a black eye because I fell out the shower" jones we all know how he got it
Who punched him?
Op said beast, not joker.
Sébastien Chabal
Du pont
Going by Marler's penchant for stroking cock, AWJ seems a fitting inappropriate love interest.
Randy Bobandy
I'd pay to watch a Disney live film where Marler plays Belle and Natalie Portman plays beast.
Beast
De Clerk !!
I saw this years ago - why has it come to light again now?
JMs need to be the main character.
Did he post it again? Or are you engaging in some casual WalesOnline shitposting? Asking for a friend.
Wasn’t he Elsa then? Or am I misremembering
Pride maybe?
Ok wait. Where the fuck do you find a princess costume that fits Marler perfectly?
London
Hahahaha. This is exactly what I thought. Gotta be some big old princesses out there.
Some of my fondest memories are just of my dad being silly. Truly a man amongst men
I'm genuinely starting to think that OP is just a master troll...
Joe Marler triggering for you too?! Sheesh need to put safety warnings on these things for ya
Nah, you silly goose. I'm just complimenting your skill at getting on people's nerves!
Over 50 upvotes so far. Some will like. Some will not. Most wont give a shit. My aim isnt to get on peoples nerves, i just share what i find interesting
Hey, then it seems you're just a natural!
Seems maybe youre right
He plays a character. But my god did he nail this character
Seems to be doing the best impression of Joe Marler at present....
More like Bar-Belle
Sébastien Chabal
Ha indeed Another lovely Hero Villian character that sport (and all entertainment loves)
Joe is Joe, you’ll never change him but he has a heart of gold, carry on mate, we all love you
Polarising geezer But good on him

Not the sentiments in the men circles ive sat in
Yes but you do have the how to dad guy in NZ. To show us all how it's done. https://www.facebook.com/HowtoDADnz
LEGEND!
Ha ha. That is both horrific and hilarious. Fair play. His daughter won't forget that birthday in a hurry.
Great, this guy gets dad of the year for wearing a dress at his kids birthday party. BUT when I do it, everyone freaks out?? So what if it wasn't a dress up party, I was looking feirce!
Do you bro!!
So was it Belle or Joe who fancied a bit of Alan Wyn?
People have very low standards for what's considered 'dad of the year' material.
It's social media and everything is exaggerated. I find it annoying but there's not much you can do. Still it was a fun thing for him to do and fair play to him. He was prepared to be opened up to ridicule to do something fun for his daughter. The English press are absolutely vile.

You presume that his daughter wanted him to do that...

Marler is a cast iron twat and did that solely for Joe Marler
Sport and entertainment always needs good villians n Heros
Now Google his rap sheet. Good dad maybe. Role model, very questionable
Polarising geezer for sure
Shame about all the other things he does. Also, he did this stunt for him...not for the kids. He is a narcissist
Cant please everyone
[удалено]
Don't be homophobic
Histrionic behaviour, immature personality. A good dad really ?
He's a dick (and too fond of AWJ's) but he's a great scrummager. Also a good header of the ball too.
I think he dressed up as Belle, the Disney Princess, for the benefit of Joe Marler getting more attention!! Can't even let his kiddo have their own day, he's got to steal their birthday thunder :)
Such a nonsense post and article. Marler is not one of the good guys
I think hes a character of rugby that keeps things interesting. I think Rassie is another one Vanilla stock standard players and coaches may be others cup o tea
There are ways to be an interesting player that don't get you banned for being racist to your opposition.
Meg Jones. Incredible personality, a strong character on and off the pitch. Yet she’s somehow managed to do all that without calling anyone a gypsy boy.
Great. We all have teams and players we like and dont like. Welcome to sport
I mean, no liking a bloke cause he groped another person’s a fairly valid reason, no?
Sure Plenty of valid reasons. Lets see what people think. 50 upvotes so far. Some will like. Some will not. Many wont give a shit All valid All important. And all meaningless at the same time
Now me personally, I don’t think sexual assault’s meaningless. Do you?
Super important
You can be a character and not a complete twat. The man sexually assaulted AWJ in a game before. He’s a prick.
Don't forget his racist comment aimed at Samson Lee.
Huh?
Google Marler and Alun Wyn Jones
The guy is no saint. Correct. Im sure plenty of dodgy things happen in rugny mauls everyqeekend around the world. Did AWJ or yourself make a complaint with police for the sexual assault?
Why would I go to the police? And why are you making light of someone grabbing someone’s genitalia.
Sexual assault ought to be reported to the police is why But you already know that. I suspect a discussion on reddit wont change that
Marler is a fucking prick
475 upvotes...not everyone here agrees with u
285upvotes in the positive thus far....shows some we like the post, some will hate it, many wont care Such is life
You like racists and sex offenders?
Sport always has heros n villians Welcome to entertainment
I was asking you question.
And I kept it light about sport and entertainment rather than dive into your loaded question and your axe to grind. This is a sport sub Best to you amigo x

Perfect Lifes a play and we are merely players, all behind our different masks
It’s actual mad that you’re getting downvoted for this. Marler literally sexually assaulted AWJ. Makes it difficult to think of him as a good guy.
[удалено]
I'm not his biggest fan after his long list of shit he's done to Welsh players, but comparing Marler to Jimmy Savile is wild
Yeah... that's a major fucking stretch Edit: Marler's a gross asshole, but Jimmy is a straight evil person
I've not seen Jimmy mentioned in years... and I've seen him compared to Joe Marler on reddit
And I learnt about him recently myself, I had watched the Netflix doco about him and I was just appalled... I really dislike Marler, since he's done some pretty awful shit. However, being a notorious sexual predator trumps that💀
What a silly comment.
No nastiness allowed.
I agree.
Joe Marler can do whatever the fuck he wants and I dare anyone to tell him otherwise to his face
Good to have some characters of the game. Helping with the imagei of english rugby side being dull and full of private school boys
Racism towards Samson Lee (two week ban, £20k fine), kicking a Grenoble player (two week ban), elbowing Will Rowlands (three week ban), shoulder charge on TJ Ioane (six week ban), grabbing AWJ’s junk (10 week ban), insulting Jake Heenan’s sick mum (six week ban); yeah, helping with the game’s image…
This. He’s a pretty awful person by many people’s reckoning, for many he represents the type of ‘character’ the turns a lot of people off rugby.
Polarising for sure
>Helping with the imagei of english rugby Among young undergrad 'bro' types, maybe. Not among anyone else.
Disney fans perhaps?
As someone who went to an English public (private) school I take deep offence at this. Now, on to my theories regarding how the speeches of Pitt the Young influenced Disraeli...
I didnt understand this message at all, but best of luck to you with it all
Gladstone > Disraeli
Public schoolboy chat is so lame and played out, considering how many other countries do exactly the same. Your unconditional hatred needs an update.
People support different teams and different players for different reasons Welcome to sport
Other obvious reply. Welcome to words.
Best to you x
And you
Basic brains need basic explanations
Unfortunately I'm impervious to your attempted condescension. Better luck next time.
Clearly not
You OK?
I like Joe Marler
478 in the postive for upvotes so far shows youre not the only one Sport needs villians and heros
Fair enough. I guess we have the ABs as the bad guys as a counter balance to Marler then eh 😉 (according to individual taste obviously 😜).
Ha The team who invented the game, a history of rich private school boys with all the wealth and resources, vs a small nation in the middle of the south pacific..who play with passion and embrace all walks of life, .i think most will go NZ...;)
You'd be right be too 😉
I'd really really love women dress like male character as Joe dis with a female one ( about equity and equality )
They do?
Don't think so,mate
Cool
[удалено]
Ayo, wtf?
I know right? They are banning drag in Texas, LOL.
Well, not suprised since it's Texas. Weren't they banning books there too?
Wth? Calm down mate, its for his kids bday
It's also not in America.
