Hmmm, maybe it did, maybe that's why they were still on the beer, could've been from the mini bar, could've had a box in someone's room? It may have been an outside area that didn't require a licence.

I just think it's piss poor that we got to see it, I think Thorpe is a dickhead, all the players seemed to be in reasonable nick for an all-nighter and any sort of laughter would've echoed in that enclosed area.

I did enjoy the footage of the Aussies singing "Sweet Caroline" with the Barmy Army, how good would it have been to be there?

Yeah, he just sat there like a stunned mullet, Travis looked a bit glass-eyed but not too messy. At least the 3 South Aussie lads were doing us proud.

Graham Thorpe potentially losing his job due to being the cameraman of the police footage and releasing it….

Ollie Robinson outed as the player that would not have a skin fold test and who complained that he was being fat shamed.

Shows how dumb and weak their selectors are. He played while Anderson read a book. Laughable.

Obviously at some point I think they would have been carrying on a bit more.....my experience is the police don't generally get called unless there is some sort of disturbance. You would have thought at some point the hotel staff have asked them to either be quieter or to finish up and they have refused to do so which is why the police are in attendance. Would be poor form if the hotel called the police first up and never spoke to the guys first.

In saying that it all looks extremely harmless and worse case scenario they were keeping a few patrons awake.....hardly end of world stuff especially given what type of behaviour we have seen previously from sports stars.

I'm guessing the only reason Thorpe could have posted the footage is that he thought the amount of police there was massive overkill (which I tend to agree with looking at the footage we see) and wanted to let everyone know how 'over the top' they were.

I'm so glad most of my partying was done in the era before mobile phones...…..nothing but trouble on a night out even when your not really causing any trouble.
