Dylan Hartley's Red Card Premiership Final Shame! | RugbyPass Offload | Rugby News | Podcast

Dylan Hartley relives his red card for Northampton Saints against rivals Leicester Tigers in the 2013 Premiership final. As a result he missed the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia starting just 2 days later and had his head photoshopped out of the team photo (to be replaced by that of Rory Best)! The red card was issued by referee Wayne Barnes who it was claimed Hartley verbally abused.

[@johnheathergeorge]

He was already warned about his use of language. Whether or not he directed the words to the ref, he knew that further inappropriate language would be dealt with. Correct decision by Wayne Barnes. He needs to own it.

[@Alexpage1111]

and he does which is nice

[@umfundiseThabo]

C'mon, who else would be a f#@ cheat in that situation. Man up!

[@darranedmundson1505]

@@Alexpage1111 He owned up beautifully ... until 2:59 when he takes a poke at the ref and claims that in an unbiased court, he would have prevailed.

[@gerrycallaghan5519]

Ah poor Dylan..you were the victim in all these eye gouge, elbow strike, head butt and punching incidents. Man up. Different between hard and sneaky.

[@KjartanAndersen]

You are the captain. You have been warned for language. It's a final. You don't say a word until the cup is in your hands. That is how a pro thinks. He went neanderthal and couldn't help throwing out profanities. He lost. The team lost. Well done, captain. The team salutes you...

[@jayl9110]

It wasn't even the "fucking" imo. I think Wayne took more issue with "Cheat"

[@andyhunter5869]

Fun fact - Hartley, from New Zealand, would not be good enough for any Super Rugby sides.

[@Scott1433]

If you watch the clip, you will see that just before the red card, Wayne Barnes actually warns him about using insulting language and even makes the point "If I think it's towards me I will deal with it" so basically as a player if a minute later you use the words he used, then you are asking for a red card

[@simonrendell9834]

What a hero. Gets a wholly correct red card 'fronts up' by not running away from the stadium.

[@tarutso]

Simon Rendell huuuuuuuge hero

[@boatlife5627]

Even if it wasn't directed at Wayne Barnes, he had already been warned to clean up his language. That said, it was definitely directed at Wayne Barnes

No mate he said it to tom youngs on the floor

[@jackevans1385]

@@jacobgent272 I heard that too

[@ATtravel666]

Hartley had been warned by Barnes about his language. Anyone with an ounce of sense would realise that after that warning they are treading on eggshells and they would need to be careful. Hartley was a professional rugby player, and regardless of angry or frustrated he was, he had to behave like a professional. He didn't, he acted like a moron and said "fucking cheat" AFTER Barnes had warned him to control his behaviour.

[@jacobgent272]

@@DownloadARevolt20 he said it to youngs its is fairly obvious i am a leicester fan scrummaging is very much like that

[@frazergoodwin4945]

What an absolute turnip. He was specifically warned "if I think it is to me..." by Barnes immediately before. Barnes did think it was to him - justifiably so whether Dylan meant it to be or not. There's not a court in the world that would side with the muppet who got carded.

[@timothywilkinson6745]

Wow, still doesn't have the integrity to take responsibility for his actions...

[@adamgrimsley2900]

100% deserved

[@paulmul101]

He cost his team and town a huge trophy. He half laughs about it. Who were u directing those words to if it wasn’t the ref. To try and suggest he would of won’t in court, 2 different sets of rules, your playing rugby not law. The self centeredness for this guy is amazing.

[@lewiskx20]

His inability to control himself on the pitch cost him a very much decorated career, don't get me wrong he's achieved alot and I do actually rate him as a player but... His control of emotions stopped him from much more in his career... Sad!

[@cooper512]

At the same time that edge he had made him the player he was. Much like Rooney in association football and Kevin Pietersen in cricket

[@simonlayfield2513]

He was sneaky dirty too often. I don't object to players striking out at an opponent face to face in the heat of the moment. It's a physical game after all, and it's easy to lose control. But Hartley, lke a few others, liked to get digs in to players who couldn't see it coming. That's not brave, not clever, and is dangerous.

[@MrClean-ms4nx]

Why have a Kiwi as England's Captain anyways? Or lead The Lions? Giving a player a Red for disrespecting The Ref, was a high moment for Rugby in general.

[@bigrigjoe5130]

England seems to make it a habbit to make the biggest asshole on the team be the Captain. At least Lawes seems like a decent bloke. But man Haretly and Farrel... Amazingly skilled players but I don't get how anyone looks at their conduct and goes "Yup. That's who I want my team to emulate. That annoying prick who constantly cheats and gives away penalties like sweets on Halloween"

[@phillipfairbrass3575]

Same as having, Samoa ,or fijian captains of New Zealand, dont make silly comments you just making yourself look ignorant and stupid and I dont think you need any help with either of these looking at that comment

[@Phill0old]

Still can't own it, sad.

[@welshdai]

Obviously not captain material.

[@philllawrence1580]

He was looking at Barnes when he said it. No way was it aimed at Youngs

[@alanhunt2457]

You said it to him so dont give us that crap.

[@peternicholas9110]

Were you warned…..yes. Was the Ref giving you the stink eye…yes. Did you say it….yes. QED.

[@Eleftheria_i_thanatos]

100% deserved. If you want to really be a man, accept it.End of.

[@iangascoigne8231]

He couldn’t believe what was happening despite the ref warning him about the way he was talking to him. Then they go and do the thing the ref told them at least 3 times not to do, ultimately leading him to be sent off. And he’s still whining about it years later, using the John McEnroe defence. It’s amazing how thick your average rugby player appears to be.

[@craiggoodwin7556]

He's not fronting up still in denial ... Trying to worm out .. he swore at the ref full stop .. deserved what he got let the whole town down ..

[@havennewbowtow8835]

Had his moments as a player, bit of a skunk 🦨 human being wise. No time for Barnes either but he was spot on with this.

[@anonymous12344]

Was absolutely fantastic to see his face and see how he begins to realise he let everyone down. Was absolutely brilliant

So Dylan , who did you say f@@king cheat to ??? And if in a court of law there would only be one assumption .

[@bristolrovers27]

Moments before Wayne Barnes had spoken to him about the way he was talking to him. Poor little Dylan said those words, he was facing the referee but he thinks he’d get off in a court of law !!!

[@haurua100]

What a sad sack fo not owning up instead chose to stand like a pillock out in the paddock all alone!!!

[@marcusd9192]

Who was he saying it to then?

[@boxfullofneutral8514]

its not criminal burden of proof though, started so well, they you still play the victim, and you did say it at the referee.

[@WELLBRAN]

There is another game clip of him asking the ref all the time for decisions of all kinds of enfringements he's a born actor eg someone's arm goes across him he makes out he's getting choked to death when there is zero pressure on him... shouting for yellow cards all the time..he is a right pain.

[@diogeneslantern18]

This video felt like the longest 4min ever

[@dicessdontbenosey438]

Rest in Peace Wayne Barnes

[@gooooohhhdhdhd]

Appointing Dylan as Captain of the England team brought rugby into disrepute.

The hate and vitriol on the comments here is really flying the flag for rugby values.. Think a bit of a less blinkered view would do a world of good. I certainly wouldn't like to read those kind of comments about myself just cause I play 'on the edge' and everyone that plays knows that shit happens, not always intentionally; at least he's got the balls to front the questions.

Such group of talent to pick from...but truthfully, the six nations and tri nations need to combine...southern boys are on another league on their own...pumas got lucky...
