Sam Smith is holding their head high after being dragged on social media over their quarantine ‘meltdown’ and is all about love.
Critics, including Andy Goode, used Sam’s post to show the contrast against Captain Tom, who has become a national treasure and hero after successfully completing 100 laps around his garden to raise money for the NHS fighting on the coronavirus frontlines. 
The former England fly-half tweeted: "This picture absolutely sums up what’s wrong and right about our society right now! An attention seeker v’s an inspirational hero!"

But David Flatman responded, reminding Goode that he had been supporting the #Bekind movement in the weeks prior to this outburst.
Flatman tweeted: "Whatever happened to #BeKind Goodey? Didn’t last long."
When challenged, the former Bath prop added: "Goodey is a good man and we have been friends for a long time. We all make mistakes and say things that, on reflection, we wouldn’t say again, me included.
"I think this might be one. I could be wrong."

Remember #bekind

LIST | 4 signings that can transform Bristol Bears into Champions

2212377 1 copy 1
Bristol Bears have swiftly gone from Gallagher Premiership new boys to genuine title contenders in double quick time - but who available would transform them into future champions?
Having already signed up Fijian superstar Semi Radradra, England tighthead Kyle Sinckler, Mitch Eadie and Saracens duo Ben Earl and Max Malins, the Bears are looking in good shape for the 2020/21 season.
Here we look at four available players who'd give them the extra bit of quality to guarantee pat Lam's side end the season as champions.

1. Logovi’i Mulipola

He is expected to leave Newcastle Falcons at the end of the season. The Samoan prop, who can play on both sides of the scrum, is now weighing up his options as he looks for a move elsewhere according to The Rugby Paper. His versatility, experience and scrummaging pedigree would make him a fantastic addition.

2. Sione Kalamafoni

Scarlets are leading the race to land the powerful No.8 who is among the top ball carriers in the Gallagher Premiership. In his first season since moving from Gloucester in the summer of 2018 he made more first team appearances than any of his Leicester team-mates. He'd be a solid addition to their already extremely talented squad.

3. George Kruis

A decade after his debut for the club, the 29-year-old Lion from Guildford is understood to be considering a career move to the Far East, having been there last autumn for the World Cup. However, if the Bears could convince him to come to Ashton Gate he'd make their line-out imperious.

4. Josh Matavesi

The flying Fijian has made quite the impression after his mid-season switch from Newcastle Falcons to replace Jamie Roberts but Bath boss Stuart Hooper revealed he only has a contract at The Rec until the end of the season. Bristol Bears director of rugby Pat Lam is known to be a huge fan of the player.
