Re: Cowboys Agenda

Listen here, we were six wins from six in Europe, incl Leicester home and away, and a universally criticised French referees' red card against Jared Payne from a real crack at a Heineken Cup - with a record as sh*t as that and given our previously unsurpassed track record of league and European succ...

Re: Autumn Internationals 2016

Jeez, what a weekend roller coaster - fantastic effort one and all, I'm 56 years old and watch a lot of rugby and I have never seen that before, wrong to single anyone out but of course delighted for Rory, and Trimble's hits, fcuking brilliant!

Re: Rate That Performance - Edinburgh Away

Somehow Gusher's usual joke commentary seemed totally appropriate for that game and performance, for the record Jim: We were playing Edinburgh, not Glasgow A man's left wrist is the one attached to his left arm, not his right arm Danny Craven's positional record had fcuk all to do with Edi v Uls You...

Re: Accountability and answers...

Mark McCall left because he lost the dressing room, and he'll never be back. There is something deeply wrong with the whole culture, the craics good, sparkling feet, the pirouettes, beautiful boots, the cars, the free Nandos, the full houses SUFTUM'ing them, hailing an out half as the next coming wi...

Please Les don't say 'the Zebre game at home takes on real significance now', please don't, just don't!

Re: Edinburgh v Ulster Fri 4th Nov 7:35pm BBC ALBA/BBC2NI

I genuinely feel like I'm more annoyed about this than anyone in white or in that coaching team, that's what really bugs me, what the absolute f**k is Doak saying into that f**king mic, I know where I would put it, Jeez I'm cross

No the main offending issue this week was singing the Will Grigg song at La Mon, beats a pipe bomb being left at Lurgan halt I s'pose!

Re: Rate That Performance - Turnipstan home

Wrong thread maybe but I am halfway through Paul O'Connells autobiography (The Battle), and there are some very interesting excerpts. I would paraphrase and summarise that the great Munster team were great because a) they had a unique set of world class players, specifically forwards plus ROG, b) th...

Re: Munster game

You'll hear Ferris and O'Sullivans full post match reaction on the BBC website, scathing, not good enough and a long term problem which does suggest something deeper is wrong than just coaching, I can't believe I'm saying this but I think might be worth bringing Eddie in as a consultant, he's saying...

Re: Rate That Performance - Turnipstan home

The look that Piutau (who was poor enough himself) gave Diack after his cute little attempt to stop the first Munster try was priceless - a 'wtf have I done coming here' look! Our inability to even threaten one try in the second half was extraordinary, a skill in itself, at least it was our gift to ...

Re: The Final

Watched the match again and a few remarks: Hats off to the organisers, very respectable crowd, got the balance right for me, nothing over the top, on TV it seemed to me that the atmosphere was far better than the 75,000 at Twickenham, Murrayfield looked brilliant. Gregor Townsend is a class act, spo...

Re: Mexico vs the Chosen Province. 12 Professional Guinness

At this stage nothing I will say hasn't already been said, but: The best team won, no question! Great atmosphere, but agree that a lot of unsavoury comments from the fans, not saying that Leinster are in any way worse, just a sad development of the game that I love Saw Rory Best's interview this mor...
