Kiddies and Women love the band.
They where quieter than usual last night, the band I mean, not the women and kiddies. Still boil my pi'sh though.
Is there to be no end to this endless suffering for Alstermen?

I would like to see how we would have fared against their last few opponents. Wasps are missing a few but they will have a decent line up come Friday. Launchbury is rested this weekend and they have le roux back in action. When the best pack we can put out gets shunted about by connacht we shouldn't expect to easily beat any top 5 English team.

I watched them play Exeter. They couldn't get into the game and kept knocking the ball on.

better the crowd show their displeasure at a decision by a good old boo or slow hand clap than some eejit run on the pitch and gob the ref

The lesser of two evils in my book

If the crowd can show pleasure by cheering it is then equally valid to show displeasure by booing or slow hand clapping

the alternative is apathy .

From a players point of view everything is geared to
make the game hard to play - the speed of the game , the shape of the ball ,the opposition ,the weather etc - without an assh-le in charge of a whistle .

much fairer to boo a ref than the team your supporting because it is easy to play badly and so much harder to play well .

What Kiddies? When I was a kiddie 45 year ago I thought brass bands were a load of auld w*nk! Hadn't actually learnt that word then but it sums up by opinion of them then. Slade were the thing not some daft oul tw*ts dressing up as soldiers and playing tell my ma. Kids really appreciate loads of stuff like swearing and gratuitous violence, in fact they appreciate them much more than most adults.

Next thing you know Garces will not allow you to use your hands and you'll only be allowed to kick the ball.

And of course the Brace watch enemy action I have listed has failed to identify his refusal to a review of a possible forward pass leading to their try and the petty yellow two minutes from the end , which I my book would only have been justified if he had ordered white to free the ball or away white and the player had failed to comply .

Some fecker won €190 million last night with a euromillions tkt bought in Spain. The revenue here will take €38 million. Should buy a few rubber bullets.
Thank God I didn't win it, the Spanish already have stolen €70000 from me, I'd have been heartbroken to win €190M & only get €152M, not sure how I'd have managed. :lol:

I wish whoever won it well, I just hope it wasn't a well-heel Lionel............ or a Catalan separatist.............. or a Barcelona wendyballist.

Ron'n I used to regularly refer people to the "First Law of Holes", when they found themselves, as you do, of defending the indefensible.

You are now going down the route of "the last refuge of the rascal", infantile obfuscation, muddying the fresh spring of the truth with a muddy bucket of liquified shyte.

Ron'n stop playing the idiot, nobody faced the Hobson's choice you describe, to-wit, a display of bad manners or apathy. Catch yourself on.

It was perfectly possible to show respect for the kicker then be as raucous in their disapproval as they liked, albeit 3 minutes and two seconds of protest seemed adequate to me.

That would have shown good rugby manners in adversity instead of acting like sh1t on the back of a shovel, petulant children with no respect for the sporting traditions of the game.

Yes, of course, Dave, as half-hearted pushes go, >dance >dance >dance it was utterly savage. :lol:

Garces is as big a clown as FOLK. Ridiculous decision.

baggy - get real it is not a tradition of the game - it is a tradition of Irish Rugby .

It is equally a tradition of Irish rugby to show displeasure of bad refereeing

And that was what was evident
Kickers get booed in many locations and have to concentrate
despite the noise it's nothing new .

As I have said I would rather a crowd vent their disapproval
by booing a decision than resort to disrupting the game .

It must be borne in mind this was not the first missed physical offence in the game by Mr Brace

Both offences should have been penalised - both were worthy of cards and one a red card could have been shown .

Neither were petty offences such as a knock on or slowing a recycle and the idiot in the last 2 minutes cards Treadwell for that offence having previously failed to card either Connaught players
and you question the crowd venting their anger and think they should shout their gobs because of some perceived "tradition "
get real

There are those who know would say I'm normally a very calm person but Cultra /Bangor West/ Prawn Sandwich/Self-Rightious Social Superiority gets up my nose at times.

And having ignored the FIRST RULE OF HOLES, we move on to the Fourth Rule, to-wit, when you have ignore rules, one two & three of the RULE OF HOLES, attempt ill-considered bullshite as your last resort.

Only a moron would posit that only Irish rugby gives respect to kickers, I've already listed various ragtag outposts of the game where they have the manners of a honey badger , but in these islands the traditions of silence for kickers is long and well established. I cite the case of the Leicester Lionels where it is every bit as hushed as Toemund Parc.

Do yourself a favour Ron, stop and think before posting easily refuted bullshite. And remember, I've already called you out on your Hobsons Choice nuclear options of either/or, yet you repeat the dose in your reply,

I'll leave you with this thought, choosing to exercise personal choice in how to behave is every persons choice and responsibility.

By your silly little nuclear options of behaviour, you appear to suggest that if someone in your neighbourhood was following the ridiculous biblical obligation to stone a woman for wearing trousers, that even though you understand it's morally reprehensible, you would join in, despite your awareness of modern mores to become at a stroke, or the hurl of a halver - "Ron, The Reluctant Stoner", wait, maybe that explains a lot, are you "weedkiller" Ron?
