2014 Six Nations Thread - Come the Power & the Glory

I have to say I am delighted at the way The Theologian Trimble has managed to work his way back into the side. Hard work and prayers do pay off.

Fuck the begrudgers. Some real stupid bitter cunts on here must be fuming. It’s weird they put so much time into hating rugby. It’s a clear insecurity. The GAA people who go in about it did so out of fear for a long time, but it’s clear now it’s not really having any effect and GAA playing numbers and it’s general organization has in fact learned from rugby and surpassed it at kids levels. Most GAA people, irish people remember, enjoy it cos it’s an Irish team competing at a high level and being successful. Ya it’s bandwagoning in a lot of cases, but just look at the bandwagoning that goes on in every GAA county bar arguably KK and Dublin, or with the “Irish” (lots of English lads) soccer team anytime they get to anything.
Complete hypocrisy from the likes of bandage, Totti (his interest in Tyrone all of a sudden is amusing)etc who bandwagon just about anything going. It’s embarrassing in fact.

Great day for the team and BOD especially, great day for the majority of Irish people.

I don’t think you can underestimate beating France away. They love rugby and have a massive pick compared to Ireland. When it comes down to numbers and not money as much in a professional sport, usually there is only one winner.

The hypocrisy of the likes of @caomhaoin lauding Brian O’Driscoll when he wanted the very player dropped over 5 years ago and was writing his rugby football obituary back then. That said, I’m relatively pleased for @Rocko and the chaps who actually played the game and stood toe to toe with the golden generation.

apart from Rogbee where Ireland have more players than NZ,Australia,Wales yet a much worse record than all of them

It’s only natural that as a Yorkshire man who’s name is made up of two rival Royal houses that there will be doubters - however I remain fully supportive of Stuart Lancaster in his efforts to return English rugby to its rightful place at the top of the world game.

Ya, his form was poor and I wanted him to get a kick up the arse. At the time he seemed to be over weight and living on reputation somewhat. But he pulled the finger out. I would laud someone for that alone, notwithstanding the brilliance that came before and after.

It would be easier for yourself if you just didn’t post on rugby, you wouldn’t look as stupid then.

You were shouting for Brian O’Driscoll to be cast aside and for management to move forward with Keith Earls as the main man in that position. Try to dress it up any way you like but it definitively showed you to have no understanding of rugby football. No harm either as most Irish followers of the game have a similarly low knowledge base. And your tenner is as valuable to the IRFU as the tenner of a passionate and genuine rugby football man like @Anto.

Your absolutely right about the last point. Just like your tenner is as valuable to the GAA as real hardcore Wexford GAA followers.

However, I wasn’t asking for bod not to be played and we don’t replace him with someone, hence others may have been suggested. Of course what I was actually suggesting was he needed a kick up the arse. It’s quite probable that happened, just in a less public way.

It’s funny how you are thread hopping now. You failed on one thread now you are scrambling to another. Be careful or you’ll start to be viewed similar to TAN, mickee and Mac.

@caoimhaoin, surely you know someone who can confirm that it did happen in a less public way and thus verify your version of events.

Claiming “wins” on different threads and going down the “just stop” and “don’t even reply” route too is desperate stuff. And based on the revelation that the word “football” forms part of the term “rugby football” so there’s not an iota of logic there.

I’m not claiming wins, more receiving forfeits.

Are you Matthew Kelly?

Who is he? I think it’s well established my name is Kevin Mulcahy

You bet.

Like Tom Barry’s flying column did all those years ago in kilmichael, @caoimhaoin is making clean shit of his opposition here tonight. Much like our heroes in Paris
A wonder to behold :clap:

Those brave boys both gallant and true
They fought 'neath the green flag of Erin
And conquered the red, white and blue

There is no opposition when it comes to rugby, mate. Everybody is ultimately on the same side. And that is why it is not taken seriously by serious sports lovers.

Wha?

serious sport lovers
The next thing you’ll be telling me is the ratballer lying on the ground feigning injury is a serious sports lover and the ratball governing body that won’t address this blatant faggotry (no offense to the gay lads) of this ilk are
serious sports lovers

There are a lot of seriously delusional lads on here when faced with the levels of commitment and effort put in by professional ratballers vrs that put in by pro Rugby players.
Anyway as a spectacle, Rugby lords it over ratball. In fact the only thing ratball has over Rugby is that in the participation stakes, any cunt can kick a fucking round ball around the place. Whereas in Rugby a bit more is required.
“Serious sports lovers”
Would you ever fuck off :smiley: :smiley:

My interest in Tyrone is by no means sudden. I’m Italian anyway but the West Brit rugby team has nothing that the standard Irish person can identify with and it’s disgusting the way this spectacle - involving molestation of fat men on other fat men -has became a vehicle for people wishing to elevate their social standing.

I have great time and admiration for the true gaels who don’t indulge these cretins and vehemently oppose rugby football and all who sail with it.

“True Gaels” only ever comes out of the mouths of bitter, chip on their shoulder Nordie lads. Often these lads have taken British government money to pay for sporting facilities or have got visas for other countries on the easier ride of the British passport. Is that how you became Italian? You pretended to be a Brit (which of course you are really anyway)? Anyway it’s a bull shit phrase entrenched in a weird deluded snobbery of the Nordies, the “we’re more irish than you Southerners” crap.

A “true Gael” would be delighted with Ireland’s win, it’s the only bloody thing we are 32 counties for.

You only got interested in Tyrone since about last July/August, when they looked like they may be challengers again. Up to that all you did wa bash GAA. So lets tell it like it really was. You are as much a bandwagoner as any of us.

You seem embittered about Ulster people having more backbone and pride than their free state counterparts and resort to the usual Brit quips. Ulster men have fought and died en-masse to free their occupied land, to unite Ireland in the manner which its forefathers wished it to be. The West Brit rugby team fly out for greetings with the British Royal Family, abandon their national anthem to appease a few orange bigots and serve as am outlet for the Protestant gentry of the island and Castle Catholics. It’s nothing to do with snobbery from Ulster people, it’s more to do with the inferiority connotations the Southern quislings inevitably feel about their cowardice in the years the Nationalist community of the O6 were suffering widespread discrimination and violent reprisals due to a state the free state explicitly gave rise to.

A true gael resents the quisling and servile nature of West Brit Rugby Football.

My interest in Tyrone is long standing and predates your inaccurate accusations, I’m sure there are enough posts here to prove it.
