Both leaving I would imagine as Kiely only signed a one year extension but Kinnerk has already signed a contract with the IRFU.

The first of the Limerick hurling set to return to the rugby.
We have had our fun sure.
Just on the modern day supporters, cocaine is rampant among many of the younger cohort especially those under 25, that and a tank full of drink brings some real loutish behaviour to the terraces.
Cork are bringing huge crowd to these games but its a very young cohort many under the age of 18, I was in a popular Thurles bar the day of the Tipp v Cork game, although Cork outnumbered Tipp 6:1 in the the stadium, it was the opposite in the pub as they basically refused any Cork supporter under 30 such was the intoxication levels of young Cork supporters falling all over the square in Thurles, that and there were eyes bulging from the powder.
Any of the old school Cork supporters that were let in were still the best in the business.

Im not sure if this is true of turenne but in most cases the most vocally negative gaa fans are the ones who never played at all really. Even ones who were good underage players know how good the county players are to get where they are in relation to them and rein it in a bit.

But each was predominantly one or the other always wasn’t it? Even though you could pay at the gate you could still get tickets in advance i thought?
I’m not sure of your exact criteria on headbangers but I’d be relatively confident that the Wexford contingent on here are bereft of any headbangers.
What I really hate is when a team wins a turnover as some poor divil is surrounded by about 6 lads and gets done for overcarrying, the lepping and roaring done and in your face toxic masculinity comes to the fore.

It’s amazing what’s been brought into the game in recent years. Tyrone Dublin and Armagh have a lot to answer for

This is being widely coached ‘celebrating the small wins’. The idea is being loud and supportive of each other on the pitch creates momentum for a team. There is value to it but as you say it doesn’t take much for it to spill over into pretty obnoxious behaviour.

Its got to the stage now where I prefer when the fella who is being surrounded and (is probably being fouled anyway) gets the free.

“probably being fouled”. Nonsense. He is required to play the ball out of the situation. It’s what the hand pass is for. Or attempt to throw is up and strike and offer an opportunity for a block or flick or contest for the ball. That’s what the game intended. You’re not entitled to hold onto it.
You see a lot of lads in possession just drop the ball now. Leading to another ruck
Throw the ball up to feck and header it with the helmet.
A lot to be said for dropping to the ground and letting fly in those situations

I never paid much attention, but I can’t think of any Wexford headbangers, mostly Limerick but that reflects the forum in general which is mostly Limerick,
