The quality of your posting has been in steady decline for a while now. Someone has to call you out on it before you descend into fooley territory.

Id say you were in decline but youve always been a shit poster its just the recent shitness of your posts has been stinking up the forum more of late

Correct.

@Bandage, I’m asking you to review your thread title. The words rugby and merit should never appear in the same sentence.

Malachy Clerkin has an article in The Irish Times ridiculing the match day experience imposed by the IRFU on the simpletons who attend rugby football matches. Piping in music during play apparently. :smiley:

Some fucker in the gym was giving out to his mate about no atmosphere at the Samoa game. I could not fail to over hear him Then the prick says he left after 60 minutes :rolleyes: He cannot see he is part of the problem

I hear they play a heartbeat during TMO decisions, a fucking heartbeat sound I ask you. Its as bad as that cunting singing section te Aviva has for the football.

George Hook in todays Indo. :clap:

“The modern rugby supporter is less knowledgeable than those of previous generations and inured by a diet of television and provincial success has little patience with a sub-standard national team.”

[quote=“myboyblue, post: 861859, member: 180”][SIZE=6]13 Rugby Buzzwords To Use If You Want To Sound Like Gerry Thornley[/SIZE]

What’s the story with this Gerry Thornley guy? What are his rugby playing credentials? Didn’t he start out his journalistic career in the Irish Times as their League of Ireland correspondent? That in itself is disturbing. A soccer type given one of the most important jobs in Irish journalism replacing the incomparable Edmund Van Esbeck. With his earring and scruffy look I’d very much Thornley was ever let near a rugby club.

Every week necessitates a critique of a referee. Whether its province or national team there’s an issue and a whinge. Yesterday it was Wayne Barnes. The problem was Ireland had lost 6 of the 8 matches, Barnes had been in charge of. It would appear that Barnes, not Ireland not been up to the job was the reason Ireland lost. Thornley had issues with Barnes and the two wins as well. One of the wins was the Grand Slam winning game in Cardiff in 2009. The problem was the penalty county was 15-5 to Wales. The other win with Barnes officiating was the 16-14 win over Georgia in the 2007 World Cup. He didn’t elaborate on what the issue with Barnes was here. It was probably his fault that Georgia had the temerity to show up, be competitive and nearly win the game.[/quote]

What’s with your rugby hard on?

I’m bored out of my mind Mark

You’re losing your mind.

Credit the Munster Rugby franchise for lifting spirits around Limerick yesterday evening after the disappointing loss by Na Piarsaigh in the All Ireland Club semi final.
