Incorrect ā I and a number of others have donned the green in full support of Irelandā¦ However, when weāve questioned the structures of the tournament or sought clarity on some of the finer points of the competition weāve been met with derision at every corner - usually from you - where you proceed to go off on one about soccer as a comparison and then you go nuts if anyone else brings up soccer at the same time.
Iāll be delighted for real rubby men like @gilgamboa should Ireland win on Saturday ā but iāll take great delight for guttersnipes like yourself should they not ā itās your constant sneering that has ruined the TFK Rubby World Cup experience for the true rubby men on here ā not the soccer crew.
As a rubby man yourself, you have to be applauded for not towing the party line and casting a critical eye upon the structures of the Rubby World cup and the haphazard way in which it has been ran.
Rugby bashing has become too mainstream.
I think once the west brit, private schools, silver spoon simpletons are beaten on Saturday Iāll go back to supporting them.
Thatās lovely. Iāve gone out of my way to assume the role of a rugby educator and explain a myriad of issues to the uninitiated ranging from tournament structures to the qualification process, world rankings, tournament rules and anthem protocols. Iāve even taken the time to post up a tournament wallchart to help you with your troubles with the tournament schedule - which you went and mislaid almost immediately. Thatās gratitude for you now.
Your problem, and maybe youāre not aware that youāre doing it yourself - is your condescending tone when doing these things ā¦ you relay your information by putting soccer or the GAA down. Iām not sure if it stems from the private school mentality prevalent in rubby or if itās a colonial mindset of looking down on perceived lessers ā¦ or perhaps these things are one and the same. You come across as disingenuous and I urge you to take this as a chance to learn and grow.
Iām not on Twitter. Iād presumed that a fella as smart and hilarious as you claim to be wouldnāt be three weeks behind half of Twitter in making a shit joke. I was obviously wrong.
For somebody who supposedly isnāt on Twitter you sure are adept at the old Twitter machine, arenāt you
Given the fact that youād seen so many other people independently make the same joke - I hadnāt - one suspects you are being strategically very modest about your consumption of said medium
The fact that other people independently or non-independently were making the same joke means other people find it funny
Perhaps itās just yourself that has a shit sense of humour
