The way the rugger buggers operate is casually kick people to death who cross them, then go the Eddie Rockets to celebrate, then sacrifice the most working class member of their group if they need a scapegoat. I’d rather be a rugger bugger murderer than a scummy soccer fan because then I’d end up on €80k+ per annum and free working finance in South Dublin.
That’s why he was scapegoated. Laide was just kidding himself thinking he could be an insider. He thought if he liked rugby and showed all cultural trappings if middle class Dublin he could belong but that was a lie and he was always an outsider.
Laide was convicted by a jury of his peers of violent disorder and manslaughter. The manslaughter conviction was subsequently quashed. Are you telling us that you don’t accept the jury conviction on violent disorder?
Huh? You’re the one with all the geographical, social and class hang ups about rugby. Railing about how in your school days, supposedly only 2 or 3 people in your class in Monaghan we’re interested in rugby. You’re Eire soccer partitionist mindset can’t accept that this is rugby country, the game of the 32 county island that unites Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter.
He was a rubby man like you, he went to a fee paying rubby school where he played in that schools competition you are always painfully banging on about.
But apparently Laide isn’t proper rugby because he’s from Monaghan. You’re the one started on about Laide being from Monaghan.
If Laide had his manslaughter conviction quashed that means no one was ever punished for Brian Murphy’s actual death. Just think about that! A young lad mercilessly kicked to death by 5 rugger buggers in the middle of the street and they’re untouchable!
Scummy soccer crowd burying their heads in the sand about the wanton violence and hooliganism in Buenos Aires last night? Any examples of showpiece rugby matches getting stopped for attacks by ‘rugby hooligans’ on team buses?
It’s the Copa Liberatores thread? A fight outside a night club in Dublin and a tragic death nearly 20 years involving a crowd of teenagers is hardly on topic to last nights events in Buenos Aires.
