[quote=âcaoimhaoin, post: 767143, member: 273â]This is off the chain kind of clamping.
Iâd hand in my license if I were this badly clamped.[/quote]
Youâve been clamped more times than a rotten umbilical cord, and you keep coming back.
I donât think it promotes violence, racism or homophobia and certainly not more than other field sports. For every incident that you name to back up your argument, it would not take too much google searching to find similar distasteful incidents in soccer or GAA.
People disagree with me, thatâs different to having a massive gaping hole blown in a theory you have on a band of people. Thatâs clamping.
Did it not support the apparthied regime of South Africa?
Now that I have the definition Iâll be able to avoid it in future.
You alright ChocolateMice?
You are absolutely right. I recently heard of a disgraceful torrent of racial abuse given to a player by a leading darling of the GAA. I have heard a club mate call an opponent a nigger, in fact thatâs happened twice. I donât think the GAA is that bad over all to be honest, most people are spot on, but I would rate rugby higher in how people of different kinds are respected. Irony is, Munster players and fans have drank and hung out with Owens on occasion and have also met him in a gay club and have had great crack with him, apparently. He also used to be accused of being pro Munster and too kind to them. So itâs particularly stupid this story, and it is very clearly from recent bandwagoners.
Soccer is a joke the amount of shit that goes on.
Certain teams, individuals and boards did, to their shame. I think its acknowledged now within rugby that this wasnât a good thing to do which showed in SAâs exclusion from the first two world cups. The Mandela/Piennaer moment in 1995 went a long way to healing that wound.
Surely apartheid isnât the reason you hate Munster though? Itâs not the odd heat of the moment incident on the pitch either, otherwise youâd have given up on Liverpool and various hurling teams a long time ago. What really grinds your gears about them ?

Jesus, Kev. For a man so far away, you hear a lot.
I wasnât always away CM. I know most people on here have short memories, but thankfully I am not one.

Sport just reflects society really. You get all sorts both playing and supporting it. Weâve all been at games as players or supporters where weâve heard stuff or seen things which are pretty out of line. I tend to think it reflects more on the person usually rather than the sport as long as the sport doesnât allow a culture of unacceptable behaviour to develop. For most sports its easier to police the players than the fans in this respect.

He was hoping Shannon would be the first Irish âClubâ to win the Heino Cup but Munster fucked that for him.
Soccer is a culture thing. It seems to drive a certain type if culture for different periods of time.
Most other sports are just that, sports, who invariably carry the odd spastic around with them from time to time.

Have you ever been in Limerick when Munster are playing, mate?
Try being ssshhhed in a pub by fans watching Ronan O Gara on tv taking a shot at goals even tho he is a few hundred miles away in England or where ever. Try listening (tho I havnât in years) to your local radio station pumping out nothing but Munster propaganda 24/7 and every local newspaper or shop cashing in it too to the extent that everyone just assumes you are Munster to the core. Try listening to bints banging on about a game that they have no knowledge about and are only out and about in the jersey to be seen and then have football or GAA turned off to facilitate this utter cretins.

Try Paul OâConnell being supermanâŚThe All BLacks⌠the Myths, the legends⌠Try Rubgy being an absolutely second rate game full of fucking cunts who either spent time getting juiced up are on some sort of performance enhancer. Try a backward and uneducated mentality -A lady I work with has her 17 year old coming home demanding money for creatine because his coach told him he needed it-âŚ
If I was to say how I really felt on it tho I could be here all day and my choice of words would not be very PC.
Iâve stated many times Iâve nothing against real rugby men, and I know a good few- they are all good AIL clubmen and not many of them have time for Munster or the provincial game.
ChocolateMice - excellent post up until the last paragraph / sentence; âreal rugby football menâ are horrible cunts also.

Yep. Iâm a Leinster fan to be honest and Iâve had some tough times over the years with Munster lads getting stuck in about âLeinster Ladyboysâ etc. Itâs been a bit easier since we got our revenge in 2009 though.
I understand what youâre saying about the bandwagon nature of some of the support - but every successful team gets that - youâd get some contrast every year with lads looking for all-ireland tickets for their counties big day out vâs the no at a league game in Feb. Munster supporters got a bit too carried away with the âPassionâ and âHonestyâ craic but to be honest Iâve assumed that was just a Munster-culchie thing as you get similar guff out of Cork lads re being the Rebel county, âblood and bandageâ, Kerry being the Kingdom and soul of football, Clare and the curse etc, etc.
why are people dragging football into this
a billion people play football
100,000 play rugby
10,000 play gga
dont compare them
