im only repeating what my sources tell me mate

1991

Could you try to be a bit more discerning in posting what your sources tell you please.

1992

I theorize they used the media to shaft him.

All it did was set them back 2 years

1993

100%

1994

Donncha Ryan has been given the Boxer in Animal Farm treatment here.

In other news Gerry Thornley reports today that Munster Rugby is on its uppers and is on financial life support from the IRFU.

Irish people being replaced by cheap immigrant labour, you’ll have that in any unskilled sector unfortunately.

Nothing new in the article, in fact Gerry doesn’t seem that informed himself.

1999

That’s hardly news?

2000

PR war, be nice if this heats up.

2001

Yea you’re right. It’s starting to mirror the soccer ball method of recruitment for the free state

2002

How is that mate?

2003

The free state soccer ball team don’t have and never did have centrally contracted players bud, not a mirror I’m afraid.

Is this Saffer lad of Irish heritage?

2005

@iron_mike trying to gobble up the crumbs from the rugby football table with his false equivalence is pretty embarrassing at this stage.

Sure his 1st name is Quinn, he’s as Irish as the Blarney Stone.

2007

Nice bit of fake news there. He said no such thing you rascal

  1. Gerry hasn’t a clue what’s going on
  2. He said that Munster were being unfairly treated vs Leinster who get approx 3 m wage subvention from IRFU for their 8 centrally contracted players vs Munsters 3.
  3. Appears Ryan was offered 300k from Munster which included some form of top up from IRFU albeit not central contract level. He is getting 100k + a year more from racing
  4. Nothing is formalised yet. I don’t think he will stay nor do I think Munster and IRFU should go to that salary level for a 33 year old lock. As much as I like Ryan
2008

All part of a cyber bullying campaign against our good friend @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, disgusting if you ask me.
