I knew you wouldnât let me down
I loves me county.
Should have a stream for Munster game. Will post closer to kick off.
Your alright mate
@gilgamboa I was speaking with a staunch Munster supporter on Friday. He was seething at the coverage and double standards at play. In particular he expressed his ire at Stephen Ferrisâs comments. Maybe its been mentioned already but he said Ferris played in an Ulster side that was captained by a convicted drugs cheat?
Did you post this exact thing before?
He did a fella called carla del fava an italian. Now I remeber del fava well and remember him captaining ulster but tbh never knew hed served a drugs ban til this week. I think fellas getting worked up about the media treatment of their team is the biggest waste of energy of all time. Who gives a fuck unless your being led by the nose by the media?
Some of the coverage gave me a laugh alright, like OTB saying this had âcontaminated the Munster brandâ ffs go and fuck yourselves and your wank talk.
Did amuse me alright that all the Leinster fans and media were giving it holly about Munster bringing in two teens from SA into the academy. Then the other day its announced that Leinster had signed a lad from Hawaii whos barely played rugby and straight into academyâŚnot a dickie bird about it
Getting up on your high horse because your pro sports team has a moral superiority over another is a fair fools errand because sooner or later they will all revert to the mean
Did I ?
I only saw the photos of those two other academy lads now. Philip Browne was on the radio the other night and seemed to suggest âthe environmentâ Grobalar had trained in South Africa was an issue. Itâs a bit odd then they would go sign another two juiced up looking players from the same âenvironmentâ
Was a very very poor misstep from Browne. Never seen him as rattled as he was the other day. Most of the project players are from SA and Ulster have a good scatter of them too. Was stupid comment (even if there was an element of truth in it).
It would have been far better to say that these SA players want to come to Ireland because of the better player welfare systemâŚtwo birds with one stone
TBF Id say he had fuck all to do with the Grobler signing but because Nucifora is out of the picture for now and possibly the foreseeable he had to deal with the fall out, and in circumstances he couldnât hang Nucifora out to dry for it either.
Ah the media lads were having a field day with the young SA academy lads as well. Hilarious that they have ignored Leinster doing similar
Bollox. I was just settling down to watch it.
There are some Munster players who should probably say nothing at all on the matter
Itâll be bedlam inside there. Fellas on the beer since 11:30.
Will this be on TV now?
Rogbee fans are fairly mild
Go out for a walk for yourself.
In general you are spot on but these are from the troubled estates of Limerick . I hope sense prevails .
I think thereâs a degree of truth in that. However, Munster and more particularly Munster fans spent the best part of a decade plus telling anyone within earshot that they were more than an ordinary sports team, âMunster by the grace of Godâ, âBest Supporters in the worldâ etc etc. In that time they were quite happy to sicken the hole of every other rugby fan in Ireland, fans of other sports (Limerick hurling etc) âŚ
If you set yourself as being above the rest then when you deviate from those standards you can expect to be called on it. It was a shocking descision by Munster and all the whataboutery, âDublin meejaâ whining and hysterical self-pity canât take from that. Deep down most Munster fans know that and as they are the most self-righteous of all sports fans know that if it was any other club their views would be substantially different.
