Probably one for the unpopular opinion thread, but here it goesâŚ
Munster final is better off on a Saturday evening. Makes for better atmosphere, as more people will be allowed consume alcohol with more people being off the next day and a bigger attendance.
Its going to sell out anyway. The atmosphere has always been electric when itâs on Sundays and having it on a Saturday wont change that. I wouldnt be surprised if there is a bit of trouble or a few skirmishes and Joe Duffy is talking about it Monday.
Its lunacy. I dont mind having 2 AI semi finals one weekend with one on a Saturday. Thats a great idea but munster finals are an institution and should be an immovable feast.
Nah⌠thereâs a very unsavory crowd of youngsters following them currently. Chalk n cheese to the older Cork supporters who are probably the soundest bunch you can meet. Every county has wankers but thereâs a very noticeable nastiness to this cohortâŚ
The Limerick crowd certainly has a few animals alright⌠all country lads. The Limerick city lads are all salt of the earth types.
Ever since I started going to games in the early 80s thereâs been an âunsavouryâ element following the Cork hurlers, they used to congregate under tje city end scoreboard and called themselves âthe city endâ back in the day
Itâs the same with every county really, youâre probably on the wind up but the young lads youâre on about are no different to Limerick young lads
I had an 80 year old Tipp man ( bro in lawâs father) say to me recently that in all his years going to games the current Cork crowd are the worst he has ever seen.
And to my eye it seems to be a load of middle class Douglas types .
Thatâs a load of shit, he was probably a messer himself when he was a young fella
Everything is different nowadays anyway, maybe the soccer influence, cheering wides etc, I donât understand that, not to mind an 80 year old
But if you think the Cork crowd are worse than anyone else youâre only fooling yourself, people are the same all over
My auld lad the same vintage. He said something similar to me recently, and Iâve noted on here before how in awe of the Cork crowd he usually is. But he said he heard there was a âbad crowdâ following them. Now, he might be getting that off theLimericks at the golf clubâŚ
OK, Iâve decided to bite tonight for some unknown reason
Do these elderly people feel unsafe going to matches, what exactly is the difference? Young lads drunk at matches and acting the fool is nothing new and the Cork crowd are no different to your own crowd, or the Limerick crowd
