November Rugby Internationals (On the sesh with the Goys)

I believe Kev rang Joe Duffy at the time canvassing support for his wicked campaign.

[quote=“caoimhaoin”]There was plenty of talk about it, Larry just seems a little upset about a milk ad.
The fact that some tool rang a talk show about this considering everything else thats going on is unbelievable, and shows what bitter backward total fucking idiots live in this country.[/quote]

Would you also condemns folk who rang up complaining that Irelands Call is sung before every rugby international? Southern false patriotism is alive and well and while Joe Duffy’s show isn’t the best platform it is a valid discussion point.

:smiley:

WTF is false patriotism?
Is it fellas in Celtic jerseys abusing “Brits”?

The south as we know it, is suffering from people going over the boarder to shop, maybe they are using the guy to promote products bought with the Euro, remember, its a different monetary system up there.
ireland comes together for a sport, thats all, its sport. Many an Ulster man has promoted things that are branded “Northern Ireland”, tourism is one that jumps to mind.

Who gives a fuck? only bitter chip on their shoulder Ulster men who still can’t get over that Munster and Leinster are now better than them at rugby. Its pathetic, and i’ve heard it at games and in bars around CP and LR before.

Get over yourselves.

How dare you bring Leinster into this. Myself and my family, Leinster people, are appalled by O’Connell’s disgracefully self serving yet damaging actions.

Not sure if there was a new thread set up for these, this one will do for now anyway.

Paul O’Connell is the new Irish Rugby Captain.

That has the look of a team that could very well be beaten by Samoa. Toner :confused:

Nevermind that, Ulster have 4 players on it :o

Jonny Sexton misses out due to “flexor tightness”.

A great day for the cookies…

what??

Joe showing the Leinster bias already, 15 of the 23 from Leinster. Good to see O’Connell get the captaincy, Heaslip is a detestable creature.

Anti-semite

@Anto , what munster lads should have made it?
Backline doesn’t look up to much apart from the incomparable Tommy Bowe.

I’d have DOC and Tuohy starting before those 2 locks, Kilcyone and McGrath is close but he went with the Leinster man. Marshall should be ahead of Darcy, Marmion from Connacht should be ahead of Reddan and Trimble should be in front of McFadden.

Surely @MarkRenton is not actually Jonny Sexton?

POC being made captain… Super man has officially gone into hiding.
