What the fuck is wrong with these people?

A series of nonsense stories about how he was a great leader and so on. Iām sure he was but has there ever been as much bullshit?
Hopefully the demise of Twitter is close at hand.

The āPaulieā shit drives me spare. As if every cunt in Ireland knows him personally. Iām sure his mates call him Paul anyway.
We call him Paulie.

I watched the video of Paulie getting into the car. It was one of the better videos Iāve seen of an injured fella getting into a car, I have to admit. Well worth a look.

The comments are pretty good too. One guy said āGone, but NEVER to be forgotten.ā He got 14 āthumbs upā. Iād say one or two of those were from grammar nazis that appreciated the use of the comma for added effect. Most likely, the other 12 or 13 were from miserable cunts that feel itās appropriate to write epitaphs for a still fucking alive rogby player.

Paul OāConnell is a giant among men and heās up there with the best athletes weāve ever produced. At times he carried Ireland through games. Itās a sad in the manner in which it has ended but he has been a fantastic servant to the national side. His injury is a big blow for our Rugby World Cup hopes. Considering the amount of injuries we had on Sunday, the boys that came in did unbelievable and really helped the team.
This week will be different for the players in that they will know in advance if they are in Joe Schmidtās plans. That is a hell of a lot harder than being sprung from the bench at a momentās notice. I remember speaking to Davy Fitz and he told me he only let Shane OāDonnell know he was starting the All-Ireland Hurling Final Replay in 2013 45 minutes before the game because he didnāt want to bring that pressure of knowing he was going to start through on Thursday or Friday.
Knowing youāre starting is a burden, it can drag you down and drain you. I hate sitting on the bench if I know Iām the only option the gaffer has. I like the underdog mentality and the shock of āOh Iām coming on here, I better work my socks off.ā Shane OāDonnell is a prime example, he had no time to be nervous, he had no time to think about it and he went out there and banged in a hat-trick in an All-Ireland Final which is something special.
Iain Henderson similarly came in and played a stormer on Sunday. Fingers crossed he can carry that confidence and momentum into this weekās game. That will definitely be needed because Ireland canāt take Argentina lightly. They are a quality team and will give them the respect they deserve even though Ireland will probably be favourites. One of the fall-downs from English teams is the hype about them being favourites for this and that. The expectation of a nation is a heavy burden to carry. Fingers crossed Ireland donāt feel the same pressure on Sunday and can do the business.
Iāve never heard of him but nevertheless its sad when someone dies playing their hobby.
