A lot of lads switched nations because of the fuck acting by clubs. They done it literally to put food on their tables. They came from absolutely nothing. I’ve little or nor issue with it.
I don’t have an issue with individuals doing it. Completely understandable though I think that John Cooney stuff was embarrassing.
The eligibility rules are balanced enough now.
I’m sorry you lost your bollox in bank shares mate.

You hate a sport.
That’s plain wrong.
Something about kpmg as well.
Why does it bother you mate?
I hate bananas, mushrooms and nanny state government policies too.
I believe the government is planning on making eating bananas mandatory to combat rampant potassium deficiency.
Because it’s so strange.
It’s sport.
Is there a date in 1879 that the IRFU was founded? They don’t seem to make much of their foundation story in the way that the GAA does?
December at Trinity college
I believe

Its funny the way all sports around the world sort of became organised all of a sudden around the late 1800’s.
Most EPL soccer teams were founded around the same time too.

Ah tisn’t really. Human advancement comes from people building on other people’s ideas.
It’s why the Beatles appeared in the early 1960s and not the late 1930s and why Voodoo Ray by A Guy Called Gerald appeared in 1988 rather than 1954.
It would so good however if some historian uncovered a codified professional sports league from, say, the 16th century.
“The Spanish Armada ultimately lost because too many of crew were more interested in getting back home to watch the big pigball clash of Madrid Ferdinands and Seville Isabellas in front of 50,000 people at the Alahambra. The English, who had no codified sport except rolling a massive block of cheese down a hill and running after it, had no such worries.”

Victorian leisure time as people moved away from a farming lifestyle.
The GGA was a few years later as Cusack copied what other organisations had done and was a control freak.
A grim realisation from many that the GGA are going down the same road as rubby with neglect of clubs and pay per view etc etc…
I remember there was a real anti rubby poster who used to spend all day every day slagging off Munster and Irish rubby…that was in the days when they would have done anything to divert attention away from the shambles that was Limerick hurling …well didn’t Limerick win the Munster final anyway after a shocking refereeing decision …as soon as that was pointed out said troll was on crying, snot cider and tears rolling down his face pleading with me not to take the enjoyment away from @thelimericks on their day of days…a commitment was made that they would stop slagging off Munster etc …it was gas…(and none of the promises were kept)
And @flattythehurdler thinks the rubby set are thin skinned
