The Anti-Rugby Football Thread

very important member of the team even if the lads liked to wind you up now and again (or all the time).

Still love the story about you and Donnacha (think it was him) being locked in the bathroom of your hotel room while washing rugby balls by the lads. Using a resistance band over the handle of the bathroom door and then over the room door (slamming it shut) was genius.

what

[caoimhaoin]

1.i said parents are good, but your insane rush to fight missed that. I would say anything more temoved than parents should disqualify you.
2. If a son arrives after living in Oz for 20 years i would tell him play for Australia. And again, he would be first generation.

You stupid cunt.

Very simplistic view of things, McGeady plays for Ireland because he feels Irish, it’s in his blood and what he identifies with. Who are you to judge someone on what nationality they are?

Coming from a GAA county which is associated with taking players from other counties you have a cheek.

Where’s Billie Joe Padden from?

[Nembo_Kid]

You ought to become more developed in stating your case as there are no links to the point you are trying to make.

Do you have a problem with the Irish rugby team selecting players under grandparent or residency rules?

Bearing in mind that the Irish rugby team has historically used these rules far, far less than the Eire association football team.

I’m not stating a case. I’m asking a question, the point being not to be throwing stones from your glass house.

Where was Brian Smiths granny from @Sidney

[Nembo_Kid]

No.

I just have a problem with the innate servile nature of the West Brit rugby football team.

[Sidney]

Which granny?

[Nembo_Kid]

Your point is invalid as I didn’t comment on my own opinion of such practices, I merely enquired about Kevin’s opinion on his own county’s use of taking in outsiders when he was moaning about the diaspora playing for Ireland.

As I said, develop your argument so they at least have a connection to the base point.

@Nembo_Kid

No.

Good. That’s a start.

Brian Smiths granny.

The residency rules in rugby are a farce and make a complete mockery of the game. But still that doesn’t hold a candle to the unparalleled ineptitude of the Irish team yesterday. I’m still giddy about it. What a spectacular collapse.

[Nembo_Kid]

Don’t need to, I like having principles.

Brian Smiths granny.

Maternal or paternal?

Fixed that for you, pal.

Christ, that’s lame. You need to take a little break.
