Everyone saw the match today, a game between Kerry and Dublin is unmissable.
[QUOTE=āSidney, post: 1100479, member: 183ā]Itās like this.
Back when most people on this forum were growing up, rugby was there, but it was a fringe pursuit and mainly laughed at.
The game had a certain charm. You could admire the exciting running of Trevor Ringland, Hugo MacNeill and Simon Geoghegan, you could warm to the maverick, devil may care attitude of Willie Duggan, Neil Francis and even, for a time, Mick Galwey as they gallantly mullocked forward in those ridiculous boots that covered half their shins. You could laugh at the hilariously shit passing of Michael Bradley. You could listen to the dulcet tones of Fred Cogley. You could appreciate that Lansdowne Road was quite an atmospheric place, as Molly Malone echoed around before the inevitable French fightback to win comfortably.
Some of us may have watched Five Nations matches, may have mildly enjoyed them, and some of us may have even briefly played the game. It wasnāt offensive. But we quickly forgot about it because there were other and better things to do or be interested in.
Now the game consists of Carr Communications-trained corporate robots who are thrust in our face 24/7, who say nothing of interest and create even less of interest on the pitch in a game which has become a bish, bash, bosh, fall over in a heap, kick aimlessly, repeat x 1000 dirge, played by steroid-ridden, muscle bound freaks who bench press 60kg with their jaw, played in front of brainwashed corporate tossers whose favourite band is Coldplay, in silent, soulless caverns where the only atmosphere is the one created by machines which throw flames high into the air, and where the mindless mediocrities who follow the game and whose only other interests are walking aimlessly around Ikea and watching X-Factor canāt and wonāt stop talking rubbish in normal peopleās faces at the water cooler or in the lift about a game theyāve never played and know nothing about because itās the cool but yet completely bland, neutral and inoffensive thing to talk about. Well itās not fucking cool and it never will be.[/QUOTE]
Lovely post.
The father-in-law says today during the match
āIf we could only convert more GAA players to rugby weād have some teamā
āOr possibly convert rugby players to GAAā I suggested. He just looked at me blankly, couldnāt fathom the idea of it :mad:

a cuntish conversation from both quarters there. sad to see franās new edgier persona doesnt extend offline
Or because the GAA had a ban in place.:rolleyes:
In future, can someone please alert me if there is a likelihood that Ireland are to beat England in this āsportā. In conversation with an english client today, I totally missed the opportunity to rip the shite out of the pommy bastard. He even emailed me afterwards to ask if I was ok, so taken aback was he at the lack of piss take. I feel I have failed in some way. I did casually mention the cricket a number of times of course.
Dead right Tim. Bring back the ban 
Has anyone used my āaerial dominanceā line yet? Itās going down a treat for me.
Iāve thrown out the phrase ādominating the breakdown was key to our win yesterdayā. No-one has disagreed with me yet even though I donāt really understand what Iām saying.
And so its startedā¦ as I filled my pint glass of water.
Colleague A - āDid you see the match yesterday?ā
KP - āNo, I didnātā
Colleague - āHow come?ā
KP - āDidnāt get around itā
Awkward silenceā¦ Colleague B then enters the fray and rescues the situation for Colleague A who has burning desire to talk about the match. As I left the room they were salivating about the kicking game and how good we are at it and how colleague B went to the same secondary school as Hensonā¦ sorry Henshaw.

Jesus fucking christ ā¦ Iāve had enough. Iām taking a break from the internet for a while or shit like this will send me right over the edgeā¦ Iāve said it before, i know plenty of real rugby men and they donāt carry on like thisā¦ these cretins, like @Fitzy and his cricket, hurt my head. Take care.
ānot really a rugby fanā is my preferred answer
I know a rugby referee who said he cannot watch games in pubs anymore as he knows the rules (insofar as that is actually possible) and is left seething at the comments from the other viewers who clearly have no idea about the rules of the game
what about the 20000 limerick hurling supporters who cried their eyes out in the GG in their replica goalkeepers jerseys and made up songs about Ritchie McCarthy but who to this day couldnt find the pitch in Kilmallock?
do these utter cretinous cunts hurt your head also?
have a think about that while you are on your break like a good lad.
To rugby and cricket Noble sports that lead to outcomes like this

You couldnāt miss the pitch in Kilmallock all the same as itās in the centre of the town. But point taken.
I donāt get it
The work conversations at the water cooler will be a bit more bearable this Monday morning.
