[Bandage]

What’s with the amount of fuckwits driving around with Munster rugby football flags hanging out of their car windows?

it is a fact that he has a chip on his shoulder, he’s been bleeting on like this for years.
Someone needs to explain to the man the phrase ‘each to their own’.

you could pick just about any sport and do a hatchet job on it and its followers like he has done if you wanted to. Nothing is perfect, everything does not appeal to everyone.
[size=5]Personally im suspect of 20stone men going on and on and on about underage camogie but each to their own.[/size]

he has become a lazy writer, maybe he’s looking for a bit of a wind up, a pity he was good once.

bandage im willing to give you this as an exclusive for tfk, i expect nothing in return.
you will do well to find anyplace else who called this 2 years before it became public.

I’m no great lover of plenty of aspects of rugby but it’s a cracking sport and should be judged on its own merits.[/quote]

Cracking reading on this thread!

Most interestingly the earlier posts here would indicate SS didn’t always hate rugby! What went wrong at all I wonder

There is a subtlety to my relationship with rogbee Dan. I still sometimes even enjoy watching the odd international game I just have no time whatsoever for the myth-making, contrived, jumped-up, ignorant, mercenary, full-a-shite, bandwagoneering, ‘Tis your field Bull’ shitehawkery associated with Munster Rogbee.

[KinvarasPassion]

I remember an excited Cork man turning to me in the Adelaide Oval in 2003 when the Irish rogbee team were lining up for the anthem and he asking me, how do you think we’ll do? It gave me great satisfaction to turn to him and say in a drunken slur, you know I couldn’t really give a fuck.

fuck rogbee.

Either do I. Still love the game though

@SHANNONSIDER

Tis your field Bull

This phrase pisses me off like no other. What’s it even supposed to mean? And where does it come from? It most certainly doesn’t come from the film and it’s a long time since I read the play but don’t recall in that either.

It’s a play on the Bull McCabe catchphrase ‘it’s my field’ I presume? The ‘tis’ is so everyone know they’re salt of the earth bogmen. Bit like the way lads here talk about drinking tae on the bog and the likes

I have always greatly respected your jaundiced view of the current provincial rugby paradigm in this country and your own playing career as openside flanker with Cork Con.

It is possibly the most chillingly inane phrase in sport.

What has happened to Humphries? I haven’t seen anything he has written in ages, has he gave up the writing or what?

I think it was actually a pen-name and he was Jimmy Saville all along, hence the silence since last year
