Why is Rugby So Annoying?

@Fagan ODowd

A junior B footballer in Carlow. That’s about as far down the GGA food chain as you can get and yet the rugby crowd would have you believe this chump is a world class athlete.

Junior C Special would be further down pal

I thought it was a random fat junior footballer, and that the joke was about how some junior footballers are. It turns out this was not so. This disappoints me.

It was a random fat junior footballer. A world class rugby footballer though, apparently.

Imagine throwing him onto an inter-county football team, he’d be lost. You could stick any of the Dublin footballers on the wing for Ireland and they probably wouldn’t look out of place. Cluxton could even take the kicks.

I dunno but celebrated footballing genius Ja Fallon couldn’t get a contract out of Connacht.

Connacht.

I thought you knew more about sport. That’s pretty dumb.

[caoimhaoin]

The fact is the rugby crowd I know have great respect for the GAA, the games and the commitment the players and coaches have to it.

Ye would do well to learn a few things from them.

The most ignorant post I’ve ever read. The random fat junior footballer Sean O’Brien body fat percentage would be what inter county players would dream off.
I can guarantee you if MD MacAuley or either of the two Brogan’s were put on the wing for Ireland, they would be look well out of place. I can tell you from past experience it is a lot easier to kick a round ball over the bar than a rugby ball between the post. Cluxton would have serious problems with it. So less of the sensational bullshit comments please, your only embarrassing yourself.

Why is he so fat, then?

Yeah, probably because they don’t look like they’re entering the World Bodybuilding Championship.

It’s a lot easier to kick a rugby ball, mate. I could easily kick a rugby ball over the bar off the ground from 30 yards when I was 14, I couldn’t kick a football over the bar off the ground from that distance. And Stephen Cluxton doesn’t get to use a tee kicking frees.

cluxton is a LOI reject

I’m getting very tired of the rugby crowd’s constant regular posing with hurleys / turning up for a training session at a junior B football team etc photo-oppurtunity attempts to ingratiate themselves with GAA people. This shit is lapped up by simpletons on social networking websites.

Pretty sure it was the GAA Club in Argentina responsible this time but you point stands in general.

Of course its a bigger problem than rugby, every cunt of note who arrives to Ireland’s shores gets a hurley shoved into his hand and is told smile for the camera. The GAA’s desire for acceptance from the wider community is shockingly embarrassing.

I saw a photo last week entitled “The J1ers have arrived” of some lads in Chicago pucking a ball about. One of them seemed to have over indulged and was getting sick “Hurling while Hurling”

Sickening stuff.

+1. You could easily see the likes of Jack McCaffrey walking all over the Irish rugby team whereas you would never see, say a mid-level rugby player in his thirties go back playing bogball after a 15 year break and walk onto the panel of one of the best teams in the country.

Mid-level rugby player?

He was a full international for one of the “top 8” teams in the world. He’s also probably dog useless and the sign of a desperate manager trying anything to win their first All Ireland in over 60 years.
