Questions for the SFI

[Lamps]

Imagine if the GAA were an international sport and the like of Larry and Shay ended up overseas playing their beloved game...im sure that when they turned 30 and hung up the boots they'd be back home in Kildare with their families

Does Ronan O Gara represent "norries"?

Seeing as the northside is full of Munster flags and jersies in shop / pub windows I guess he does !

Where are all the munster players from knocka and the glen?
Why did the examiner report 30000 when it was nearer 7000?
Can anyone spot any difference between what Larry Tompkins/Shea Fahy did and Cullen?

again another utterly useless post from one of the stars of this show. Ive already spelled out your point about Tompkins/fahey v cullen which is pretty obvious.

He will never be satisfied.




Never.

Looks like the jocks have been rumbled and rattled once more. Scurrying for cover.

A few direct questions, the oldest trick in the book to expose such charlatans

That is one long thread to try get thru from start to finish

What do these questions have to do with the thread; of which you have failed to answer the original question?

O'Gara represents munster.
The fact that there may not be norries on the team only has to do with the fact that someone has achieved the standard required to be selected for the team.
Where is this 7000/30000 question coming from? How do you know how man people were there exactly, did you sit at the edge of the city with a clicker?
Don't know much about GAA so have no idea what Larry & Shea did.

So a professional team try to make money in order to pay their players and try maintain a place amongst Europes top teams? Every sport out there tries to profit from their activities through marketing and sales of merchandise. It's what keeps sports/clubs/teams going (and don't try kid yourself, it happens in even the smallest of local amature clubs).

Growing numbers from all over munster begin supporting the same team from the region. People are enjoying watching the team. More youngsters are starting to play the sport. The atmosphere at all the matches is always unbelievable, even down in Musgrave Park at the magners league games. The team are doing extremely well on an international level. Now for some reason I fail to see the bad side of this.

This SFI seem to love patting each other on the back and pretend that they are succeeding in an argument; intriguing bunch they are.

I sense an iminent exposure of epic proportions.

Go easy on him Lamps, I know he's blotted his copybook, but it was a schoolboy error and after all he's new here.

just read the Munster homecoming thread

[ANVIL]

It does seem that some young buck newbies are prepared to challenge the hoary old 10k+ posters on here.
I haven't seen anything like it since that Frog fella got stuck in a few weeks back.
Is this purely a football v rugby debate or is there a wider context here ?
Either way 'tis fine sport for us baying jackals at the Colosseum.

Many have tried and all have failed, someday I hope to have a day or two spare and I'll pick the wings of a few of these lads.

Still avoiding my stock questions too.

These noobs don't know what they're dealing with. This current crop are no different to those that preceded them. All talk and fancy notions at the start, but as time ticks on they'll drop off one by one until a couple of bitter ones are left, who'll spend their days talking about hair and combs.

[3pointplay]

It seems that ould Lamps is trying to Make it into a class debate or is that his old trick? Am Not a Muster fan or gaa fan in the true sense of the word, But the way i look at it is if supporting Munster stops Joe Bloggs from the southside from robbing cars and burning them it out up in Fair Hill then grand let him jump on the bandwagon.
I think with kid Lamps it's a case of Mammy and Daddy getting everything little Southside boy wanted. Would explaine a lot about him.

[#11sully]

Sure didn't he have sponsorship on his hurley. Not dissing the guy. If he can make a few bob for doing something he loves the fair play to him.

Look at you besmirching Sean ógs name, you should be ashamed of yourself, the amount of hours he puts in for nothing for the benifit of us all. disgusting
I suppose you didn't see the above part of my post so I better highlight it for you.

what a roasting the jocks are getting today, let them fock off the Limerick and get a free BMW off Frank Keogh motors

Gowan ya tosspot. What kind of a fuktard comment is that :lol!: :lol!:

You still haven't answered my questions.
1. What is wrong with a bandwagon? From the very first post.
2. How is it so wrong to support your own province or country?

I think you call it

Case closed I think. 8-)

Same as all folk of garrison stock, they're a wee bit dodge alright.

Get a touch of it up around Dillon's Cross as well, mind. ;)

Us culchies are the only nice people really.

1. Day-trippers cannot be relied on once times get tough, which mean revenue drops dramatically which in turn make it difficult regain lost ground.

2. You should support your local club before you support a province. What kind of person would support a team that represents 5 counties other than their own, when they have a local club on your doorstep. Glory hunters, that's who.

You're not wrong, look at poor Cork Shitty last night, 292 fans. I'd say there was twice that in the Evergreen alone watching ManYoo.

[alive_and_sleeping]

Irish soccer supporters are a completely different ball game, they prefer supporting soccer teams across the waves and as a result there isn't an Irish soccer team with the ability of competing internationally. Maybe if they went the way of rugby and had provincial sides we might stand a better chance of seeing Irish soccer compete at the top end of things.

Anyway the fact of the matter is that Munster are still a local side. The people in munster support munster. You can't say that the supporters are bandwagoneers until there is a downturn in the success of munster and when that happens maybe you might turn out to be right. Although I reckon your suggestions are going to be blown out of the water if and when that happens. We'll have to wait and see.

1. Sure aren't those "day-trippers" going to games for the past 10 years and there have been plenty of tough times then. It is those "day-trippers" that make the so called 16th man. This in turn 99% of the time make those away games feel like a home games. Just look at the last two games for example.

2. Fully agree with you on supporting your local team first. Then your county, province, country.
Last time I checked Munster had 6 counties.

List out your loyalties there for the laugh Sully850?

Were you one of the 292 down the cross last night?

1. What tough times have munster gone through in the past 10 years? Lets not forget ulster won the HC not too long ago, where are all the die hards that filled lansdowne rd that day? They haven't been seen near ravenhill since 2000 i'd say. As for the "16th" that's nothing more than marketing hype, designed to make worthless glory hunters think that they've part of the team because they've bought a jersey. It's like when you're playing soccer and everyone takes it easy on the special needs guy so he feels better about himself.

2. I said 5 counties other than your own. 5+1=6. Try to keep up.

The way that Arish rogby teams compete at the top end of things?

Like Arland did in the Rogby "World" Cup, is it?

Read it again ATS, it was a reference to getting larger provincial teams so they could possibly compete at standard such as munster. I never said anything about the national squad, but anyway I'm fairly happy with the way they compete they had an unlucky year, but I'm not going to stop supporting my own country because of a dodgy year.

[DogTheLangerHunter]

Munstershire is an example of crass commercialism: take a franchise, (in this case an entry into the Heineken "European" Rugby Cup) and build a brand around a team that can be entered into it.

Not a club with roots in the community like Cork Constitution, or Shannon, or Saracens, or Toulouse: no, invent a franchise, build a brand, and get as many people as possible to buy into the fallacy that this is somehow a "local team."


Then market the aforesaid amalgam of players from different clubs as somehow contenders for a European championship, even though only three sovereign countries, (Ireland, UK, and France) bother to compete in it, and then spew millions and millions of column inches of self congratulatory horseshit about "loyalty," and "heart," and "ordinary working men," and sprinkle liberally with cliches about "never say die," and hopefully you will convince enough people to part with enough money for you to be able to pay yourself a nice salary as a brand manger for the resultant steaming pile of horsemanure.


Hopefully a real club from a real city can smash this charade to pieces on May 24th. Toulouse exists, it is real, it has tradition, and it is not something dreamt up by a marketing guru who recognised that Limerick was too small and decided to broaden the franchise area to include the cities of Cork and Waterford in order to generate more money. Sadly, there seem to be plenty of moronic idiots living in Cork who are quite willing to be led along this road to "European Glory" blissfully unaware of just how they are being exploited.

It's late to be saying it,but fantastic post.

But the provincial "team" isn't competing at the highest level. It's involved in a cup competition against teams from the UK, and bits of France.

By the way a country normally has a flag and an anthem, the "Ireland" rugby team has neither when it plays "at the highest level."

It is the highest standard of club rugby in Europe. If you can find a european competition of a higher standard please say so.

And Ireland's Call- yes a slightly controversial song but adopted as the anthem to help keep both the players from the north and republic happy.

Its always those without class that go on about it the most as they say.

distinct lack of class about this sneering
