Munstershire give the finger to Cork City FC

[Lamps]

Well well well. I just heard on good authority that City requested of Stade that they re-arrange their homecoming to facilitate their game tonight. Munstershire told them to fock off and mind their own business.

Is this what its coming to now people, native Cork teams being bullyboyed in their own town by Limericks finest and whats worse, a good deal of Cork people siding with the non-cork team? I'd like to hear Rebel Yell's opinion on the matter?

Pardon me now, but I'm off for a gawk.

[wayne gayle]

I dunno, I think it's a bit naive of City to expect a team that has just won a major European trophy in front of 80,000 people to put themselves out for a bunch of part-timers who usually play in front of a couple of thousand people.

I assume you refer to Munster as munstershire because you are of the opinion that it is an english sport. It is in fact the national sport of wales and new zealand but not english.
Soccer is the national sport in england.

Hang on a sec don't cork city play soccer?

Wasn't it City Hall who organised the homecoming though, not Munster. So I would imagine they would've been the wrong authority to contact for changing it.

Here is the paper of record's report :-

28 May 2008

Cork turns out in force for Munster’s ‘second coming’

By Sean O’Riordan and Eoin English
ALMOST 15,000 adoring Red Army worshippers thronged the streets of Cork last night to welcome home their Munster heroes and their “second coming” with the Heineken Cup.


On an extraordinary night of emotion, the province’s unique sporting legacy — which spans age groups, traditions and continents — witnessed Rua Tipoki perform the Haka and fly-half Ronan O’Gara sing De Banks on the podium.

This multi-cultural feast underlines all that is best in Munster rugby and why it attracts a diaspora of supporters from around the globe. They are honest, loyal and enjoy themselves whether they win, lose or draw.



The response from the fans to the O’Gara and Tipoki impromptu entertainment was chants of “Munster, Munster” and the oft-heard and uplifting Fields of Athenry anthem.

The Red Army supporters came to show their loyalty, and the players responded with an outpouring of affection which it seems no team in the world will ever replicate.

O’Gara, told a scrum of well-wishers at a City Hall civic reception that the essence of the Red Army supporters is that they never give up, even when the going is bad, and even after Ireland’s less than impressive World Cup performance.

Anthony Foley, who is bowing out more than gracefully from the intensity of heavyweight rugby encounters, saluted the diehards who stayed with the province when the results weren’t going their way.

“They just kept coming back and they gave us the belief in ourselves. It just brought us to another level,” said the man who will always be known as “Axel”.

Captain Paul O’Connell lavished praise on the men, women and children who followed the team through thick and thin.

“These days are for the fans,” he said with an emotional bite of the lip.

O’Connell added that the Red Army had spent huge money following his team throughout the competition, and the Munster squad were “overwhelmed” by their commitment.

Coach Declan Kidney summed it up by best by emphasising the mettle of the fans.

“We want to thank you all for your support when it didn’t go well. You only know your friends in the dark times,” he said.

As per usual the shy Kidney tried to spread the credit for a second Heineken Cup victory in two years around the backroom staff.

He rattled off a list of worthy names as the gathering in City Hall cheered each one, but there is only one Kidney and while his departure is going to be a huge loss to Munster, everybody in the room expressed the belief that he will put the steak back into the Ireland pie.

Gentleman giant Jim Williams, the Australian exile who was there to kick-start the Munster legend some years ago, looked on quietly from the background. Yet another solid, yet modest personality behind the scenes of what has become an extraordinary journey in sport.

He admitted to well-wishers that he was exhausted after three days of celebrations.

But he, along with the players, continued to smile and pose for countless photographs, and sign dozens of Munster shirts, match programmes and autographs books. Williams jumps on a plane this afternoon for London before catching a flight later for Sydney to take up the position of assistant coach with the Australian national squad.

With the formalities over, the team marched across the Lee to the stage where a sea of red was waiting for them. The crowd roared “Munster, Munster” as each team member took to the stage.

O’Gara was coaxed to sing a rather hoarse verse of De Banks.

The physiotherapists need to check out his larynx before the next game. It’s less likely to have been caused by a high tackle, than a high amount of vocal exercise following the nail-biting 16-13 victory over the supposedly imperious and unbeatable Toulouse at the Millennium Stadium last Saturday.

ROG, as he’s known amongst the players, also admitted that what happened in the closing seconds was dictated by the forwards.

He said that even with the chance of a penalty from well within his range, it was decided that a miss would give the ever-potent Toulouse the chance of a lethal counter-attack. They were capable of it, as was witnessed by Carl Haymens’ earlier escapade — they simply weren’t prepared to take the chance.

The team left the stage and walked the short distance to the Clarion Hotel where they were again mobbed by adoring fans.

As old rugby diehards chatted in the bar of their former glory days, the team retired upstairs for a private function with close family and friends.

The tv screens in the bar showed Ireland destroy the Barbarians — a sign of good times to come. Glory days to Kidney days, perhaps?

What a load of cack...homecomings like this are organised by the city council anyway...they drive the whole operation from security, timing, clean up and everything else so Munster rugby had little control over this...

Same for the returning all-Ireland winning teams or City winning the FAI cup etc...

Go search for it if you want to see my considered response, however the SFI's answer to it at the time was "you're making excuses". Well, no, I was just explaining a highly anomalous attendance. Which I thought I did pretty well. You disagreed, we chatted a while, I presented more stats. Which were promptly ignored, a few cliches were rolled out and then we all went home for the evening.

Mr. Webb Ellis who is credited with inventing the sport went to school in Warwickshire in England. A very good public school too, in the town of Rugby.


Rugby although a minority sport in England has been taken up by former colonies like New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and Australia, and also by neighbouring regions of the United Kingdom, Wales and Scotland.

France was an early convert to the game, along with soccer, not having a national sport of its own, apart from boules.

Its a shame that people cant be happy that at least one Irish team stands up and is counted on the international stage, instead they have to go and poke fun and ridiculous stereotypes.

How many matches have u been to?

If you even went to one you'd realise that most of the Munster fans are hardworking, country and city lads who give up their years holidays just to travel to the matches.

Cork City FC ltd is a completely independent company than Arkaga Limited. That investment company is beind used by a Cork Businessman to invest money into the club. Nothing more nothing less.

Calling Ireland a former colony is misleading

We were colonised by the British.

No misleading there.

We were a geographical area under the political control of a distant power.

End of.

From The History Department, UCC:

Colonisation
Colonisation was and is a process whereby one power places its people in another country to exert control over that country. This may often involve the forced displacement of the indigenous people (as it did when Britain colonised Ireland, for example). Alternatively, it may mean the use of some of the indigenous people to control the remainder of the population. The purpose of colonisation is always extractive, that is, it involves the extraction of resources from the colonised country. Usually this extraction is subject to conditions that are set solely by the colonising country.

We were invaded by the Brits and I look at them as such.
To regard us as a former colony accepts that they were rightly here in the first place, rather than a subjugating force which attempted to assimilate us into their kindgom

Fair play to him. He moved to Cork from San Fran and achieved great success here.

If he had moved to Cork, and then decided to represent a Limerick Franchise and then come back to Cork and sing De Banks to celebrate the triumph of that Limerick franchise the previous week, then it might be comparable. Danny Culloty won every football medal you can win with Cork.

We were invaded by the Brits and I look at them as such.
To regard us as a former colony accepts that they were rightly here in the first place, rather than a subjugating force which attempted to assimilate us into their kindgom

Are you sure you're not drunk?

[norrie rugger head]

Fair play to him. He moved to Cork from San Fran and achieved great success here.

If he had moved to Cork, and then decided to represent a Limerick Franchise and then come back to Cork and sing De Banks to celebrate the triumph of that Limerick franchise the previous week, then it might be comparable. Danny Culloty won every football medal you can win with Cork.

(Except Underage, he used to play with Shannon Rangers then.)

So if Roy or Denis sang te banks, they would get this treatment also?

[norrie rugger head]

Why do you not consider Scotland as a colony?

If Roy or Denis played Hurling for Manchester United against Cork, then yes.

By the way, your analogies are starting to give me the impression that you may be under the influence of mind altering substances.

[Actin The Sham]

Why do you not consider Scotland as a colony?

It is now a constituent part of "Great Britain."

We never accepted that, when we were colonised. We always looked at the invaders as colonisers, and Britain as a colonial power. If we had accepted them we would have been subjugated.


Like Scotland.

[ho chi feen]

Calling Ireland a former colony is misleading

Sorry nugghead, you're out of your depth here.

This is like me trying to lecture you on molecular biology.

Pity that we were still classed as part of the Kingdom and not a colony eh.
By the invading force themselves no less

They tried to assimiliate us into the kingdom not colonise us.
Now if you bring the plantations into it you may just have a proper argument

Read back, ten posts back to be exact:

Colonisation
Colonisation was and is a process whereby one power places its people in another country to exert control over that country. This may often involve the forced displacement of the indigenous people (as it did when Britain colonised Ireland, for example). Alternatively, it may mean the use of some of the indigenous people to control the remainder of the population. The purpose of colonisation is always extractive, that is, it involves the extraction of resources from the colonised country. Usually this extraction is subject to conditions that are set solely by the colonising country.

Fair enough, the rugby guys don't have a duty to promote soccer but i can't see why they couldn't have done this Monday, especailly seeing as loads of the players were in Cork Monday night on the piss

Shamrock Rovers is traditionally a huge homegate for City

fair play to Munster for winning and congrats (great achievement) but sometimes in have to agree that Cork seems to be an afterthought for those involved, it's more of a Limerick thing really

[cantankerous bastard]

If Roy or Denis played Hurling for Manchester United against Cork, then yes.

What happens in Limerick is no concern of mine, the best of luck to them.

Hopefully Cork will grow a pair as well, and pull out of this farce. The cracks are already beginning to show, and the lack of a franchise member based in Cork City will surely signal the beginning of the end in another year or two.
