Up for the match

[J.R.R. hartley]

Fair dues, well I do and guess where I post about Munster and Ireland rugby games.

Yes that's right, in the Sports Forum.

I have no idea why this thread is even in the Langers forum.

I don't think I have ever posted in any of the GAA threads, unless of course it was to wind them up.

So why is this thread here ?

If it was not I would not be arsed posting to it.

Rise above it, m8.

Grown ups think for themselves and don't feel they have to be part of a herd.

Actually I've come around to your way of thinking. The herd are the same as Munster Rugby supporters.

Really, supporting professional sports people ?
You know where the Munster thread is.

Mattie I don't have the Interest or time now to multi quote so you will have to suffer the following;

Should support them ? Yes absolutely, if I knew any of the players, I didn't and I don't follow the sport. I woke up at 4 pm and soon after headed out for a bite to eat. I had again no interest in the sport or the game and am not part of that herd.

You support them because they are your county team. Not because you know them.

I spent a long time on here, captivated at the reaction of various posters reactions to my audacity at not supporting or following something I have no interest in.

You care so little about it that you can't stop talking about it. Sure...

My flawed logic is what ? That I feel better as an individual that I have not got that herd / cult type mentality?

You specifically asked me a few posts back was I from Cork. Are you now denying that?

You were pretending that you weren't from Cork.

As regards my own opinion on soccer, I don't like that either. I have no interest in Cork City FC.

Grown ups think for themselves and don't feel they have to be part of a herd.

Grown ups don't resort to trolling so juvenile that a 12 year old would be embarrassed by it.

Brilliant game!!

Was it though? Great excitement, end to end stuff, result in the balance for ages in a very tight game certainly. BUT there were some very poor wides on both sides. I mean woeful ones when it seemed easier to score. The officiating was inconsistent too to say the least. And I know we lost very narrowly after extra time but I think it a shocking way to decide such a prestigious game - a bit akin to settling a football match on penalties.
Good luck to Clare, for a great hurling county like them one couldn't begrudge them a 5th title given some of the greats over the decades but I don't get the huge hype written on the game tbh - especially given some of the officiating left a lot to be desired in what was such an extremely tight game - result changing decisions some might argue.

Maybe I'd feel different about the alleged quality of it had we won it but I don't think so.

Agreed, It was not the classic many say it was, Lots of poor shooting,

Shame you have to resort to lies Mattie.

You might please point out where it was that I was " pretending that I was not from Cork "

Go right ahead.

I fear this is the Cult thing in your head being exposed.

I can't stop talking about what?

You realise my point here is herd mentality and not necessarily a match ?

You invented a herd mentality so that you could be offended by it.

It doesn't exist in reality.

Of course it doesn't, you keep telling yourself that.

Now would you care to please point out where it was that I pretended to not be from Cork ?
