A need for reflection - A leinster man

Hamo

In response to the tirade of abuse I took at the hands of Munster men I felt a need to respond but first I'll quote my mother who said, I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy, however I can't stand idly by after all success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed, Saturday Night my heroic leinster men had a major obstacle put in their way, of course you do know that it's men that make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skilful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better, this my friends is exactly what Munster did on Saturday night with the provision of said leadership

Having said that though you know Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And, what is more, they find it everywhere...we as a team (Leinster) are Magnanimous, we lift our spirits to new high's when threatened with adversity, indeed we are courageous...

I can only ask one and all to be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business, defeats in sport. Always society has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous, Leinster to will be avenged. To my brave and hearty Leinster colleagues I say Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward.... Leinster will have learnt a lesson, you know In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time, we pick our moments, we know when to be contrite, we live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths, In feelings, not in figures on a dial nor scores on a board, We count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best, and above all abides his time...... after all challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing, particularly when it comes from our Red cousins, remember this those who now feel superior..... A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury, for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it. We true Leinster clan forgive ye Red B's..........

As Wilson Woodrow once quoted (I think in reference to Leinster...)

"I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately triumph than to triumph in a cause that will ultimately fail"

my recollection of the match was that it was a leinsterman out to do injury - stamping heads and pulling hair.

Yeah great thinking, we'll just pop down the OH supermarket and see what we can pick up between now and Sunday.

:D:D.

Really resisting the temptation to start more provincial sh!te.

OP, you're just a poor version of Juvenal imo, no offence intended.

I want Dr. Phil to join Munster instead of Toulon, he really gets the TP crowd going tbh. LOL

Serenity Now!

Spoken like a manager in a Tokyo Nissan factory.
Methinks you take this game a tad too seriously, Hamo.

WTF, "tirade of abuse"??? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Could you explain that remark, I am confused, or are you just trolling? :mad::mad:

In fairness, its not the OP I was referring to.

I can see what he's trying to say. He loves his team and was proud of the effort put in on Saturday. So was I.

He's just being a little melodramatic about it.

Now lets close the thread before trousers fall and measuring tapes come out.

Let's just say graciousness is not a strong point of Munster fans - particularly in victory. I'd imagine the difference in the Horse show house wearing a Munster jersey after defeat and in Flannerys wearing a Leinster jersey after defeat are 2 very different things.

One set of fans from my experience has treated vistors extremely well, the other well - from personal experience has had f@ggot screamed at him in Thomond, told to put down my fu*king flag and get out and also told in the pub after the game to get the fu*k out and mocked with the chant it's a long way back to D4. It's a good thing I'm not sensitive - but the Munster "fan" has evolved greatly since the taste of sucsess unfortunately. I just hope the same doesn't happen for Leinster if / when they taste simular succsess.

The shame is Munster have some of the greatest fans in the world, but the clueless pikey who thinks he's at a celtic / rangers game is creeping in all too readily. I'm only waiting for my next trip of surprises to Limerick to see if I get bottled or stabbed. Alas...that's the future to look forward to...

(none of this happend in Flannerys by the way for the record, another nightclub around the corner, smy... anywhoo - in a bunch of 5 of us going into Flannerys I was singled out in the middle of the group and told I had "too much drink" .... after about 3 pints ... I was also the only one wearing a Leinster jersey, the rest in Munster ones ... another enjoyable experience of the city! :eek: all of this in one trip - there are other stories from seasons gone I wont even start on! I know my Munster friends I was at the match with were very embarressed by how Munster fans acted towards us, and rightfully so).

Serenity Now!

ffs, change the record folks :rolleyes:

Well..... Munster v Leinster can bring out the best and worst of both sides.

Best:
Both Munster and Leinster standing up to applaud Bull. A special moment.
Fans being silent for kicks.

Worst: Standing up and cheering a Contepomi miss in the 2nd half, but oh how fun that was. :D

Jackass, I'm not sure about you getting stabbed for wearing a Leinster jersey, we're not an Old Firm Derby and never will be imo. I'm disappointed that you think that m8.

In relation to your pub exclusion, alcohol can make jubilant fans do silly things.

In any case, I hope you still enjoyed your experience at the new TP (apart from the result of course!! :D)

Why would you ever ever ever go into the Horse Show? Horrendous spot. Crowe's or something if in Ballsbridge, Mary Macs even.


Anyway, I was sitting in a pub on Saturday being called a Ladyboy on Saturday in Dublin 4 ffs, and I don't think I've ever been so insulted. I certainly hadn't offered any such insulting comments regarding turnips, predelictions towards farm animals, or anything of that sort, and yet a Munster fan felt moved to insult me. I don't think that's what they're all like, far from it, just a sizeable minority.

(And I think the other 3 provinces have similar groups, I just think Munster with their greater success would have the lions share.)

Munster family! Leinster colours not welcome there!

I'm pretty neutral, I'd support Munster over Leinster but I'm happy when either team does well.
