Leinster people

dellas1979

Just back from the Heineken cup final. Munster lady myself but applauded and shouted on for Leinster.

I dont know many Leinster people, but the people I did meet over there (and my friends found the same) is that alot of them are obnoxious. They dont know how to throw a party and are super tight (constantly complaining about price of things).

Why are they (I know not all like that) like this? We felt almost sub-serviant to some of these people (they were talking down to us). One kid (a 17 year old) pulled out a credit card and said to my friend "I could buy you". Wtf like???

petes

You happened to come across the people from Leinster that are assholes!

Probably just the type of clientele rugby attracts.

In fairness all rugby supporters are obnoxious.

Awe that's sweet of you to congratulate Leinster on their fine European Cup win.

It just show's you're not a bad loser.

A nice Leinster supporter congratulated Munster on winning the Magners league a while back too.

See everyone can get along.

B0lloxs! The people the OP met were arseholes who just happened to be from here and are in no way representative. Speaking as a dub and a life long rugby fan!

EdgarAllenPoo

I know what the OP is on about but that's not confined to a Leinster thing, there are plenty of snobs and arseholes in the other provinces too(they usually pretend to be D4 which makes it all the more annoying).

Simply smile back at the young lad and say, "Ah but we only take Laser or cash.... sorry bud."


On a side note: They were complaining about the price of stuff in Edinburgh? Drink is cheap over there compared to Dublin.

So you met a few bag eggs, I'm sure you'll find them in every county, in every province, and just to finish my train of thought...........in every country across the world!

Yer man probably thought he was being hilarious! Bless him!

:rolleyes: you base your opinion on a handful of people you met while p1ssed watching a rugby match. Over a million people live in Leinster. Do you think perhaps you are exaggerating just a little.

Well the Rugby fans maybe

dellas1979

I met a cross section of Leinster people. Am only saying what I experienced. Not all, but the majority of these Leinster people were not very nice. Can only go on what I experienced. No sense of humour (the whole "Ive got more money/bigger house/better job than you" attitude). Very fake. Very dull.

Atmosphere was flat after the win. The Leicester Tigers on the other hand were great craic. A real sense of fun-which I did not expect.

Ah don't mind Fintan, he's a total focking ledge.

OP, sounds like you bumped into one of the last of the celtic tiger cubs, what he probably didnt realise is the banks are coming to get his daddy and the credit card he had is his hand is days away from being cancelled

lol true that i couldnt give two ****es about rugby to be honest and im from dublin. too much up its own hole.

even those munster fans with their inverted snobbery are hilarious. "ooooh lets all hate on leinster, every single one of their fans live in castles made of solid gold and they never ever stand watching a game on sunday morning in the pissing,howling rain like us. we're well 'ard"

actually this whole thing is pretty funny.

dellas1979

Yeah, its hilarious.

That is the image/projection ye give to other people. Its all fake of course and, no, rugby balls are not round and yes, "supporters" do go to local games where the likes of BOD started out.

gmitStu

I find Munster people arrogant, up their own holes, and they seem to have inferiority complex, namely those from Cork and Kerry. Regardless of weather they are rugby supporters or not.

I'm from the south east. We are all chilled down there.

dellas1979

Yaw.

At least we know how to throw a party and celebrate a win.

Dumbledore

Yeah well all Munster people are uncivilised farmers and if it wasn't for Leinster people "ye", would all still be running around naked, long haired and toothless; while breathing through your mouths and eating cabbage for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

SEPT 23 1989

Why were Munster fans at that match anyway? surely after the humilation of the overdue hiding you were given at the hands of Irelands/Europes best rugby team in the semi final you would not want to be there to see the best team in Ireland/Europe lifting the cup

I've had this debate before. Munster supporters are just as posh as Leinster supporters, the difference is they don't sound posh. I would argue that the vast majority of genuine (not fair-weather) rugby playing/supporting in Ireland comes fom the university educated middle classes, regardless of what province they're based in.

Proper order.

But seriously Ross O'Carroll Kelly and all that crap did bad things to some people, and unfortunately some people enjoy acting like that now. I'm a big Leinster supporter, and went to a private rugby school, etc. etc. and don't act like that. I do know people who do, and I suppose they find it funny because some people like that type of ****.

It's true, and how would the Munster fans collect their dole money if it wasn't for all the hard working tax payers in Leinster?

thethedev

Nah, most of the people I know from leinster are sound, not a bit snobbish and great craic altogether.
Its because you were out drinking met alot of people and most of them were assholes and there was a leinster match going on.

Leinster deserved to win against Munster. Why would you describe it as humiliating? See, thats the attitude I am talking about and ye wonder why I am posting about arrogant Leinster people? Thats sub-serviant. "We" (Leinster), humiliated "you" (Munster).

I am merely saying what I experienced and observed. And you are condoning the behaviour.

Am wondering why the bad behaviour? Why the attitude?

I think you will find most of the responses are just in reaction to your original sweeping statements.

Sounds like the OP has no sense of humour. Leinster fans have being listening to sh!te from munster fans for years, but as soon as Leinster beat you in a big match and give a bit of stick back it's all "terrible attitude" etc.
But I won't base my entire opinion of Munster fans on one fan, because 99% of them are dead sound and can take (and give) a slagging.

There are lots of supertight folks in the other 3 provinces, hun. After spending 450+ per person to get there, I would say a lot of people would be watching the pennies.

But I do agree on the obnoxiousness level. I've probably been to about 60 different Munster games over 7 years and only twice came across Munster supporters who were flat out assholes. I've been to about 15 Leinster games in maybe 3 years and on at least 3 occasions come across really nasty individuals.

Having said that, most are great, but very very shy. They seem to mix a lot less than Munster supporters do. I don't know why that is. I went with a friend on a bus trip to Belfast once and people hardly talked at all to people they didn't know. They were polite and all, but seemed incredibly shy of strangers.

cornbb

Not suggesting that anyone is an arsehole or anything, and congrats to Leinster and all, but I watched the match in a pub in Dublin and found the atmosphere was crap given the day that was in it. If it was a Munster match being watched in Limerick the place would have been jumping, no matter which pub.

I'm also under the impression that rugby is more of an "every man" sport outside of Dublin. It definitely doesn't have the same elitist image in Cork/Limerick that it does in Dublin.
