    4PP I thought you were supposed to give your theories on why Leinster fans should be disappointed after last weekend? Heard you rehashing the point, but not really delving into why.

    As I've already said, Leinster had a huge amount of injuries, have not started the season well, generally don't show too much in this game and Munster were coming up with a lot of confidence.

    When you look at the two benches, it was always going to happen that Munster would come back at the end. Don't really see the point you're trying to make.

    Well sure thats grand jamiedav2011, what you thought is one thing, what happened, another.
    No harm there. If you can't see the point you can always try SpecSavers.
    Tbh I really can't see why you labour the point to such an extent in view of the remarks I made on the podcast/here but then aren't we all different thanks be to God.
    Maybe you should give it another listen? Other participants had a lot more to say on that game. Frog rugby would be more my speciality.

    In anycase I'll say no more. I'll end with being accused of back seat mollycoddling or what have you.

    This ain't TBP ;).

    Well I'm all for different opinions, however you haven't backed yours up. Yes, you made the remarks again, but again, didn't give rhyme or reason as to why you felt that way. I can certainly see that Frog rugby is your chosen topic, because, again, your theory on last week's Feva in the Aviva is misguided.

    By the way, that's the third jibe you've made against me now without showing any of your patented rugby knowledge. Easy thing to do eh?!

    Good Lord you're tenacious aren't you.

    If you listen to the show there are plenty of explanations/reasoning/opinions on the M v L derby & other games. If each contributor was to go "in depth" on each game we'd be there all night & most of the next day!.

    I gave my opinion as a neutral & I stick to it. Thats the impression I got from watching the game, end of. No conspiracy theories, no insults or put downs, just an opinion.

    If you don't agree well thats fine by me.

    Agree with the point about fans having preconceptions about a player and that player is written off no matter what he does, Fionn Carr springs to mind (although people are probably right about him to be fair).

    Doc rocked in again

    I think you should get in touch with Newstalk and have a bet of the week competition with GT, he likes a bet, the lads would be well on for it I would say, and a good bit of crack, and would promote the classy show big time.

    It's a joint decision. ;):pac:

    3/5 for the season now! I think giving a shortlist during the recording and then waiting till Friday to finally decide the 'official' BOTW works best. Too much information assymetry before Friday! :D

    parody it please.

    Perhaps mention ROG's 20 minutes against Racing as giving him an average of 8.5. Which can't disimprove throughout the competition, a la Davies..

    Super ref coach Dave Pearson will sort them out I'm sure.

    I might get the lads' thoughts on the pricing issue I brought up on the Munster thread, plus the pricing idea proposed by bucs.

    Show done, we didn't get into the Lions Index but we did give our 2c on the merit of the likes of Strauss playing for Ireland.

    I'd say we'll give it a mention when it rears its ugly head in Rounds 3&4.
