With respect you havent a fcuking clue what your talking about,i doubt you have the slightest notion about the game or what the man has brought to the Irish game.

I think you're a pathetic begrudger that will never accomplish anything close to what O'Driscoll has. The guy is probably one of the greatest sportspeople Ireland has ever produced and an unbelievably class act to boot.

Any lovefest is warranted for a man like this

Ah sure. If it makes people happy why not.
Everyone needs more happiness in their lives.
He is a great sportsman.

Yeah cringy, but feck it. Can't beat a bit of cringe on occasion. :pac:

WTF

allthedoyles

#bod is trending today and rightly so

Lenin Skynard

So Ireland produces probably the greatest player in the world of his generation but we can't pay tribute to him because it's omg like totes morto.

Gosub

The man is an inspiration and in my eyes he can do no wrong.

Deise67

were u forced to watch it OP ? don't like turn off simples really !

mdwexford

I hate rugby but I know enough to know he deserves all the tributes that come his way today.

He's been a fantastic player and I'm incredibly proud of what's he's achieved.

I don't understand and will never understand why people can't just accept the obvious instead of always looking for a negative slant on everything.

Please list out your achievements.

Paddy1234

I think you are obviously not a fan of rugby.

He's one of the greatest players ever to have played the game and it's a fitting tribute to him and his family.

I still haven't got an answer in any of the other threads. Who or what is a BOD?!?

In answer to your question though, OP. I don't interact with the coverage of this BOD person and whatever it is the love fest has been arranged to celebrate, so no. It doesn't BODDER me in the slightest.

If you don't like it, switch it off. I don't know. Go for a walk maybe? Something?

Pudsy33

Please close this thread ffs

Super-Rush

Not a shite do i give but apparently he deserves the adulation.

MonkstownHoop

Imagine how great it would be if he played a proper sport

First of all what did you expect for his last home game?

He is a hero to many and a fantastic sportsman, his rugby record alone means he is worthy of some kind of tribute.

He's a fan favourite, a decent guy by all accounts and there is no way the crowds would have let him walk off without some kind of send off.

If you found it so cringeworthy you should have turned off. I'm not a rugby fan but have a lot of admiration for BOD, well done to him.

Brian O'Driscoll is an absolute hero. The man is an inspiration to people in all walks of life. His attitude is superb. I wish there were more like him.

Im not sure which is worse ,the OP or the morons thanking it :rolleyes:

I wonder what they will do with that MASSIF banner they brought out onto the pitch?

Duvet sets maybe?

Ace2007

So mod changes the title of the thread out of obvious love of BOD.

says a lot about the mods on here, and the voice of someone who has a different opinion.

I'm not a Rugby fan, but the guy has done a lot for the sport and deserves the day in the spot light, maybe it's a bit OTT, and if a poster feels this way they should have the right to make a thread and not have the named changed.

The mod should spend his time cleaning up the nonsense in other threads imo.

No doubt i'll get a warning for this post - but free speech and all that...

To be fair, I think most will be thanking the mod edit as opposed to the OP.

PropJoe10

Typical Irish begrudgery. The guy is a fine example for any young person, in any walk of life, not just sport. Let him have his well deserved day in the sun, for Gods sake.

jimboblep

An absolute class act deserves every bit of praise that comes his way
F#@k the begrudgers

Maybe your correct, i really hope so.

If so apologies to those who thanked the mod edit.

SNAKEDOC

He was named the player of the decade he won a under 20 world cup he won a grand slam several triple crowns and was capped three times on the lions tour.
He was an alround gent and an inspiration to the whole country. Unlike the selfish self centered egotistical soccor players around today. He never played himself up and always took everything on the chin. He will be missed by all. But he deserves his retirement. He has done more than most for this country. A true irishman. A Hero.

The problem is, there has been about 1000 other threads in the same vein over the last few days. So I would say the mods are perfectly entitled to change it to one thread saying something positive.

Beats the shite out of locking it anyway.

I love you Brian.

An amazing human being.

Did you not see post #22? The Mod was just providing a service to the poster who asked this question.

I still haven't got an answer in any of the other threads. Who or what is a BOD?!?

Would it not be fair to let this one and original title stay, and if mod feels strongly make his own thread, poor form imo.

actually can someone tell me how to report that mod for his actions as I believe it was uncalled for.

RayM

Listening to the radio earlier, I thought he'd died or something. I presume he's just retiring(?) Oh.

Diabhal Beag

Far less smug than he should be considering his standing. That's an absolute crime in my books.

Brian O'Driscoll - he's a rugby player, what has post 22 got to do with anything?
