    Silly to hate supporters of a sport.

    Such a bunch of arrogant,over indulged knobends the lot of em....taken in by a farce of a sport and think ramming buzzwords into sentences will make it entertaining (it wont)


    A sport made for people who arent skilful enough to play others takes prime time slots on irish tv,which is a joke given its playing numbers here.....we shouldnt be encouraging our youth to play it,no mind clogging up the free-to-air channels indulging these cûnts

    It's amazing that that actually gets resorted to as an argument but it does!

    Ah no, surely no one is that thick.

    First they came for the socialists...

    wait until yous hear some rugby commentry.....buzzword central :yawn:

    Talking of rugby phrases the term “the ref missed their antics at the ruck” must be used in every single thread about whoever Ireland are playing.

    To the un-initiated....the ruck is basically a buzzword for rolling around on the ground

    Time to change the auld sig I think.

    Tarring all of them like that is more than a tad unhinged!

    (I have zero interest in rugby BTW - but any rugby fan I know is a perfectly decent person. I know the type you're talking about but they are not all rugby fans by a long shot).

    Shocking

    When anytime anyone mentions something about British oppression over the last hundred years "but what about the IRA"

    Its a horrible rotten sport though,which shouldnt be letting kids play.....using hype and buzzwords packed into prime time tv slots to induce kids to play a game that will result in a lifetime of injuries,severe head injuries,drug taking to just stay competitve.....


    All this is shut down and not allowed discussed in the media,as the irfu deosnt allow critical questions at press conferences and refuses access to journalists....



    hence why everyone thinks its ok and dandy,while in reality the irfu is responsible for destroying thousands of our youth health

    ....how many irish players/on irfu payroll suffered concussion injury last year,and why do they not answer qs on this on any platform/general inquirys??.....its a pure scandel whats going on there,while taking thousands off the guillible in tickets and fees to keep the hype and "team of us" buzz going

    That's the game though - you were talking about the fans. It can be elitist in Dublin but it's different in Limerick, very different in Wales, parts of England and NZ.

    "Typical Irish" about something that could be found anywhere.

    Begrudgery - it is a real thing but valid criticism isn't begrudgery!

    When a mod posts "Stop the bickering"

    When I see this, the default assumption in my noggin does be that a woke type poster said summit actionable/offensive; but another poster responds to the insult, and then to "sort out the problem" , cue the "Mod Note"..

    Seems one side gets more latitude when it comes to insults etc,, on certain contentious issues...

    Yeah that's really unfair. Mild gas-lighting.

    I've seen it in the case of posters trying to antagonise from other directions too though - not just woke ones.

    It may depend on the relevance of the objection,["What about.....?"], to the subject being discussed. The objection then becomes something open to debate - or dismissed as "whataboutery".
    Whataboutery or context.

    Gaslighting

    (And usually used incorrectly)

    'get your big girl pants on'...anyone remember that one?

    Or

    'ive had my fun..that all that matters' ...

    Misogyny/sexist/racist/Islamophobe are often used if someone disagrees with your opinion.

    Accusations of being right or left wing too.

    Never seen that word on here before. I think you're just imagining things.
