This "Munster" Crack !

Fulton Crown · 05-11-2008 09:32AM #1

Is it me or is every body getting a little tired of this Munster Rugby crack - and indeed their second cousind the Cork GAA teams.

It's this "Irish by Birth - Munster by the Grace of God" stuff that is just beginning to get up my nose - freekin superior or what ??

And this new stadium down in Limerick - the Holy Grail is not in it ! but at least it's not in Cork.

Now that the New Zealanders are coming we will have to endure endless crap about their famous 12 - nil victory back in ...whenever - an you know the All Blacks were lucky to get Nil - Haw haw freekin - HAW !

One fluke every century is possible in any sport.

Give it a rest an cut back on the elitism lads might be better in the long run.

Hope they are kicked out of this years comp. nice an early - an those uppity knobs are put in their place,

My money is on Toulouse - where they see rugby as a game and have none of the jingoistic tryumphalism so prevelent in Munster.

ALLEZ Toulouse !!!

one of few Irish Sporting Teams that have being successful worldwide, and put them (the people) down. well its a damn sight better than listening to the leinster rugby shower (and no not the D4/D6 heads), its a small country of course many people who are not even rugby heads would join the bandwagon when success occurs. sure i wouldn't be surprised if bertie et all pretended to be munster men when the succeeded in the Euorpean Cup.

that grace of god thing, its tongue in check, a bit of a laugh, at least they are proud of where their from. its not their fault if others are intimidated by them.

The only thing worse than an egg chasin rugger bugger is an egg chasin rugger bugger from Cork.

Im sorry but what the hell are you on about. Im from Limerick and lived in Dublin for years. Rugby in Munster and perticularly Limerick is not seen as an elitist sport at all and is notting like it is in Dublin where I would consider it elitist because of the schools influence.

The New Zealand game was years ago but was a briliant acheavment as I believe no other team in the nothen hemisper had beeten that team at the time, but its not like that is the only achevement Munster have had now is it.

So you're a Leinster man then.

Glad to hear it - I've changed my sig to accommodate you. I urge others to do the same.

At lease we're not (insert your own personal preference) like Leinster.
I think i might have to change my pants after reading that tripe, All you needed was to tie-in Waterford and I'd be truly Outraged.

Look horse - you can change your sig to whatever you think appropriate - "smartass" might be suitable.

I was putting forward the point that the innate provinciallism of Munster and indeed Ireland leads them to excesses when they have a little bit of success.

How many Munster by birth players are there on the team anyways ?

To be fair the newspapers are somewhat to blame for fuelling the jingoism that is part an parcel of Munster Rugby - they are a moderately successful team aided by a good smattering of "outsiders" and admittedly an excellent coach.

I have no real gripe against the team per se -- it's the bandwaggon followers who are looking for the "greatest supporters in the world" tag now that our soccer team is in decline.

Probably knobs very similiar to you Agamemnon who probably never go to a club Rugby game ...

Remember ...Toulouse.......

fozzle · 05-11-2008 10:57AM

*wipes away tears of laughter* What a splendid rant, but next time perhaps focus your energies on spelling (or was "tryumphalism a failed pun?) and on finding a subject you actually know more about than "Aw, my team don't win, stupid Munster fans". Because if there's one thing Munster rugby isn't, especially in Limerick, it's elitist.

stovelid · 05-11-2008 10:57AM

You're being very harsh. Ireland is still quite hompphobic, and egg ball provides a much-needed and useful homoerotic outlet for lots of middle-class chaps. Where else can they 'play rough' with each other, lie on top of other chaps, and grab each other's testicles in public?

How you describe your location "The Jewell of the South" really puts you into the the type of knob category I was describing.

I presume you mean Cork - that dirty small minded provincial town in the South ....

Ah, you must be in Dublin - that dirty small minded knob-hole in the east.

I've been to plenty of my local club's rugby games - my father played for them and my brother-in-law still does.

You get bandwagon supporters following every successful team in every sport in every country in the world; it's certainly not exclusive to Munster. You see, Fulton, Ireland is a small country with a small population and of course we're going to be delighted when our teams succeed against the great teams from bigger nations. Your own ill-informed whingeing reveals another trait still all too common in Irish sport: begrudgery.

Just interested in how you define Moderately successful? Winning the Heineken Cup twice is not moderately successful in my book, Nilling the All Blacks is also a feat in itself. not to mention the celtic league victory back in 03.
They punch far above their weight.
