Anyone else find the whole Leinsturrr thing incredibly annoying?

thegreengoblin · 21-05-2011 07:22PM #1

I will admit straight away that I am not a Munster fan. I'm not rugby fan full stop, I find the elitist thing a load of ****e. But even allowing for that, Leinster's fans do my head in. Just getting it off my chest like.

Don't listen or watch then. Plenty of other things for you to begrudge and be cynical about.

I enjoyed it, because Connacht are now in next season's HL.:cool:

Yes, Leinster rugby stands on a pedestal of annoyance above all the other pedestals of annoyance of other rugby teams.

I'm honestly not a begrudging or cynical type. But there is just something about Leinster Inc that raises the hackles within me. Maybe it's because they and their fans all have more money than me.

Píssing and moaning about something you haven't seen or heard so. Good idea, let me know how this approach to life works out for you.

Ah, I see, I should have added bitter to the possibilities.

What are you on about? I didn't listen to or watch the match today. I wouldn't generally listen to or watch Leinster fans but some things just can't be helped.

I'll have a little lol, thanks. So you didn't see or hear it today, or generally, but it's existence moves you to start threads on the 'net. Good man, keep it up.

Son Of A Vidic · 21-05-2011 07:37PM

Why are you annoyed specifically? My team is Connaught and I'm delighted to see Leinster win. Their victory flies the flag for Ireland and isn't great to see Irish success amongst all the negativity.

Lu Tze · 21-05-2011 07:38PM

Fairplay to leinster! Didn't get to watch the game where i am, just got ht and ft score and it seems they turned around an insurmountable margin.

Yours faithfully,

Non affiliated Rugby fan

Yeah I'm interested to hear if other people share my feelings on the subject. I know you certainly don't but don't let it bother you too much.

mike65 · 21-05-2011 07:42PM

It was much better when Munster ruled Cardiff.

Voodoomelon · 21-05-2011 07:42PM

I'm from Leinster and they wreck my head too.

laugh · 21-05-2011 07:44PM

Leinster's players and fans are from all over the province, Leinster and it's fans do not match the stupid stereotype or anything you will read in a Ross O' Carroll Kelly book.

The Waltzing Consumer · 21-05-2011 07:44PM

I am delighted when any of our provinces do well. I just wish those damn footballers could take a page out of our rugby players book and play with the same passion and determination for both club and nation.

See, I am a Leinster fan, so I'm one of the people you're whining about and I will therefore feel free to address your post. They did an incredible thing today, but if you don't care, don't like it or your head is done in by it, then just don't watch or listen and your problem will be solved.

As for the elitist tag, I'm "working class" and so are all my family and I've never been part of any elite, but, like a lot of people, you haven't a clue what you're talking about with your ridiculous generalisations.

Well as the OP has pointed out, he does not watch or listen when Leinster are playing, so it does sound like he has read about stereotypes and has created some fake annoyance.

This is correct.

Can somebody please take this thread out and have it shot?

Maybe leave it as a sticky for when people to look at when they think about moaning about something they haven't experienced and know nothing about.

The elitist thing is an established part of rugby in this country. I know many rugby fans who will freely admit that. Sure, there are 'working class' Leinster fans around and there are parts of Ireland where it would be silly to apply the term elitist but a quick look at the schools in Dublin who have rugby teams and those who don't is very enlightening.

Vocational Schools all over the Province have rugby teams these days, one of the best players in Europe at the moment is from a small club in Carlow.

Finally some chance at real sponsorship and progress, well, hopefully. Really annoys me Connaught are the poor relation. Hope that will change with the spotlight on them too. We can but hope!
