Most annoying yells from crowd members who seem to forget the word 'advantage' = "Release! Release!" or "Hands! Aw . . . ref!"

I'm glad you said that :-) I was at a Munster match in musgrave park against one of the welsh teams. There were two girls standing in front of me. About 20 minutes into the match, one of the girls turns around to me looking confused and says 'is Rob Kearney not playing tonight?' I said 'ahm he plays for Leinster' she goes 'no I recognise Paul O' Connell and I've definitely seen them in the same team before' I said 'ya that was probably an Ireland game you were watching'. They looked very annoyed and then left the match. Half the terrace was in stitches!

There is always one muppet who shouts:
"Should have gone Specsaver's Ref"
This should be BANNED from being shouted at rugby games
And the people who laugh at this lazy attempt of humour should be put in stocks and have vegetables thrown at them for the half-time entertainment

Stereotypically, the price of tickets are way too cheap. Season Tickets for Leinster should be like the 32k 10 year vantage club tickets the FAI were issuing. Only Jerseys allowed should be acc bank or earlier. Fans should be asked 3 questions are the gate about the history of the club and if they hesitate, or get it wrong they are denied entry.

Am I doing this right?

Being the affluent Leinster fan I am I often only wear my Leinster Supporters Club scarf along with my shooting jacket to games because it get's awfully cold in the RDS but mainly because I'm off to Krystle to score some models after.

Don't worry though, I help the commoners out. I throw 50e notes out of my car on the way to the match when I'm driving through the less fortunate areas like Terenure.

I can only assume that Ulster fans wear full battle garb because it's some sort of Protestant tradition.

And Munster fans? Well, there is no accounting for muckers really, is there?

Through Terenure on your way to a match? Poor thing, you must be from Walkinstown. Sorry about that. Where did you leave your Umbro jacket?

The worst kind of supporter, in my view anyway, is the ultra-tribalist who takes the game far too seriously than they should do. Abuse of officials, players or other spectators not very endearing. I actually saw two buttnuggets have a cut at each other at the Leinster v Munster game in Croke Park in 2009. Might have been funny if there weren't kids about. They were promptly ejected from arena.

Many of them are the ones who turn up to the game decked out from head to toe in every available stitch of replica gear carrying a flag and probably a provincial rucksack on their back.
They're the sort who get extremely irritated if the team don't come out and applaud them after the game and feel they have some sort of "ownership" of the players and constantly demand recognition of their diehard support. It's like some sort of deep-seated insecurity.
They've been "through thick and thin, the good times and bad" since.... well.... 2010.....

Made from old British army uniforms back in the day because loads of the Munster lads were in the British army. Garrison sport y'see! :pac:

Very much aware. But seriously, Trappist beer beats the pants off Heineken.

At the other end of the scale, I do habitually sneak in a couple of cans of Karpackie to the RDS. It's better than Heineken and a quarter of the price of buying a pint at the match.

Any true rugby fan would never ask that. For shame....

Now I know you are lying, only povvers going to Funderland would dare sneak cans into an event in the RDS.

RandolphEsq · 10-01-2013 07:28PM

Women only go with boyfriends/husbands, to perve on the players or look for husbands.

Munster fans talk in cliches.

I did see Leinster fan the day of the Clemont game in Ranelagh wearing his Leinster jersey over a long sleeved pink shirt.....with the collar up.

Outrageous.

I also saw the Munster team bus being drawn into Thomond park stadium by a traveller on a pieballed horse...

Oh wait, neither of these things ever happened

Hidalgo · 10-01-2013 07:47PM

Leinster teams are made up of rich private school goys
Musnter teams are made up of salt to the earth liginds, binmen and dockers and the likes

Honestly, he was in Tribeca with four other blokes!

I clearly can't prove it, so suppose you'll just have to take my word I didnt make this rather tame story up!

P_1 · 10-01-2013 08:32PM

So as a non 'insert Southside stereotype' Leinster fan I don't actually have to pay my weekly tribute to stay in the fold?

Lovely stuff, that'll make the finances a bit easier

DEFTLEFTHAND · 10-01-2013 08:34PM

I know it's fun to laugh at the D4's but in fairness a lot them (not all of course) were there through the lean times. They're rugby people, they didn't jump on any bandwagons.

Loud supporters who pretend they are good mates with the players. You know, the ones who were having a quick pint the other day with "Brian, Paul & Ronan".

Well the point is that Leinster have a rep for it despite there being far more private school boys on the Munster team!

Now that you mention it, the Leinster schools cup is a damn fine competition. The H Cup Final 2012 squad, hailed by many as the greatest H Cup squad of all time, had 9 Leinster schools players in the starting 15, and a further 4 on the bench.

How many Irish players in Munster's current starting 15 didn't go to a private school? Kilcoyne and Sherry.

And if you were to count up the overall squad you would see theres actually far more private school Irish players on Munster's books than Leinsters!
