    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
    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).

    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.

    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's a real thing though. E.g. on a thread about Bloody Sunday - what about what the IRA did? As if they can't open a separate thread, they have to be that tasteless.
    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.

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

    Accusations of being right or left wing too.

    "Blast them with pi$$" used to make a regular appearance until a few years ago.

    Not a phrase or line but faux shock.

    On the thread about the woman that killed her kids I made a suggestion as to what she should do with herself. One poster referred to my comment as horrific, another said shocking.
    Yer on a thread about a woman that actually killed her own children with details about a soother in the plastic bag used to smother a child and my comment was too much?

    First they came for the socialists...

    Without looking it up... I think it's knowingly misrepresenting your opponents argument using similar terms or appearing at first to be responding to the actual point when if fact you're not, in order to make it easier for you to knock it down.

    Oh yeah, more concern with a fecking comment on the Internet than the horrific incident that it relates to. That's a fun one.

    Saying "won't someone think of the children!" when a person posts a very real concern in relation to children (the whole point of that Simpsons joke was she was getting in a tizzy over something that had nothing to do with children).

    "I could be wrong......"

    Could you? Could you be wrong? Well no not really because the phrase 'I could be wrong' is preceded nearly always by something they know for a fact to be true.

    "I could be wrong but I think Dublin is the capital of Ireland."
    "I could be wrong but I think the mattress goes on top of the bed and not the other way around. Could be wrong though."
    "I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Michael O'Leary owns Ryanair, not Qantas. I'd have to double check and I could be wrong as I said."

    Can't figure this out on boards; when someone says that another carried on with their "fake pearl clutching".

    Do they mean that the "pearls" are fake, or the "clutching"?

    Pearl Clutching - "a very shocked reaction, especially one in which you show more shock than you really feel in order to show that you think something is morally wrong"

    There's no need to add fake, the phrase refers to disingenuous shock.
