Friday night is City night, and tell the mud f*ckers to p*ss off [/B]

Because, City were under NO obligation WHATSOEVER to switch the game. Playing on a Friday gave them the best possible chance of winning.
I love your attitude name-calling and all, seeing as some people like me want to go to BOTH games. It's been a joy to follow Munster in the last number of years and the ignorance of people like you makes me sick.
Munster to win a cracking game and the Celtic League.

Murphy Out Now!!!

Great, I've already had this s**t in a former guise, now I'm going to have it ALL OVER AGAIN aren't I? Still though, the comment was the truth.
I'm most certainly NOT in the minority when I say I follow more sports than soccer and the Connacht match can't come along fast enough for me.:D

Aw, the poor lickle wugger bugger is getting sick...Awwwwww

Me so sorry that my ignorance is showing and making you vomit...
I would have thought you 'd have a stronger stomach than that from all that mud eating.....

I realise of course that you would never descend to name calling, and you would of course be nice to all the chaps on the forum....

Go way, ya l*nger!!!!:rolleyes:

I'm just saying that name-calling like that takes away what little credibility your 'opinions' have. For your information I DO have an extremely strong stomach and am not in the habit of being one of your fellow mudeaters.
It'll be a GREAT game of rugby and I won't have to listen to the likes of you at it. Munster Abú!!! :p

No, you are not "saying" anything, you just jumped up on some high horse..
While you are at that game of rugger, why not look around and try and find a sense of Humour??
It might get you some credibilty, knock the chip off your shoulder, and make your life a little easier......;)

Now look at whose getting all hot and bothered and jumping on the so-called high horse.
I don't play rugby, just LOVE suppporting it. You're the one who needs to get a sense of humour and knock the chip off your shoulder.
To have to defend my position on liking more than one sport to so-called people like you is both offensive and insulting. It's absolutely none of your goddamn business.
You shouldn't be so quick to knock rugby until you actually check out Munster in action. You might just be pleasantly surprised.

You know it's a bad sign when you resort to writing senseless, incomprehensible crap like that in your posts. It means you really haven't a clue what you are on about or were on about in the first place.:p

I've been to my share of Munster games & 1 international game but rugby doesn't come close to the passion of football.

I think the Munster phenomenum will decrease over time a bit if they stop winning all their home games (very similar to city in that respect) anyway.

That's where you're WAY off the mark, Pete, no offence. If you had been at the European Cup semi-final against Castres over in Beziers, France back in April, you'd know what I'm on about.
Can't see Munster losing too many home games in the foreseeable future. They're WAY AHEAD of anything else in Ireland, Scotland, Wales or France.

I opened this thread expecting a joke of some sort:rolleyes:

I reckon the winner of Munster-Connacht will win the title after Leinster kindly allowed other teams the chance to win!

The atmosphere at rugby games isn't a patch on football games either except for internationals maybe.

Good to see you're backing Munster. No doubt about it, Leinster were pretty pathetic.
Maybe the atmosphere at some rugby games isn't the same. However, a packed to capacity Thomond Park takes some beating as do Munster away games.

I am?

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Connacht win. If I'd had some money at the start of the competition, I'd have put it on them to win the Celtic League.

Leinster were $hite because they were missing a full team for all their defeats bar Connacht BTW.

Yeah, well Munster were missing ALL of their Irish internationals and had to rely on mostly their reserve team to get them this far, so that particular argument doesn't hold any water whatsoever. Leinster are painfully short of strength in depth whereas Munster have it in spades.
I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Connacht win either. They've got to the point where if Munster have an off-day, they can win and really set the West roaring. Reckon that Munster will be ready for them and ultimately too strong for them.

That's a fair point. Behind an excellent first XV, Leinster are a bit weak in the reserves. If they don't get too many injuries though, they could well be challanging for the ERC this year.

Well isn't a lovely little thread.:rolleyes:

Ok, might aswell throw my two cents in the ring. Don' t really like rugby, never have done. If you support it fine but to be honest any rugby games I've been to I've always found them incredibly boring and the atmosphere pretty dull.
A lot of rugger bugger people really get on my nerves- you know the type!

[James]

hahhaa

well i was in musser the other day with a chum of mine, we'd had a few heino's in us, and we saw this guy in a beige blazer, and i turned and said to Anthony... Anthony look at that chap in the funny blazer!!

you know yourself.. and blah blah blah blah


anyways thats why i moved this from the cork city footie section to hear in the middle of nowhere :D

I know just the type- they've gotten on my nerves in the past as well. Regarding what you say about the atmosphere at rugby matches, I refer you to my previous posts.
Schumi, we both know what a physical game rugby is and how unlikely it is that a team won't sustain too many injuries in a season. You just can't get away without REAL strength in depth these days. Therefore, the only Irish team I see making a realistic challenge is, you've guessed it, the Mighty Munsters. Leinster could get a spot in the quaters, though, and take it from there.

Leinster got through last season without too many injuries (unbeaten for 14 games or something) and only went out of the ERC to Leicester away (the hardest draw they could have got). They don't have any more Celtic League games now either so that will lessen the chances of injuries.

Munster have a tough group too. They have to beat Gloucester at home now which I'd fancy them to do but it won't be easy.

That though was a game in which Leinster had more than enough chances to bury Leicester.
The Celtic League might be over for Leinster but, the winter internationals aren't. Hopefully everyone will come through Saturday ok, I wouldn't wish injuries on any team.
I'm all too aware of how tough Munsters group is. That said, recent signs are encouraging. In a close game, a la Saracens 2000, I reckon a packed Thomond Park will see Gloucester off and we'll ultimately see the Heineken Cup take its rightful place in Thomond Park.:)

I'm not suggesting theres no atmosphere at Munster games just i suppose it different to football games in the same way GAA different too.

I've seen Munster in Cork, Limerick, Lansdowne & Cardiff & the atmosphere is more the comradery sort then the 'if we lose tonight i'll be depressed for weeks' sort.

Maybe i'm a sunshine rugby supporter?

I still think the crowds will drop for Munster if they stop winning - in any sport people enjoy watching their team win more than anythinge else. Its unrealistic to maintain full houses for every game & i think their home in the ERC this season already wasn't a sellout for possible one of the first times?

[Real ale Madrid]

Crowds probably wont drop off that much because Munster will only play about 10/11 home games per season. Interest is easier to maintain as a result. Thats where soccer has a difficulty over GAA and Rugby the soccer play too many games.
I follow all sports and as atmospheres go Thomond is a special place to be when the boys in red are winning, but the cross' is still unbeatable for a big game.

Nicely put. A sentiment I very much echo and share. Death to Leicester.

Not by a long shot. Munster will rarely draw a full house for games that are foregone conclusions, as the majority of home games are. The sell-outs have always been the really massive ones: Saracens 08/01/2000, Biarritz Feb. 2001, knockout games in general. Not forgetting the Gloucester match in about 7 weeks time, there won't be an inch of space at that one.

Just to add my two cent, I'm from that hotbed of rugby that is Limerick but I take no pleasure in Munster's achievements because we shouldn't be allowed to enter provincial teams anyway. I mean just because our clubs aren't up to standard??? Let's be realistic, our soccer teams get whipped in Europe most years so should they be allowed to merge for the purposes of European competition too? I don't think so. Because half of Europe would do the same overnight. And let's be honest, even clubs from countries like France, Holland and Portugal have no real chance of winning so we can let them pool their resources too. In fact let's punish Spain, Germany, England and Italy for having their leagues in order. And just to even it up even more maybe clubs from the big four should start with ten men or have to play two players from their youth set up or put their goalkeeper into one of those sumo wrestler costumes? All in the name of equality... bah humbug... And how many posts does it take before I lose this 'new signing' label?

[Schumi]

Rugby has a very different set up to football. If only real club teams could enter, the quarter finals would consist of 7 or 8 English teams, 6 or 7 French teams and maybe a Welsh team or 2. No one else would have a hope. Not like the way a Greek football team doesn't have a hope against Barcalona or Arsenal but more like the way Bray wouldn't have a hope against Real Madrid. The Scottish and Irish teams would be beaten by 50-60 points in most games and interest would plumet.

There isn't enough money in Irish rugby for fully professional club teams, even the provinces lose money with pretty good crowds. The provinces do actually have a history (any Munster bore will remind you of when they beat the All Blacks!) and wouldn't be like a 'provincial' football team, the Dublin Bohelspatvers or something.

That's exactly right Schumi, except that 50-60 points would be an absolute minimum. Just imagine Cork Con or St Marys up against Leicester! They'd be lucky to lose by under treble figures.

While you rightly mention the All Blacks, what about 1991 against Australia (19-18, injury-time dro goal), unlike NZ, largely through the fault of the IRB, the Aussies were actually official world champions when they lost that one.
