Probably should have won World Cup? How does that work? We didn't reach semi final stage. Like saying Dublin should have won All Ireland hurling last year Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1789 - 05/02/2024 00:00:55 2524433 Link 0 |
One of the bizarre things these days is people who don't like rugby being absolutely obsessed with rugby.

Not sure how that works myself. Any rugby supporters I know including myself thought any 1 of 4 teams could win it and had all 4 pretty even. Ourselves and France were 2 of those 4 teams.

He returned to his book when he realised that rugby would never be allowed in Kilkenny!

Whats even more bizarre in a way is the amount of people who never played the game in their life ,or any game for that matter, who are now suddenly rugby supporters.

Why is that odd? plenty of people like sports without playing the game, NFL has a massive following in the UK and Ireland for example.

That's the way it's going. Jack Crowley is from Innishannon in West Cork, his aunt played camogie for Cork and won a few all Ireland's. In years gone by, he'd have maybe gone to Farranferris, and pursued hurling. Farranferris was a boarding school that attracted a lot of West Cork students and won many Harty Cups. It's now closed. The options open to young people are way more than say 20 or 30 years ago.

Ridiculous commwnt. People pixk up new sports and get invested in them or other things in life all the time Rugby far from new in that regard. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3624 - 05/02/2024 16:45:19 2524592 Link 2 |
Even a chap like myself with little knowledge of game could see that. It will be compulsory soon to sit through it I suppose. I doubt anyone who had no emotional or betting commitment to it stayed till the end. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2952 - 05/02/2024 23:09:21 2524668 Link 0 |
Nothing bizarre about that if you think about it but for some here that may be a bit difficult...

Neither! Fair play to him. The DUP played games for long enough. He's the elected representative for Armagh, and a little suspension won't bother him.

Only over two things: the purgatory of Dublin hurling, and: proper research standards :-) (Agus leadanna i bhrstí bán dhearg ag imirt galf agus ag ól gin i lár na Gaeltachtaí mar dhaoine tar éis landáil i measc treabhanna aisteach sa fásach.)

We're all sensitive about certain issues Viking. I'd agree with Barney on soccer and rugby tbh. I find soccer especially, boring and a waste of time apart from the odd game when two top teams play each other. I went to Landsdowne Road twice in my life, once to see the Irish soccer team and once to see the rugby team, I haven't gone back and don't intend to.
