That's called bandwagon stuff but funnily enough I have never seen kids with a rugby ball in the public park by me. janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 30/01/2017 20:38:05 1950322 Link 0 |

3 Connacht players retire with concussion in last year. Yet all we ever see is "GAA violence" in the media. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 31/01/2017 17:09:22 1950635 Link 1 |

Must admit i'm finding it ever more difficult(but not impossible) to avoid rugger coverage on radio.A ridiculous amount of time devoted to it on Newstalk and RTE.And this for the club games.I've no doubt it will get even worse for the Five Nations so i will have to be quick on the radio diall to avoid this game-of-the-privileged hyperbole infiltrating my ears.Rugger buggers are head melters! cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 31/01/2017 17:33:54 1950640 Link 1 |

The national team is one thing but when your county GAA matches clash with pro 12 or European rugby matches attendance for rugby will fall, it's a small crowd that attend club rugby games as it is, I wouldn't worry too much about rugby over GAA riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 31/01/2017 19:09:14 1950667 Link 0 |

Probably some truth in that. A 26 year old man having to retire from complications following a concussion that happened 11 months ago is incredibly sad. Played until halftime in that game and was then taken off. Signed a new contract a week later but never played since I believe. Best of luck to him with whatever he does next.

I avoid it here also jimski!Haven't looked at this thread in weeks and am surprised it is still going.If i had a magic button to delete the thread i would,believe me. Egg ball is the preserve of the silver-spooned,eliteist,private schooled south county Dublin posh boys and the less of it anywhere the better.In the capital,GAA folk and eggball folk are chalk and cheese.Zero in common.Always has been and always will be.Lets stop giving the Ireland's Call brigade anymore airtime on here. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 31/01/2017 23:21:12 1950755 Link 0 |

Replying To rebelfan: "Will this thread ever die" Will this thread ever die rebelfan (Cork) - Posts:39 Tomsmith from Cavan here Rebel fan from County Cork you and your 38 sorry 39 posts How could you ever be so arrogant as to ask why /query why a post that has 35,000 views and around 800 replied from all over Ireland should be deleted. In future get some pre=posting advice from a good friend before your deride Tomsmiths posts tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts:2884 HILL 16 Dublin Tomsmith here See my response above to rebel fan from County Cork The same advice goes to you in relation to your arrogance in calling for an end to aPOst that has been viewd 35000 times an responded to by over800 people. So is the 35000 people that viewed this all wrong and Hill 16 is right . I rest my case and let you figure it out for yourself.

Walls are not the way to go when dealing with such issues.

Haha ormonde,you could be right there.I was down in Tipp last week at my Gran's funeral and was talking to a couple of my Kilfeacle cousins.They love the rugby and reckon another cousin,International rugby ref John Lacey from Tipp town will be getting some big games this year. I'm winding a few up on here with my dissing of all things rugby.I don't hate it.Never have.I didn't like the way it was in Dublin growing up (non existant out my way) but i always enjoyed watching it. I bunked off school in 1st year in Clondalkin and me and a pal got the bus into Landsdowne Rd to watch a rugby world cup group game with Ireland v Japan.It remains the only game i ever attended. I never missed a 5 nations game on the box with me Dad.I used love that old scottish commentator on BBC and players like Gavin Hastings and some Hendry lad.I remember leapin round the sittin room when Ireland beat England in '85 with a last gasp drop goal. Also,for over 10 years ive worked around the city for every single rugby international and big Leinster games and had manys a good conversation with fans from all over. There is no doubting though that rugby was only played in the private schools and affluent areas of Dublin when i was growing up.No one i ever knew played it.It was all GAA and soccer.To be honest i would have liked to have given it a go.Me cousins in Tipp say id have made a good front row.However due to the geography and circumstance it was never an option.Thankfully it does seem to be changing for the better now. It's good to rile the rugby toffs who have a bit of an attitude.Believe me,i've encountered a few,but most the rugby lads on here seem to be genuine and have a passion for it(even if it is a GAA forum!).It will always be down the list of favourite sports for me but when you get a good international game it makes for good viewing.That's the final comment i'll be making on rugby on here. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 02/02/2017 01:44:18 1951102 Link 0 |

Cued, have you seen any of the Ronnie hustling in America program yet? Is it worth looking out for? I heard him talking about it. Said no top pool player would ever make it in snooker but that it would take him about a year to be a top pool player. I was thinking it'd take him less than a year.
