Richard Harris and Terry Wogan too.

Apologies, disenfranchisement has got the better of me. Mea culpa.

Musgrave Park is a white elephant, which MR should have sold off around 2007 for big bucks . Instead they went with a cheap tart-up and now struggle to get even 4000 to attend low-grade p12 games. Losing Musgrave made sense from a financial perspective, but given this will be coming down the line a...

Poor ol' Dolly. As soon as a couple of posters query his poorly conceived and wordered verbal diarrhea he naturally assumes they must be one and the same person. Sad, really.

Anyone whoever wondered why Leinsterfans are so despised even by their own collegiate, would do well to read the above 15 or so posts.

Embarressing doesn't come close.

Girls, do yourself a favour and concentrate on the nail-bar, Hollywood/Brazilian and sunbed.

Should I take it as some sort of a complement that Bender B has a hard-on for me?

At least poor ol' Tom of Montferrand sleeps somewhat easier tonight.

Why listen to a band who rip off Paul Simon, ripping off South African steel guitar music and think they're somehow innovative and novel.

You must have loved the Thrills...they were so real.

At least the guys from the Strypes have the excuse of being children and from Caaaaavaaann.

The ramifications of this decision are significant on a number of levels. Rugby in Munster has always been a fusion of the working-class, Limerick "Pride & Honesty" brigade, and the rather more urbane, middle-class "Corkonian Constitution Mafioso". Tipp, Clare and Kerry have ...

Just heard they've chosen Knackeragua. How the fcuk are we going to attract NIQs to live in that filthy, fcuking sh1thole. Glorious Corkonia has produced the vast majority of our younger players, and yet their reward is to be forced to live in that open prison. How long before one of our chaps is r...

Heard a rumor they're replacing the blue with unicorn jizz on the front with a rather striking pink with chocolate starfish on the back - tutu and stilettos are optional (though necessary) extras.

oh goody more interprovincial mickey waving :roll: . f%~k off back to shelbyville where you can all pat yourselves on the back and indulge in the fantasy of next year while deluding yourselves into thinking that you actually won the focking match last saturday. Looks like poor ol' Caliban Tate has ...

So that's why Andy C left. Pushed out by Johnny Foreigner. Surprised he hasn't been onto Nigel Farrage*.

*The Pale still being part of the UK, as testified by 433 and his above "imports" comment!

Of course we will. Sure haven't donated all ours to Munster. AND created loads of forwards. Fact: Of your 6 frontline front-rowers only 1 is from Leinster. 2 being from Munster, 2 from RSA and 1 from NZ. Well done... :clap: ...The dog in your avatar may now have a biscuit. :lol: which 2 of Jamie Ha...

We have 2 NIE outside backs, with one of those retiring. Do the math. (hint 1 < 3)... :lol: And there I was thinking Warwick, Mafi, Howlett and Tuitupou were foreign when they were all in the Munster match day squad for a season. To paraphrase Father Ted : "That was then Ceemac, this is now!&q...

ERC European Player of the Year 2013 Official Shortlist 1. Julien Bonnaire 2. Jamie Heaslip 3. Wesley Fofana 4. Sitiveni Sivivatu 5. Jonny Wilkinson Think it's between Fofana and Sivivatu but interesting that Jamie got a nod. Leaving provincial bias aside (POM and TOD being far worthier candidates ...

My point is that Munster are no strangers to importing rafts of backs. What will you have on the books next year? Five of ours? Two of whom were complete rejects in fairness, another one via Connacht, and two poached (even contract breaking - insert whatever smiley demonstrates shamelessness here) ...

There is 0% chance of the IRFU sanctioning 4 NIE backs at Leinster next season. It's already pretty embarrassing that you were allowed 3. Of course we will. Sure haven't donated all ours to Munster. AND created loads of forwards. Fact: Of your 6 frontline front-rowers only 1 is from Leinster. 2 bei...

I believe there is a general perception - rightly or wrongly - amongst the Irish public who don't follow rugby with much more than a passing interest (i.e. circa 90%) that Munster are somehow representative of the plucky, salt-of-the-earth, Irish underdog, while Leinster represent South Dublin, pseu...
