Sounds like the usual mixed bag. Some arseholes overreacting to a tense situation, the majority of decent people just watching the match. Sure weren't we accused of stealing the stationary of visiting fans once? Who the f%~k brings stationary to a game? If so, why would Leinster fans want it? All a...

Did MOC sign these players? Some of them, yes, eg Lote in addition to extending others eg Kirchner, who has been utterly useless. He's continued to pick certain players when they were playing like a drain, see one, Gopperth, Jimmy. He has utterly ignored the academy, we have an academy full of outs...

So you defer to their experience and dont question the obvious bias either might have? As for the "soccer fans", sacking an underperforming manager is the norm, its rare failure is rewarded, as failure means relegation, its a more high stakes environment in football. Rugby is a pro game, t...

Definitely thought there was a different vibe from last year's. That thing in French rugby about it being "bad manners for the away side to win" may have rung true. Generally I found their fans to be friendly but there was definitely a rougher element this time. Where we were sitting we w...

I know shag all about the inner workings of professional rugby. Therefore i rely on the information provided by the people who have had the experience. What TH & EOS said about the people calling for the head coach to be sacked is akin to a soccer fans reaction. Their take on it (TH & EOS),...

Hmmm, yes, two lifelong Irish rugby insiders with no history of rocking the boat, one of whom has mates in the camp and is trying to forge a career in Irish rugby , the other is currently a coach and a former IRFU insider who also copped the same flak MOC does, in "Don't want coach sacked for ...

Trevor Hogan got quite angry about this on OTB last night and EOS couldn't fathom calls for him to be sacked either. EOS actually made some very good points but then some fairly misinformed/pointless ones and as much as I respect his opinion (and I really do, think he's a quality pundit) it's quite...

Saw Blue not red blood in the stands singing his heart out! :happy clapper: Saw the Leinster team show some character today and that is to be commended. But when we had a shot at a final when Williams was binned we needed to attack and we made a balls of it. But when you haven't done it all season,...

COYBIB!!!

Leinsters' next worry is Ulster, not Clermont.

Remember when you had that "positive Donny " phase? Can we have that guy back? I'm fairly sure no one has "given up" Sometimes organisations just go through hard times. Not down to any one thing or person. Sh1t just spirals out of everyone's control. I've always been "posit...

She did, It's Joe Schmidt

How long has Wayne Barnes been an international ref? In that time what has our winning percentage been in our games which he has refereed? In that time what has our winning percentage been in our games he hasn't refereed? Well there's 3 questions in row that I couldn't give a f%~k as to what the an...

I hear that Mr Potato-head has been offered another massive wedge to belly-flop scrums and give away penalties. Foley and Fitzgerald really know how to run their beloved liiiginnds into the ground. Anyone would think they were Leinsterfans in disguise. I hear that Mr Potato-head has been offered an...

I'm aware of that, but what has that to do with anything?

Great win! Now we know that Heaslip missing from the team doesn't matter anymore! His unseen work wasn't missed today, And this is why MOC is so bad. Schmidt alwasy got his players to play to a standard at Leinster and it did not matter who was wearing the jersey. The same players under Moc look fa...
