Re: Home Pro 14 Semi-Final, Sat 18/5 @ The RDS, 15.00

I'm not taking them lightly though by any means, and I think the focus on their performance does Benetton a massive disservice, they were brilliant and would have won if the officials had been competent. Benetton would have won if Benetton were competent. They butchered two or three try’s in the se...

Re: Liverpool Thread

Mods, lock this thread. Don't worry LRIP. The last page, (not thread, page) was going since May 2016, such has been the interest and commitment of the self-styled "best fans in the world". Like other teams who favour the colour red, they sustain themselves with dreams of past glories and ...

Re: Final Tickets from tickets.ie?

Anyone else having problems getting their tickets. Bought 2 from the Leinster allocation via the tickets.ie website. Got an email saying they would be posted to me in the week commencing 29 April and to contact them if nothing received by 7 May. Nothing received as yet and they tell me today that t...

Re: Croke Park May 2nd 2009: 10 years on.

I felt good. Munster were too perfect and overhyped. My only worry was that we'd be exhausted after Quins. I was in the Stoop in the Quins section and was devastated that they sold tickets for semi straightaway and we had no way to buy tickets. Managed to get them but it was a struggle I'd forgotte...

Re: Leinster @ Ulster, Sat 27 Apr 17:15 KO

Joy is a far better ref than Clancy, she actually knows the rules of the game and adheres to them and if more refs did the same they wouldn't have to do these continual changes and tweaks. Tight contest and both sides infringed far more than they were penalised for, Leinster missed a penalty advant...

Re: Spare Champions Cup Final 2019 tickets

Anyone any idea when the sth sale is starting? It really is ridiculous. Waited all day yesterday for an email with contained little real information. Told that tickets will be on sale today but not at what time. Crazy amateurish stuff although it is unclear whether the fault lies with LR, EPRC or a...

Re: Semi Final ticket prices

Check Ryanair and Aer Lingus websites for cost of flights fromanywhere in South of France to Dublin from Holy Thursday till Easter Sunday. That will give you an idea why Toulouse will be lucky to have 1,500 supporters in Dublin on Easter Sunday. We've done a quick calculation and believe that any T...

Re: Aviva Premiership: something exciting happens

And each club would be selling 51% of their stake in the premiership - its actually a pretty poor deal for the clubs because once thats gone, its gone - so they'll be losing 51% of any future income on television deals etc and when CVC sell on, which is their MO, they won't get anything from that s...

Re: Cardiff v Leinster Fri 7.35 Eir/TG4

Sky regular have current players and managers in commentating on games in both rugby and football. Any examples? I really can't think of any. Jonathan Davies (as in the current Scarlets and Wales player) did punditry and commentary last year during a few Scarlets games. I also watched the game on R...

Re: Broadband and Sports packages.

Have you contacted Premier to see if they will sell the online version to Ireland ?

Re: Broadband and Sports packages.

There doesn't seem to be an option to buy an online subscription to view eirsport in a browesr? So if you don't have sky and you don't have eircom broadband then you can't get eirsport. Plus you can't get premier sport because they don't sell into Ireland. Does that sum it up? That's the situation ...
