That's a load of balderdash. Everyone I know has nothing but respect for Stringer.

He's winding you up Simply. He is referring to the game where everyone was chanting Luuuuuuke, and munster fans interpreted it as booooooing Stringer.
I think it was the last time they beat us in Dublin. 2008. Perhaps that's why he gave up visiting us. :wink:

Should have said a section of the crowd (housed under the Anglesea stand). They were shushed by the way, but I'd never heard/seen anything like that at a match before.

The usual thing is to clap when someone is being carted off on a streter. Play was stopped, was Luuuuuuke fixing his hair or something that his name would be chanted :roll:

PS - Munster rarely won in Dublin.

Bernie, I'll type slowly for you. Sexton isn't popular with a lot of the general public because they think he was very disrespectful to O'Gara. The long and the short of that is that if he is able to dish out abuse, people expect him to be able to take it as he has demonstrated that it is a a mode of communications that he seems at ease with.

you can't type slowly enough to make sense

poor rog, he needs sympathy and protection because that horrible man was mean to him :lol:

even my 6 year old is more grown up than that
As far as I understand it, ROG couldn't give a rats arse about the public not loving him ... now young johnny seems to find it a bit more difficult to deal with (I didn't start the thread about ROG getting a hard time from them from the pale, I'm just explaining why johnny might be getting a hard time from them ones down south (& every where else as well) )

I don't believe that. What's the story Janeymac, are you wumming again or are you just totally paranoid?

I'm not the paranoid one here. Its no biggie, I used to go to Leinster games regularly (not just when Munster were involved) and I don't go anymore. I'm sure I'm no loss. Simple.

You weren't in Musgrave the day TOL got injured against the Scarlets before the Lions tour then?

This thread should now be moved into the General section under "In need of a laugh". It's brilliant!! Has really brightened up my day :lol: Many thanks to one particular poster who's on my ignore list but gets quoted a lot.

Lots of the blame game doing the rounds:

4th post on this thread:
I heard lots of jeering and sections of the crowd laughing when Sexton was preparing to take kicks at goal, anybody know what that was about?
6th post
The jeering happens every game. Punter behind me didn't say a peep except when Jonno missed a kick he shouted "No", but the glee in his voice really said "Yes"

I hate the Aviva. I've decide to call it the Aviva after persisting with LR for a while now, but Lansdowne Road is dead and this horrible, bloated, zombie stands in her place
The attitude to Sexton from certain sections of the crowd has been a problem for quite a while now, and it seems to me that he's a target in a way that few other (Irish) players are. They don't like him at all down south, as anyone who's attended our games at Mordor could testify. This is a new phenomenon, ROG never had to deal with anything like that at the same stage of his career.
Don't be going into the kitchen if you can't take the heat. :wink:

So this entire post does nothing but emphasise BW's point, yet you take it as some sort of Leinster/Munster thing? :clap:

When Leinster played Tolouse there, it was one of the best atmospheres i've experienced in any game. Generally the atmosphere there has been very good with Leinster, with the exception of the awful peno fest v Munster this season.

Must just be an Irish thing...

It's a darby thing. (Yes I know it's spelt derby. Bit of a Clerk Clark thing)

The world over, where 2 big sports clubs are in proximity there is always niggle.

Sounds doubtful given that you've probably been to many games in Limerick. I was in the terraces there for the final last year surrounded by "The most knowledgable fans in rugby" hurling abuse at whichever Leinster player was holding the ball at the time (when they weren't telling us to put our stupid f***ing flags away that is).

He's winding you up Simply. He is referring to the game where everyone was chanting Luuuuuuke, and munster fans interpreted it as booooooing Stringer.
I think it was the last time they beat us in Dublin. 2008. Perhaps that's why he gave up visiting us. :wink:
Was that the game he vacated after headbutting/running into one of his own players ??

I've no respect for Stringer after the Holwell incident. I would't boo him, but what goes around comes around.
