Time to Paint the Town Red
Dec | April 20, 2006This weekend the population of Dublin must stand up and be counted. No, not in the census. Well, ok, in the census of course (before an army of yellow jacketed census enumerators descend on my office for a lynching), but also in a far more important matter. There is only one question that must be answered this weekend! Are you a dweeby Leinster fan or a proud Munster supporter?
Let’s mess with the Leinster fans minds and get everyone who supports a real rugby team to wear something red over the weekend. Wear a Munster jersey if you have it, but a red t-shirt or even a Liverpool/Man United jersey will do in a crunch. That red jumper your mother-in-law bought you 5 years ago. A red hat, scarf or gloves. Red trousers (shudder) or skirt. Girls, how about the red lingerie your Leinster born boyfriend bought you last valentines day (really mess with his mind).
Let’s show Leinster which team is REALLY playing at home this weekend.
Come on Munster!
Ahem!! Excuse me Mr, I think you’ll find that you’re more than a little out-numbered by Leinster fans here on this site, so, you’re a brave man.
All I’ll say is I reckon you should put your money where your mouth is and we’ll see how you stand on Monday morning!
Also, whilst I know Leinster rugby fans have the reputation that they do, and whilst I know we still put up a poor show in comparison to our red(neck) brethern down south, our recent visit to Toulouse highlighted that there are many thousands of genuine (non D4) Leinster fans out there, who really know their stuff, and are starting to rival the mighty Munster fans for passion and belief in their team!
Speaking of us as dweeby Leinster fan as you look out your office window at the home of Leinster Rugby is being a bit brave, and talk like that might have more than just census enumerators descending on your office sometime soon!!!
Here Here Daragh ….
I’m so confident Leinster are gonna win, I’ve tickets to the final already.
I’m predicting a ROUTING!
You and me both dude!!
I know NOTHING about rugby…but screw Munster! Up Leinster! UP!
That’s the spirit!
Well I’ll have you know I will be wearing my Munster jersey tomorrow and proud to do so. May even wander into the lions den of Kielys to see if the Leinster fans recognise it…
lol…I’m off to post a tip-off to leinsterfans.com!!
Yes indeed this weekend we see another glorious defeat
for the red army. Forever the brides maids….
What happens if it’s a draw? Extra time? Penalty shoot out?
Ugh, don’t ask difficult questions. It gets quite messy, if it’s a draw at full time, the result is decided on try count, the team with the most tries in the game wins. If this is level also, they play 15 minutes a side of extra time. If it’s still a tie after this, it goes to goal-kicks, a la conversions….I think. Not entirely sure on this….have only seen it happen once in all my years watching rugby!
I watched the last Munster and Leinster games in Kielys and there were loads of Munster fans there. Wonder if they will be brave enough to enter this time
Although they only get a handful of people at their Celtic League games, the Monster bandwagon will be inflicted upon Dublin this weekend. Yes, the people who actually take pleasure in watching boring, up the jumper, unadventurous rugby and actually believe that the game only began in the year 2000. Given that Limerick requires >50k inhabitants to fulfill city status according to the census on Sunday night, they could lose out big time if they get down graded to town status. Best head back straight after the match lads.
Duff Paddy is a cunt and anything he says should be treated as pure bullshit. The End.
Charming.
Hmm, after watching the match in Kielys today, I think I will just sit here and smile smugly
