Football referees: time for rugby style respect?

[rekil]

really?
i was under the impression a minute ago that normal folk only bothered with the GAA

Go back and read what I wrote, concentrate on the word 'play' for a few moments.

How many players in the Irish squad aren't from a fee-paying school. Having cash isn't even a guarantee of getting a place in these schools, since they give priority to relations of past pupils and staff. It's old boy network bollocks that fosters cronyism, corruption, inequity and mediocrity and that's what's so repulsive to me about the whole racket. Fr.Peter McVerry, himself a jesuit, was right, the lot of them should be shut down.

What the hell has this got to with the thread, really? I suspect you've just stored up this tiresome rant for any slightly linked thread, labouring under the misapprehension that it's actually relevant and contributes anything of insight. Still, you can't often stop a man making a fool out of himself jumping onto his favourite hobbyhorse.

Anyd besides, are you really going to tell me that football doesn't suffer from nepotism, cronyism and corruption? From the sons of Allardyce and Ferguson through to brown paper envelopes and paid-off referees, I'd wager football has a far worse reputation. And rugby referees still seem to retain their independence and authority far more easily than the average football official.

 

[rekil]

I apologise for offending ireland's rugger bugger wankers. They don't like it up em.

 

[Red Faction]

Because you're bullshitting?

you're arguing with munstermen and munster rugby fans over the state of rugby within munster

and you think we're bullshitting

 

[Mr Retro]

Because you're bullshitting?

Nope . That would be you.

Making statements without evidence is bullshitting. Which is what you are doing.

Is Irish rugby dominated by wealthy sorts from fee-paying schools or not?

 

[Red Faction]

Is Irish rugby dominated by wealthy sorts from fee-paying schools or not?

where on earth did that question come from?

i refer you back you the crux of our argument:

I'm pretty sure it's the same case in Munster and the rest of the country.

now

im waiting for you to admit that you're talking bollocks
before you make any other stupid generalisations about rugby within a province you seem to know very little about

 

[editor]

ah right and here was me thinking i had just articulated the logos. Of course it is me projecting, my hatred for that game is close to pathological, i'd never defile it to the phallus of reason, never.. I'm just happy here swimming in my own bile.

I've no idea what you're on about, but your toytown stereotypes have ably demonstrated that you know precious little about rugby.

Instead of stamping your feet and having a (bizarre) hissy fit, why not take this opportunity to broaden your knowledge so you won't have to make such an arse of yourself in the future?

 

[editor]

I for one would hate to see the game become as boring as Rugby, i enjoy the soap opera moments.

Yeah, because football used to be really, really boring when overpaid, spoilt brat players didn't pointlessly argue with the ref and throw temper tantrums at every turn, eh?

 

[Relahni]

Yeah. I wish we allowed to throw bananas at blacks again.

here speaks a true Chelsea fan.



racist cunt.

what's not to understand, i hate rugby and have outlined my reasons why, it's hardly an international crisis and i'm hardly claiming any grand truth from my extremely biased experiance.

ffs we are arguing over sports it's hardly meant to be Benthamite rationalism.

Actually i have learn something about rugby union, it is not just for posh wankers it's also a game enjoyed by leek mining sheep shaggers.

Do you also have out and out racism in your small-minded, xenophobic repertoire, stupid boy?

 

[revol68]

oh and when exactly was the golden age? Was it when players were able to break each other legs and get a yellow? Or was it when firms stalked the terraces? It's just another non issue being pushed by morons with nothing better to worry about.

Catch a grip you eejit, you're just getting carried away on a retarded nostalgia trip, it's just Daily Mail "you used to be able to leave your door unlocked" for the sports. Seriously I enjoyed the wee fight yesterday i only wish they'd had the balls to actually hit each other, i mean the football was pretty good but at the end of the day it's the league cup.

youse are barely a nation nevermind a race, get over yourselve, you don't see me going off when someone makes a daft jibe about the Oirish. I suppouse we can;t make crap jokes about scouse car thieves either?

Have you any idea what an utter arse you've made of yourself in this thread?

First you start off revealing your laughable ignorance of rugby, then you move on to some clueless dross about how football players having spoilt-brat hissyfits somehow makes the game more exciting and then you cap it off with a bout of embarrassing xenophobia.

Still, keep digging....

 

[Balbi]

You know if all of those Rugby players weren't playing Rugby, they'd be out murdering and raping people. It's a way to siphon off aggression and frustration.

yes i've made a complete tit of myself because i'm taking this all as serious as youse fannies.

lets recap, i said i hated rugby and my reasons why, note this wasn't claimed as a kantian universal imperative.

I then said i enjoyed abit of the ole priemership pantomine which I do and to be honest so do lots of people, gives them something to talk about, as shown on these forums. I then made a tongue in cheek crap gag about the welsh being sheepshagging leek throwers. OH NOES MYS REPUTATION IS IN TEH BITS!!!111!

Oh and welsh people claiming a gag about sheepshagging is racist is just beyond a farce, it's provincial stereotyping, the kind of shit that goes on all the time. Or maybe you have some terrible story of genocide and oppression that was justified by your love of leeks.

 

[revol68]

oh and when can i expect the closed yes or no question Editor, they seem to be your modus operandi?

 

[Balbi]

This is going to go so very, very well.

 

[revol68]

you are a muppet.

right then explain to me what makes the welsh any different from scousers, geordies, brummies or scots? These are generally seen as legitimate targets for crap banter, being as it is nothing more than an outgrowth of localism.
Keep this up and you'll be bigger whingers than irish nationalists.

 

[editor]

Oh and welsh people claiming a gag about sheepshagging is racist is just beyond a farce...

Who said that then?

Keep digging.

 

[Relahni]

This is going to go so very, very well.

You are still Balbi...

I thought you were going to change to daffobalbi?

 

[revol68]

Do you also have out and out racism in your small-minded, xenophobic repertoire, stupid boy?

does that answer your question, yes or no?

or perhaps it was just the leek mining part you thought was racist?

Which group are you putting me in?

 

[Balbi]

And leave milesy with nothing to do all day? Never.

The needs of the milesy, outweigh the needs of the few

 

[editor]

does that answer your question, yes or no?

Just when I thought you couldn't dig yourself in any deeper!

Do you want to try and answer my question again?

Which Welsh person has claimed a gag about sheepshagging is "racist," please?

 

[revol68]

Which group are you putting me in?

whinging welsh people and those who might claim that a crap joke about leeks and sheep is racist or xenophobic. I inducted you might well be part of this group from the fact you rolled your eyes at me pointing out the retardedness of such a position. Forgive me if i was wrong, in the future I'll still to pure deduction, maybe Popper had a point.
