The I'll Start a Munster Thread Before ... Thread

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Feck-all by way of good news on the injury front, but it is refreshing to read Rassie taking the bull by the horns in terms of what and how he hopes to achieve this season.

What do you think went wrong last year?

[SerjeantWildgoose]

POC left; POM, and Mike Sherry were broken and CJ and Connor spent too long away on international duties; Ian's confidence finally fell out of his arse and having let JJ go we had no recognised cover; Axel appeared unable to impose himself as a coach the way he could as a player and captain.

There was great promise under Penney, but he tried to change everything - and all of it too quickly. Rassie seems to recognise that the greatest strength in Munster r*gby are those traditional,if unattractive to the neutral, values of brute and pig-headed forwards that can hold on to the ball on a sodden shilling for 30-odd phases before popping it out for a fat winger to fall 5m over the line 8 minutes after the clock goes red for a 1-point, bonus point win.

You can tweek it, perhaps, to make room for a Dougie Howlett, but if you try and turn the whole 23 into passing, sprinting, offloading Simon Geogheans we're fecked. Munster are better for having 22 Claws and a ROG - and even better if ROG can cover tighthead.

What he said^^

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Sad fecking day when some eejit who claims to know anything about R*gby agrees with the shyte I would post.

Don't interrupt, I was about to add "is a load of ballix"

Fair play - the oul fekkker must be at least a colonel by now, so ballix would be par for the course.

[BBD]

He must be nearly running the army by now, key to the executive trench and a company tank, all that trappings of status jazz

I love coming on this message board and when I read some threads it could honestly be in a foreign language for all the sense it makes.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

We're asserting our European credentials.

[BBD]

If you see a phrase you recognise, shout BINGO!

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Its good to know were being watched, mind. Makes all that paranoia easier to handle.

[BBD]

Can you direct your comments more towards the light fitting please, we're struggling to pick up the occasional vowel,
It's important to keep your vowels regular

[Mellsblue]

If you see a phrase you recognise, shout BINGO!

It's unlikely. I haven't seen anything containing 'jolly good show', 'spiffing' or 'pass me the champers Jonty'.

[BBD]

Will someone direct Mellsblue towards the Leinster thread please

[SerjeantWildgoose]

I want to know which bit of her is blue, before I direct her anywhere!

[Mellsblue]

Cripes. What is it called when one man is misogynistic towards another man when thinking he's a woman.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Cripes?! We've a foul mouthed scamp among us by jimminy!

Welcome, friend. We don't tend to get many folks visiting the Irish board; in fact not too many of us tend to visit it either. Of those who do visit, most go to laugh at the Ulstermen. Us lot are so far beneath contempt that we're not even funny any more. Except when Dom tries to talk to girls.

[Mellsblue]

I know how this board works. I lurk here every now and again, mainly to see EW switch from the Queen's English on the EMB to whatever it is you speak here. You're a friendly bunch, if a bit strange.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

We tend not to take ourselves too seriously, though Eugene does go a bit Presbyterian every once in a while, Bilston is usually quite Baptist and there was a bloke called Uncle Bob Mugabwe who just nicked everyone's farm and shat everywhere. 'course them's all Ulster types and you'd not be too cheerful if you had to put up with the 'RA, the 'DA and Julian Simmons.

... and Spiffy is positively Calvinist! The miserable, moose-shagging wanker!

I would take that badly if we were not related by blood. I'll just grin and Birr it.

[Mellsblue]

Yep. Not a clue.

[SerjeantWildgoose]

Way, way, way back in the days of the BBC boards there was somewhat of a controversy surrounding the highly unlikely but therefore entirely probable likelihood that my father, a Zulu, who was working at Kilroot as a production foreman and part-time gigolo got hammered and lashed one into old Mrs Spiff who was upon hard times and scratching a meagre living selling shoe laces and green cross stamp books on the ramparts of Carrickfergus castle - hence the blood brothers thing.

The whole Birr thing is not easy to explain - feck, yes it is. Birr is the most boring hole on the planet.

See, 'tis aisy, so 'tis.

[BBD]

There's no wimmin here, not since Sarj tried to entertain the troops with his elephant impression and took it too far with an iced finger
