Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - BabyforV

[V for Vendetta]

just heard that Conor murray neck injury is a lot worse than has been released and its very serious with a good chance of ending his career. Whatever way the disk is he will pretty much severe his spinal cord in a heavy collision which is fine in day to day life but a guarantee in rugby.

Has anyone else heard anything on it? I would rate the source as reliable but he is not murray spinal surgeon so who knows. He also recons that sexton has pretty serious damage and the last conclusion was a bleed and he will now get knocked out by pretty much anything for the rest of his career and might not make it back.

Fucker really messing with my Sunday

Heard the same sort of career ending talk about SOB a month ago. Lads like to talk like they are in the know. Just have to wait and see I guess.

If Clermont win this game, English teams make up the away side in all 4 Qfs...

We've Bath at home for a QF no matter the outcome in this game anyway.

The amount of retards on boards who couldn't work that out is unreal. Not helped by BT but still...

[Strewelpeter]

Leinster home to Glasgow if the fulltime whistles blew now. What a spawny outcome that would be.

Spawny
Not sure what that means but I'd rather be playing one of the French teams that are not Toulon in Dublin than Glasgow who seem to me to really have got their act together.

[oleras]

BUMP.

I will stick it on the boards thread later if noone here wants it.

Any folks close to Navan ?

Spawny = Lucky.
Probably right about Toulouse being preferable to Glasgow, I tend to be 10 years behind the trends and still think of Toulouse and StadeFrancais as the powerhouses.

Well the away semi against Clermont in Bordeaux was the greatest game in leinsters history IMO. Having to now produce an away win against Toulon chasing 3 in a row without BOD, Nacewa and Sexton is some ask but it's pretty juicy carrot from a players perspective with the right attitude.

It could be a career highlight game and you have to embrace that opportunity.

Well id say they'll take care of Bath and I fancied racing at home. Final was another days work alright!
Putting up a better performance than the lie down in Toulon last year is the priority.

Hitchhikers Lock of the Year that they'd stay in the euro this year.
I think his logic was fine though and even now theres chances they'll stay in even if negotations will be tough. And his last ace is that even if they leave theres a good chance it would be timed for Jan 2nd next year or suchlike so he'd strictly speaking still be a winner.

I heard some twit on the radio trying to hang it on Edna as if it was anything to do with him what Lowry does

I guess people can make inferences from the way it happened.

Either a) Lowry just suddenly decided for the first time to throw in a bit of unpleasant sexism when suggesting prospective appointments to Kenny, or b) the language used is a continuation of previous such conversations and Lowry knows that Kenny has absolutely no problem with it.

Obviously its 'a' that will be the official story.

The only sexist part was saying she was 'a woman' . The not bad looking comment could
be said about a man or a woman and is just inappropriate. Either way can they not get a man for the job ffs ?

We're going obv. Marseilles and bouillabaisse.

That Clermont-Munster game being fixed for 4.30 on a Sunday is turning out to be a great result, in terms of brownie point EV.

Will be interesting to see how\if the bookies reprice this. Unless Syriza are genuinely bent on Argentinising themselves, I really can't see it happening. The rock of leaving is a magnitude worse than the hard place of staying.

Don't know as I'll be flying in\out of Brussels and taking the TGV down with some deviants who live there. Rampant debauchery at 200 kph.

Williams's take on it that the Italians have taken over ECB and are trying to turn the Euro into a new Lira is interesting.

Fly into Marseille and a train to Toulon (about 45 mins) gives the most options. Flights to Marseille with Ryanair and Easyjet. I was over for the quarter final last year. Ryanair fly into Toulon but did not have a return flight on the Monday (game was a Sunday) so changed and flew Stansted - Marseille with Easyjet. There is a Gatwick-Marseille flight also.

There is an Ibis hotel right beside the Stadium and the rugby village. It is about a 20min walk up to the main Irish Bar in Toulon also. Overall Toulon was a bit of a dive though...

Semi has to be played at a neutral venue I thought? Hence assuming Marseilles.

[Fuzzy Logic]

Good point. Marseille is likeliest and where we though they would move the QF game to originally iirc as Stade Mayol is smaller.

[Emmet]

Game will be played in Marseille.

Fly to Marseille is probably easiest way of getting there

Given the glacial pace of affairs in Europe I think it's a safe bet even if they are intent on leaving.

As a complete technophobe I have a question.

I use Utorrent on my HTC ONE M8 to download stuff. It has been working fine until this weekend. Now though when I try and download I click the link to download and the app opens it doesn’t do anything where before it would auto download the torrent!

I have deleted and re-installed the app and its still the same! WTF is wrong with it?

Can anyone help?

Yeah Zac I have plenty. No matter what I try to download big or small it's the same, the Utorrent app opens and nothing happens. Usually the message of where to add the file comes up and when I click add it starts. That doesn't happen now.

Is handball actually a minority sport as such? Seems very popular in all of Europe except for Ireland and the UK - I wonder if its just the fact we don't play it that leads us to call it a minority sport.
I don't really find it that much of a spectacle myself to be honest but it clearly must have something going for it.

Its one of the sports I think of when people express surprise at why Germany or Poland or the Scandis don't have a decent rugby team - presumably its because they place it behind handball, basketball, winter sports etc, which are played very little in Ireland.

definitely not a minority sport in most of Europe, but it's still the group stages of the championship (no idea which day he went but i'd say there would be some very empty days for some of those games) and it's in Qatar ffs! not sure there would be a huge fan base willing to travel there.

It's a great spectator sport imo - saw a couple of games at the Olympics years back. Reasonably violent too.

Well it doesnt work on Wifi or 4g when it used to on both. I have my phone with 3 and Wifi with UPC.

I'll try T Torrent thanks.

Just one more thing to try Eoghan. Tuen off phone and remove battery for a few second then inser and reboot. I find sometimes that this helps when apps go all fuckitty.
