Only thing thats stopping me is not being able to fully add Live tv the way I'd like to, but I may still get this and put it in bedroom,and stream the TV up from another PC that CAN take the TV input.

Yea they look awesome but the really strong looking teams have a habit of tripping up in the final and I think Madglen are going for a fourth win which would be a record number of wins for a college over the 40 odd years. Still I'd be making them about 1/2 Fav on form.

Looks like 1/2 would have been a bargain. They smashed it.

Some of the tweets by the Irish lads this evening

Gary Wilson: What is going on? Excuse the French but that is a sh*t decision! Not a world cup now, just a trophy with 10 teams. Heads up their own a***s
Paul Stirling: @gwilson14 Didn't think u cud get a worse decision than ure lbw gainst the windies... I stand corrected ha!
Trent Johnston: The ICC have certainly made my decision to retire after the 2012 T/20 World Cup very easy, thanks for the memories... #cricket #icc.
Boyd Rankin: Thanks ICC!! What does Irish cricket got to do?? Shambles!!
William Porterfield: Trying to compensate it with 16 teams in the T20, is that cuz they make more dollars by having a few more teams in this format by any chance!!#icc
Niall O'Brien: mate just got of the field and I'm gutted with this news! This could halt the progress of irish cricket beyond repair. So sad now
Barry Chambers (media manager): ICC - no morals - no sense of fair play or natural justice. They are a disgrace and unfit to govern

What is stopping the smaller non test teams having there own world cup event ?

[rounders123]

sounds good

Cheers will consider this despite it clashing with the masters(know you hate the golf though!), having el tren with us at the IO rail is another option(he wont know until the nite!).
On here much less these days on account of work software blocking the site. Boards.ie is good though so 5starpool obv not doing his job properly.
Played recently in bluff swords and didnt have to be reminded to put out the blinds once. Some skills you just dont lose.

They have their own events...previously a qualifying tournament, also a 4 day inter-continental cup. They deserve to have at least some representation at the main event

1) So some players play from Leinster who aren't from South Dublin? So - doesn't affect my issues.

2) Cool, but if you are a decent teenage athlete who doesn't go to those schools or associate with those who do you aren't going to feel anything towards the whole machine. It doesn't naturally represent you. Rugby does not automatically equal Leinster for me.

3) As I said originally, they made great strides over the past 10 years. But I was in school up to 10 years ago. Get it? When I was developing sporting allegiance Leinster was a badly supported entity stuffed with gutless players representative of a narrow slice of Dublin / Leinster society. As such, it did not appeal to me.

4) I watched a bunch of Irish, Munster and Leinster games this year with former Gonzaga / Blackrock lads. They HATE Munster just as much as I hate Leinster. Hate Munster players getting selected, will tell you O' Callagan and O' Connell aren't fit to lace Cullen's boots etc, etc. If you think the hate flows the one way you are deluded.


Ultimately, you haven't a fucking clue about my background, where my sense of identity comes from and what has honed it. Leinster did not represent me growing up. And now it's too late for people like me. The ship has sailed.

As I said above, when I played for Leinster Hockey, I felt extremely detached from the kids I played with. Different Dublin altogether. You can't change what I feel or where I come from. Sense of identity is not a rational subject.

Jeez, get over yourself with the working-class martyr act.

Don't particularly have a problem with you supporting Munster but your opinion of Leinster rugby is disgustingly prejudiced and just plain wrong.

I went to Templeogue College. Just incase you think we're part of the bourgeois I'll state that half my school were from Tallaght with most of the others from Perrystown/Templeogue or elsewhere in the local area. We used to trot out on our milk-bottle legs every Wednesday to get the absolute bollocks knocked out of us by the "big" schools.

Leinster rep players were few and far between at the school for 2 main reasons.

1) Player pool, most lads didn't want to play rugby and focussed on GAA or Soccer instead, fair enough.

2) Resources; a public school like Templeogue obv can't compete with the private ones.

I'd imagine this is the case in most public schools that play rugby. We never got bitter about it. It's not unfair that other schools have more representative players, they're just plain better.

Any of the lads that went to trials or the rare ones that made Leinster rep never had any problems getting along with the guys from richer schools. Any of the guys that went up to Mary's club after school get along fine with the lads from Mary's, High School, Gerrards and wherever else.

You can hardly claim there's ever been a concerted effort by the D4 elite to exclude the plebs, it just so happened that people from working-class backgrounds by and large weren't interested. That's not the branch's fault. Now that interest is growing they're adapting and taking measures like sending coaches to any schools that are interested in developing a team.

The perceived prejudice and snobbery is your problem, not Leinster rugby's.

[dannydiamond]

Can you recommend a movie for me lads. I've seen very few that have been released the last couple of years.
A good sci-fi would be a bonus. Tyty.

[Iago]

Post on the right forum next time! for your information it's the first real chance I've had to be online for a few days. Lucky for you too or I'd of had to ban you for this later!

I know a couple of the Soccer Mods post and lurk here and I'm sorry for bugging ye over there but your moderation of that thread is ****ing abysmal.

You let defamatory, hateful and downright insulting posts slide without so much as a by-your-leave. It makes me ****ing sick reading some of the stuff and not seeing a single moderators intervention other than Dub13 making an off-hand comment about it not becoming a GAA -v- Soccer thing.

Pathetic work lads. Pathetic.

[Ste05]

Comments like this tilt the bejaysus out of me.

A few freaks in Omagh have similar feelings about another topic.

Edit: Obviously thats overly harsh but it's so annoying reading about people who refuse to change an opinion.

[Kayroo]

LOL

Meant to post something about the Soccer Mods essentially being pathetic in their moderation of the Soccer Forum thread on McAteer in THIS THREAD but accidentally posted it in THAT thread.

Sorry Soccer Mods (Iago, Dub13 etc) it was meant for here, not there. I really am sorry if it caused any trouble at all. Really I am.

To be fair, I spent 5 minutes scanning the thread and found a plethora of abusive and defamatory posts that were roundly applauded by that forum. It's been a joke from minute one.

You know I like you Iago so don't take it personally. Just found the whole episode distasteful really.

It's a good thing it's not rational because if you think rugby in Limerick and Cork isn't the same as it is in Dublin then you are greatly mistaken. Your narrow view of the Leinster team is just that, narrow and myopic.

I understand allegiances have been formed, opinions won't be changed. Still, from the "voice of reason" I'd hoped for more.

SPOILER

Last sentence may have been a shameless trolling exercise.

Meh, only a partial swing, genuinely dont understand why they feel the need to defend themselves on the footie forum. Ive never read their forum, been linked to one or two bigoted threads on hoganstand around the time the gaa tried to kill a loi club but no chance Id ever sign up or post.
