I think Mark is a great bloke and I cannot believe some of the abuse he got
Now that rugby's oldest bridesmaid has finally got hitched, she can cast a haughty glance towards Leinster, her high-living sister from Dublin, who, despite her immense beauty and vast potential, has trouble getting lucky.
Ok, our lineout was shambolic and my impressions of the match are perhaps over-coloured by the thrilling final 10 minutes, but God Shaggy was on fire and Darce's drop goal was sublime and well, I still can't believe how little money people expect me to pay to watch BOD play. I mean being within earshot of Mullet was worth the entry fee alone. Anyone on for a run of “Kill!” t-shirts before Friday?
Thanks again JF for organising the bus.

Speaking of abuse, as I was cheering in Disco boots running in the forth try, in the midst of a load of Connacht 'fans', I was told to 'Fock off home you Leister focker', very welcoming! These are the same guys who were shouting abuse at Drico by calling him a 'doctor's son', which I thought was more fact than anything else! I've been to a fair amount of away games and have never heard abuse like this.
I wonder do people get the same kind of hassle in the brook?

That's not good to hear - I hope there's no more than banter in the Brook - although I guess the line between banter and abuse is somewhat subjective. Only away ground I've had abuse thrown at me is Musgrave.

That bit about Brian's Dad is actually funny! If they think that was some sort of taunt then God love their imbecillic brains. Probably the first rugby match they'd been at.

Really?
Well that's a shame, but you get idiots everywhere I suppose.
There was a few young guys behind the main Leinster group making a few smart comments but they were drowned out by our chanting and singing as the game went on. There were just annoying, I mean we had to tell them to shut up for their own kicks at goals ffs!
But most of the Connacht fans I met were grand. As for the "Doctor's son" thing, well that's just strange.
I love Galway and the people there, whilst in the queue for the jacks at half time, some little 10 year old kid turns around to me and goes "Leinster SUCK!" so I says to him "oh yeah! well what does it say on the scoreboard kid?", this stuns him for a few seconds until he turns back around with the killer comeback "Yeah? Well they still suck!" Great craic.

Experienced something similar in the second half...a few Connacht tw@ts were slagging. I called the ref a clown and one of them goes...'Whats a clown in Dublin?' the other replied, 'Must be some new term of slaggin'. I was also told to go home whilst I was calling McHugh a scumbag! they didn't like the KILL thing and they certainly didn't like MM, they just kept calling him a w&%ker and other stuff....
I hate arseholes like that, I just turned around and answered any Leinster based questions they were asking each other...dickheads!
'Oh miss PacMan, i'd sex that bow right off your head!'
'Eat those dots, you naughty, naughty girl!'

I've got to say that the crowd we were with were great! They really knew their stuff, there was none of the abuse I have observed in Musgrave in the past.
Very gracious in defeat, although gutted they got nothing from the game.
I though it was interesting to see BOD getting mobbed by the local crowd looking for autographs on the pitch.
I'll be going back again nest year, that's for sure.
Great craic.
