Only about 10 minutes ago I googled to see if there was a 'Double' DVD available that I had missed. It would be perfect for a couple of hours viewing over Christmas. I wonder why they don't make them anymore? Maybe they were not profitable? Surely a loss leader though. Am I imagining things or did Leinster give out a DVD containing footage of the previous season in the season ticket pack back in the Donnybrook days?wixfjord wrote:Does anyone else miss the DVDs that Leinster used to bring out at the end of the year.

I'm also surprised none of the sponsors did anything this year.OTT wrote:Only about 10 minutes ago I googled to see if there was a 'Double' DVD available that I had missed.

BOI did a fantastic series with players talking about games a few years back too.

I do too. One on last year would have been a great stocking filler. I also miss the commemorative T-shirts. We definitely had 1 after the 2nd Star. Never saw after that; and made my own last year!!wixfjord wrote:Does anyone else miss the DVDs that Leinster used to bring out at the end of the year. The one after 2013 was particularly good iirc.

"Blood, Sweat & Beers " was excellent (but never released?). I'd love to re-watch it at some point.

Pft, who's got a DVD player these days.
No but seriously, I'd happily buy a download of any Leinster content.

Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?

I think you must have accidentally posted a pre-pubescent teens love diary to Munster rugby, no way this is a published article in a national newspaper.D4surfer wrote:Tremenjus stuff from Billy Keane.

Ah Keane is harmless. He's the Munster version of Ross O'Carroll Kelly.

4 minutes spent on Leinster on off the ball this evening. 5 minutes spent on leinster on off the ball this morning.

In fairness, I think there’s a lot more to say about Munster right now.mildlyinterested wrote:21 minutes spent on Munster on off the ball this evening. 18 minutes spent on munster on off the ball this morning.

They had a pretty controversial game with Castres, both from the point of view of calls that might have gone their way and changed the game, but also from the perspective of the poor decision making and lack of accuracy within Munster itself that more realistically cost them the game.
Meanwhile, Leinster are back to doing what they’ve been doing for most of the last 18 months.

Just for the record 15 minutes were spent discussing rugby on Game On on RTE Radio 2 this evening. 9 minutes on Munster, 3 minutes on Leinster, 2 minutes on Ulster and 1 minute on Connacht. No surprise that Donal Lenihan was the guest.

Re: A whiff of Cordite
In fairness there seemed to be a lot going on in the Munster game, shame they were on at the same time. At least it was a Munster loss they were talking about .... makes it easier to listen tomildlyinterested wrote:21 minutes spent on Munster on off the ball this evening. 18 minutes spent on munster on off the ball this morning.

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Agreed. Our match was over after 25 minutes. The Munster match was a fascinating arm wrestle- even when watched in reply. Next time it could be us who are involved in a match that piques the interest of the unaligned.Serb wrote:In fairness, I think there’s a lot more to say about Munster right now.mildlyinterested wrote:21 minutes spent on Munster on off the ball this evening. 18 minutes spent on munster on off the ball this morning.

Timing journalists on contributions in a short period if time is really not a sensible way to judge bias.

Re: A whiff of Cordite
Following the tradition of some of the 20th century Irish writers (McGahern, McCabe, Keane etc.) our Nation's fascination has often been with the "failure" rather than any celebration of an element of success. The media have followed the behaviour and hence the "picking over the entrails" that follows. Witness the furore about the Roscommon eviction coverage!
