Heaslip in decline since '09?

[simonokeeffe]

I know we are in full silly season mode but how does a topic like this get 7 pages of posts. It shows a lack of understanding of the game of rugby, how a team is constructed and the value of different types of players in the same position. I go on holidays for two weeks and come back to this. Depressing.

This post shows a lack of understanding of how silly season & trolls work. It's all well and good being off on holidays but some of us are supposed to be working and would rather not work to hard.

some of us only work part time hours and have little better to be doing

I can relate with that. One thing however that has me baffled still.
Heaslip has been in decline (Allegedly) for five years now.
I'm wondering have we badly underestimated just how good a player (while in decline) he has been considering he's still rated the best no 8 in Ireland and is still rated as one of the best on the world stage also.

Getting your haircut does not count as work SOK!

The gifs OS, have you not seen the gifs?
The best in the world would not have gifs!

as someone who is technically a model getting my haircut does count as work, and how did you know I got my hair cut???

to borrow a phrase from Hugonaut Heaslip is a good idiot test

There are no gifs of me or I dare say you.
Speaking for myself I'm certainly not the best so I think your logic is flawed.
I might also add I've been in decline for a lot longer than five years

Same here. Two weeks away from the TV, Internet and the Mobile in OFF mode. Come on here for a browse to see this sort of shite. School's must be on their summer break's.

It's the thread of the summer. Think of all the other things you could learn here(we now know Oldschool is in decline)..

And yet people continue to post on it, oops.

Mocking is catching.

His whinge after the Munster match was pretty pathetic. Up there with MOC's diatribe about the ref. At this rate with a captain and coach who flatter to deceive, Leinster look likely to be battling for European qualification come May.

What whinge exactly? That he was gutted to lose. What exactly is wrong with that? If Paul O'Connell said the exact same thing, the same idiots who are hammering Heaslip would be using it as a shining example of Paulie's "passion".

Now that's pathetic.

[fourthirtythree]

I do enjoy how everyone seems to have forgotten the reaction of the entire Munster camp to last years loss in Lansdowne Rd: it was the ref's fault.

Zombie thread....cool!

I found this quite whingey to be honest:

“Munster didn’t do anything extravagant whatsoever. Their first two tries were pick and gos, you see that in the AIL. I’m not taking away from them, but that’s all they did. It wasn’t an extravagant move, it wasn’t something really clever."

He sounds like a child, not like a captain.

Your numerous posts illustrating your obvious and unrequited man love for Heaslip are far better example of whinges.

Is he lying? Munster didn't do anything extravagant, it's was as simple as gameplan as you'd see in the modern game. In the last few years Leinster have stopped this thing at the source and Munster had nowhere else to go. This time Leinster were so passive in the breakdown and so weak in their fringe defence, that it worked for Munster but you're dreaming if you think this type of Kidney-ball will win you any silverware.

Again though you'll look for any stick to beat him with such is your obsession with him.

Yes and they were correct, he was quite simply ridicilous on the day, his best ever game for Leinster by some distance
