Clongowes Mafia - Manly posturing - Free socks - Is Ruck Gay

[Donny B.]

Ah you must mean Mike Keating. Keatley played for 'tarf last season so that's why I thought you meant him.

Don't know too much about Keating, although as you say he's been scoring a few tries for Clontarf alright.

[Bosco]

Ruck isn't gay cos he like the stade jersey.

He is gay cos he has sex with men.

[Bosco]

Once i saw McFadden was in contention to play this weekend, i rushed on to see this thread.

sufice it to say I am extremely disappointed , can the mods unban the guy for the day?

The mods can't do anything I'm afraid as they're being held hostage by the Steamtrain since lunchtime.

Let's just say that if Drico fails that fitness test, things could get a little bit nasty!!!!!

[gleesonisgod]

McFadden to start at outhalf!!!!!!!!!!

[The Bodfather]

Does anyone remember when Clongowes had that scandal in the paper about paying off leinster selection committees to play their players?

apparently when Leinster refused a severed lions head was placed in Cheikas bed

Felipe and Manuel Contepomi
Jonny and Mark Wilkinson
Isitolo and Finau Maka
Rico and Hosea Gear
Henry and Robbie Paul (Henry got caps for England in RU while both are RL internationals for NZ)
Delon and Steffon Armitage (who I think may have an older brother who's also a pro)
Trevor and Ray Hogan
Denis and John Fogarty
James, David and Brian Blaney
Sean and Rory Lamont
John and Conor Muldoon
Damien and Daniel Browne
Matt and Brent Cockbain (Australian and Welsh internationals respectively)
Tyrone and George Smith (Tongan and Australian internationals respectively)
Mike and Tana Umaga (Samoan and NZ internationals respectively)
All the various Tuilagis (there are at least 4 of them who are pros if I'm not mistaken)
Rob and David Kearney (pushing it a little I know, but I suspect David will become a regular for Leinster in the future)

Would it be too harsh to say Anthony and Rosie Foley?

Comedy and it will never happen not so long as I'm living.

Sorry to hear you're ill.

Great to see Flash Gordon and Rob Carnage setting the pitch alight. If McFadden was playing we would've got the b.p., but such things will happen if we continue to field oiks in place of deserving Old Clongowlians.

Let me get this straight, quesitons about ruck being gay are ok but comments about Peter Fitzgibbon aren't??

If Peter Fitzgibbon makes the comment about himself, as Ruck did, then fire away. However a referee hasn't appeared in person on a messageboard since Malcolm Changleng went onto the old Ulsterrugby official forum to explain some controversial decisions he made a few years ago.

Dave, to be fair, you've been known to say less than nice things about Francis. Does he post such things about himself here?

I wasn't aware that the cowardly or ignorant were minority groups whose characteristics were being used as a perjorative term.

[Danthefan]

You could equally apply that argument to gay people.

[Dave Cahill]

i agree

[Danthefan]

I don't particularly make a habit of using Downs as an insult myself but if you think it's alright for Ruck to be called gay I can't really see how you can be complaining for someone using Downs, based on those arguments.

yes, but I didn't call ruck gay, he asked 'was he gay'. Example, I don't mind being called gay, because there is nothing wrong with being gay, I don't mind being called DS, because there is nothing wrong with that either. But I would mind someone calling me gay, from the POV of them using it as a perjorative term, when it isn't. Same with the latter. The OP used DS as an insult because on some level he thinks that there is something inherently wrong with people who are Down Syndrome. There isn't.

[Danthefan]

Ok, fair enough.

Just thought I'd bring this back up front. When are the 20's playing this season - wouldn't mind seeing a few of the backs in action. Potentially a few prospects for the Leinster next season on show?

Steamsalad what is your problem with CWC? Did one of them score your bird in Wesley while on weekend release? You clearly just out of school because no mature adult would be as petty as you.

Have a look at this vid, in particular "Dave"'s second try. You'll notice, just like Robert, Gordon and Fergus, I refer to him by his first name because that's a rule for our little organization.

http://www.irb.com/mm/Video/Tournament/ ... d_5799.wmv

David Moore, who made the break for that third try, left CWC after first year. Hope that doesn't taint your opinion of him.

Basically I'd be fairly confident "David" will go pro but I don't think he will enjoy the same success as "Robert". Personally I think Dave was better at schools level than Rob. Much calmer and much more solid in defence.
