Leinster people

dellas1979

Just back from the Heineken cup final. Munster lady myself but applauded and shouted on for Leinster.

I dont know many Leinster people, but the people I did meet over there (and my friends found the same) is that alot of them are obnoxious. They dont know how to throw a party and are super tight (constantly complaining about price of things).

Why are they (I know not all like that) like this? We felt almost sub-serviant to some of these people (they were talking down to us). One kid (a 17 year old) pulled out a credit card and said to my friend "I could buy you". Wtf like???

petes

You happened to come across the people from Leinster that are assholes!

Probably just the type of clientele rugby attracts.

In fairness all rugby supporters are obnoxious.

Awe that's sweet of you to congratulate Leinster on their fine European Cup win.

It just show's you're not a bad loser.

A nice Leinster supporter congratulated Munster on winning the Magners league a while back too.

See everyone can get along.

B0lloxs! The people the OP met were arseholes who just happened to be from here and are in no way representative. Speaking as a dub and a life long rugby fan!

EdgarAllenPoo

I know what the OP is on about but that's not confined to a Leinster thing, there are plenty of snobs and arseholes in the other provinces too(they usually pretend to be D4 which makes it all the more annoying).

Simply smile back at the young lad and say, "Ah but we only take Laser or cash.... sorry bud."


On a side note: They were complaining about the price of stuff in Edinburgh? Drink is cheap over there compared to Dublin.

So you met a few bag eggs, I'm sure you'll find them in every county, in every province, and just to finish my train of thought...........in every country across the world!

Yer man probably thought he was being hilarious! Bless him!

Leinster's a fairly large area, you do realise that right?

:rolleyes: you base your opinion on a handful of people you met while p1ssed watching a rugby match. Over a million people live in Leinster. Do you think perhaps you are exaggerating just a little.

We're sterotyping people by province now, are we?

A vast improvement over doing it by nationality.

Blame Eddie Hobbs (a Munster man).

Well the Rugby fans maybe

dellas1979

I met a cross section of Leinster people. Am only saying what I experienced. Not all, but the majority of these Leinster people were not very nice. Can only go on what I experienced. No sense of humour (the whole "Ive got more money/bigger house/better job than you" attitude). Very fake. Very dull.

Atmosphere was flat after the win. The Leicester Tigers on the other hand were great craic. A real sense of fun-which I did not expect.

Ah don't mind Fintan, he's a total focking ledge.

Sizzler

OP, sounds like you bumped into one of the last of the celtic tiger cubs, what he probably didnt realise is the banks are coming to get his daddy and the credit card he had is his hand is days away from being cancelled

lol true that i couldnt give two ****es about rugby to be honest and im from dublin. too much up its own hole.

even those munster fans with their inverted snobbery are hilarious. "ooooh lets all hate on leinster, every single one of their fans live in castles made of solid gold and they never ever stand watching a game on sunday morning in the pissing,howling rain like us. we're well 'ard"

actually this whole thing is pretty funny.

dellas1979

Yeah, its hilarious.

That is the image/projection ye give to other people. Its all fake of course and, no, rugby balls are not round and yes, "supporters" do go to local games where the likes of BOD started out.

gmitStu

I find Munster people arrogant, up their own holes, and they seem to have inferiority complex, namely those from Cork and Kerry. Regardless of weather they are rugby supporters or not.

I'm from the south east. We are all chilled down there.

dellas1979

Yaw.

At least we know how to throw a party and celebrate a win.

Dumbledore

Yeah well all Munster people are uncivilised farmers and if it wasn't for Leinster people "ye", would all still be running around naked, long haired and toothless; while breathing through your mouths and eating cabbage for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
