Dublin people would be happy to just have the Leinster team to themselves. The problem is, the knuckle dragging souless boggers insist on playing. A Dublin team would be a world beating team. We'd also have less red-heads, cross eyed men, and mullets in our team. Rugby would be sexy again. Like rowing

Believe it or not, I'd say most of Dublin doesn't give a S**T about Rugby...the band-wagon jumpers will be supporting the football (Soccer) team again if/when they improve. This Rugby fad is just filling in the void 'till then. Nobody in Dublin, bar the wealthy suburbs on the Southside and one or two towns on the North, gave a damn about Rugby a few years ago and still don't. Donnybrook is not the world, people!

*figures are just to show a point and are not true

Okay, a proportional percentage based on the population of the county...I've no idea....good question....anyone know?

As Dublin has the highest population of any county in Ireland, it would follow that it would have the highest rate of unemployment...

any chance you could post a picture of yourself. I'd love to put a face to the posts!

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???

How do you know he was 17?

I smell a BS story as per usual, i'm from a leinster rugby stronghold and honestly have never seen the sort of stuff people come out with. Me thinks the OP read Ross O'Carrell Kelly on the way over.

I wonder how this thread would go down if one made sweeping generalisations about Limerick or Cork.

OP, here is some Leicester Tigers fans opinions of 'Leinster people', now remember rugby in Leicester is pretty much universally popular in the city.

"Had a great weekend with the away supporters club. Stayed in Perth which was very nice and enjoyed the day of the game. The irish were all superb, great company and up for the craic!

Shame that the only fans I meet who seemed to be a a mission to be misrable were all Tigers. In one pub they had taken half the room over and stood with their backs to everyone and actively ignored the irish trying to talk to them!!"

"Credit to all the Leinster fans we met this weekend, they were brilliant and a credit to rugby. We stayed at the Jewel and Esk college and met a few pleasent Leinster fans there, followed by the many millions in the city centre. The amount of Tigers fans there was really suprising and i was gutted to be honest, however im not complaining at anyone who didnt turn up, im sure everyone had their reasons. I found it very amusing seeing all the Leinster fans running on the pitch and dodging the stewards too, although some tartan ruggers didnt seem amused."

"Have to say the Leinster fans we met over the weekend were top lads. Great banter and not a single problem. Look forward to meeting up with them again soon."

Obviousely there were probably drunken behaviour similar to a Munster or Irish football supporter at times, but does that mean we need a thinly veiled attack at lets be honest a very easy target(ie people from Dublin who like rugby)?

kraggy

In fairness to the OP, they are all like that.

There's this book you should read about a guy called Ross O'Carroll Kelly. He lives on the southside of Dublin and he's so rude and ignorant. Not sure what he's doing with himself now but it's a fascinating read. You should hear him go on. He talks about his life in school and rugby. His attitude is truly terrifying. Can't believe people like him actually exist.

It's best explained by the Rugby 'subsection' theory...

Speaking as a Dub I agree 100% with ya. Rugby supporters tend to be a bunch of twats at the best of times.

"universally popular in the city" - I laughed a little.

Yeah, I know both sides of this argument, having both played rugby for a few years at local level ofc. Then having quit due to injury I started to notice an aura of snobbery about some of my team mates when we would be out and about. I always wanted to see some other peoples opinions.

But to the OP, I don't think your statement is confined to Leinster.

Why did you laugh? It is popular in the whole of Leicester.

Rugby is a 'middle class' sport in Leinste traditionally, ignorant people continue to believe it is just that and that Leinster matches are full of ''D4s'' counting money in their wallets.

That's the saddest thing I've ever seen. I really hope that pic of poofs isn't serious. Tell the truth, you're really a bitter Munster man trying to make all Leinster people look like tossers?!

Correction Leinster rugby supporters tend to be a bunch of twats. Probably only around 15% of Leinster people actually watched the match on Saturday as rugby is only played by kids in fee-paying schools. There is a big difference between Munster rugby fans and Leinster rugby fans though. Practically all of Munster gets behind the team but I cant really blame you for this attitude since you are in Dublin and the only rugby fans you see are Leinster fans.

You do realise you are just as if not more ignorant and snobby than the supposed stereotype you are peddling.

You just met a bunch of w@nk bags.
I know people from Munster that are as bad as that.
I'm from Leinster, Laois, and I've lived in Munster for 6 years now and I think we're all deadly. Well, except offally. I hate those guys.

dellas1979

I dont know many Leinster people as a whole, but most of the people I did meet at the game and after on Saturday were arrogant people.

The story is not made up. There were plently of other instances where they were acting the idiot. See its not even acting the idiot, its being arrogant.

Have nothing against their rugby. They played a fine game. And no I didnt wear a Munster jersey. The game was between Leicester and Leinster. To be honest I do not condone the way red jerseys were worn. Heineken cup is a competition and I welcome any winners of such a prestigious competition. It is not a given right that Munster will win. I think it is a great thing for Irish rugby that they won. Throws Irish and European rugby right open.

I just couldnt get over how dull, arrogant and whingy the supporters were. We know he was 17 as we asked how old he was as we were shocked by his attitude.

Your OP said they were ''tight'' with money yet you also said you saw a ''17 year'' old with a credit card being a stereotype, bit of a contradiction. I always find it funny when one person finds every person they met from Leinster to be arrogant yet from the quotes from Leicester Tigers fans, that doesn't seem to be the case.

dellas1979

They are tight. Crowd of Leinster fellas near us complained non-stop about price of alcohol, price of taxis, price of tickets, price of hotels.

For jaysus sake they had just won the game and they wouldnt stop whinging.
Like I am only telling ye what I experienced. The young fella was another thing. Then there were other Leinster fellas in a different pub, who, in Scotland, sang the scottish national anthem relacing words of the anthem with their own insulting words towards Leicester and Munster people.

Im sorry, people there threathened to kick their heads in. They wouldnt shut up and just sneered (like the crowd above, like the young fella). They told scottish people to "fock off" and "mind their own business". We couldnt believe it like.

Its like they dont know how to have a laugh. Or how to relax and have fun. Full of their own self-importance I tell you.

I played rugby in school,it wasnt in a fee paying school mind you
The majority of my mates are munster fans even though they are dublin born and bred, and yet had great craic watching the match on saturday. Just happy that an irish team won.

m3llowship

Here's a conundrum. I am a Munster fan through and through, have been all my life. Leinster are always my number two, I shout for them every single game..... that isnt against Munster of course!

One of my good friends who is a die hard Leinster man, made a bet with me. If Leinster won the Heineken Cup this year I had to buy a Jersey and wear it with pride, and of course should the opposite arise he would honour the bet!

Now I may have some reservations with owning a Leinster shirt but being honest I love that team and will wear the blue with pride!

How many Leinster supporters (bar my friend who escaped this year!) would say they would wear a Munster Jersey with pride. And not just for a bet!

Allez le bleu.........for now......

That's because what the OP said didn't really happen, it's just a bad troll

dellas1979

If you dont like what I am posting and think I am a troll, report the thread.

Am only telling ye as someone who was there that from what I saw and experienced some Leinster people are dull and arrogant and dont know how to loosen up.

Was shocked by their behaviour. Thats what I experienced, thats what I know.

BTW from the responses on here, you are only reinforcing this bad opinion of ye. I dont want to have a bad opinion on Leinster folk. Am only saying what I saw. So if any Leinster person reads this who was acting ****ty at the weekend, they know it didnt go unnoticed and they are giving other supporters a bad reputation.

Dudess

They were assholes because they were assholes, not because they were from Leinster. Leinster is comprised of several counties - how can you make such a generalisation? It's simply not logical.

CatFromHue

in fairness she is right though. all leinster people are bad, and all munster people are great.
actually hold on a sec.....
