That was a piss poor fight

Richmond Ultra

Imagine that was LOI soccer, the tabloids would be bursting with articles in the morning, this might make page 10.

That was probably the gayest kick in history from the lad in the pink shirt.

I really struggle to understand why anyone who isn't still in school gives a sh*te about schools rugby. You don't see grown men discussing how their old school's soccer or Gaelic football team is doing, and yet they care about the rugby team. It's a bit bloody weird tbh.

Apparently Fionn brushed off Saoirse’s leg in the pub and Ronan wasn’t very happy. It all kicked off from there.

It's a protestant thing.

Cricket gets a similar following I imagine.

No. That’s not what happened. Faolain overheard Harry alleging that Tara slept with Cristoir behind the Marquee at Oisins parents silver wedding party.
Faolains sick of them trashing his sister.
It’s just not on.

It's not just a protestant thing, both schools in the video were founded by Catholic religious congregations.

You'd see more violence in the offie in Tesco Cabra of a Mickey Money Day.

Not at all. All the best rugby playing schools in the Republic are Catholic schools.

Outside Kielys and all, it's like something from a Ross O' Caroll Kelly book.

Was Tarquin involved in this, he hasn't been the same since the increase in price of caviar

Love the woman shouting 'cut it out!'

You really need the 'leave ir bleedin ou' woman for times like that.

....in fairness it wasn’t the caviar it was the failure of his stepfathers European PA to get good Brie for the picnic he organized for the Swedish au pair’s Birthday.
He’d told all the guys that the Brie and the Bollinger would guarantee he’d be balls deep before bedtime.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Bookmarked for the next time someone says soccer fans are thugs and rugby is the real gentlemens' game.

Cantona's Collars

Apparently "Sweeney is a bitch,a bitch and a half" and some woman screams "pull him off".

What kind of fights are these rugby chaps having?

Somebody didn't make the Senior Schools Squad. Once you're a Goy, you're a Goy 4 Loyfe.

That's a direct southside Vs Northside difference there.....

League of Ireland violence isn't a weekly occurrence by any stretch of the imagination! It's just not!

Even Bohs vs Rovers isn't half as bad as it's made out to be. Yes the atmosphere is fierce but when it does "kick off" it's mostly just a few idiots pavement dancing and bouncing on the spot terrified to get in close quarters with each other.

Totes gas loike. Donnybrook looked like focking Beirut that night. Good thing those gonzaga arsewoipes didn't show up.

Generation A sends Generation B to same school, ad infinitum. Social snobbery, elitism, ensue.

Because soccer is club based in this country as is Gaelic. Rugby in Ireland is schools based and lots of clubs are follow on from the schools, Rock, Marys, Nure etc

fair point, well made.

Roger Hassenforder

Not even a bit of a "Donnybrook"

A "fight" shouldnt involve balloons and a chap in a pink shirt swinging of a sign.

Very poor fare.

Ah they do. Anyone who played GAA or soccer in their teens are still often interested in how their former team are doing.

As mentioned above, the primary feeder into the adult and professional teams are the school rugby teams. So in the same way that a GAA enthusiast will watch Ballymun Kickhams for the next Dean Rock, a rugby enthusiast will keep an eye on the Blackrock Senior team for the kids who will be the next Brian whatshisface.

A bit of violence never hurt anybody.
Toughens them up and teaches them a thing or two about the world.

The past pupils of Terenure College seem to be well used to a bit of violence and toughening up. Not sure it did them any good though.

100% correct and it'd be "pride and passion" if it was the GAA. Joe would be all over it for a week if it was Rovers v Bohs related.

We'll it's not a 'Protestant thing' with those two schools. Also, never seen or heard agro at a cricket game. People are too concerned with drinking tea and eating cake or some nice sandwiches. Played hockey for years and it was always good-natured.

If only i had of known about some of this when i went to school there 15 or so years ago!. Would of had plenty to say when they where giving me ****e!

Id never send me kids to any private school full of ****e the lot of them.

At the time me ma and da where just trying to give us best they could barely afford but god i wish i could turn back time and refuse to let them pay it now!

The current principal and he was there when i was there whos mentioned in the article was an absolute **** of the highest order wouldn't be surprised what half of them in there ''dresses'' do be getting up to.

As for the students :pac: Those fights around rugby season always went on i was involved in one or two meself and i couldn't give a ****e about rugby.

Funny thing was at the time i was there you got a mixture of fellas from all around the place even Tallaght etc so it wasnt always the stereotype posh lads. Doubt theres many now.

And these guys go on to run companies.

Bunch of lads working near me on the floor. Probably the same crowd who would be fighting at schools rugby matches. They start slapping the tables when it's someone's birthday, like 10 year olds. Twats.

That has the whiff of rugger buggery to it.

Only a bit of high jinks chaps, no harm done.

No need to inform the local Constabulary either, they've enough on their hands dealing with crime in the tenements.
