UCD Rugby team get kicked out of Canadian Stadium

Yurt2

Apparently, the UCD rugby team managed to get themselves ejected from a Toronto Blue Jays / NY Yankees game in Toronto for going full Ross O'Carroll-Kelly. Even Canadian politeness has its limits...

Sounds like they were just having the “craic”. No one was hurt and even the home fans wanted them to stay.

The stadium security should have seen the funny side of it instead of coming down in that unpopular, and “heavy handed” way.

Hope the lads are alright.

"Legends"....

Canadians are dry shïtes. The lads probably had 4 beers and were singing a few baudy songs.

I have been to a baseball games before , it is worse than cricket. BAF , boring as fúck.

They look like they are on the piss having a laugh. They are legends now in my eyes. Spraying a few cans and singing a few songs is hardly causing any harm. All it takes is an over zealous security official and you are into getting the boot.

I hope they had a laugh, and as I said baseball is crap anyways, they missed nothing.

Yurt2

Perhaps Canadians don't appreciate drainpipe jeans, crap haircuts, insufferable accents and singing their "anthems" pissed while people are trying to watch baseball. Yeah, I'd find a pretext to kick them out too.

I think we'd know the response if this was Crumlin United getting kicked out of the stadium; ye wouldn't be labeling them 'legends'.

Controversial.

Inverse Snobbery is contagious, be careful.

Apparently the security personnel themselves weren't particularly bothered by them. Seems like it may have been a 'word in the ear' scenario.

Indeed. But they were probably being rowdy pains in the hole.

So probably not being pains in the hole.

Sounds like they done nothing wrong and were wrongly put out. Nothing to see here, hope they had a decent night otherwise.

Not really, if Crumlin United got kicked out in similar circumstances I'd be calling them dopes too. Some here would appear to be reluctant to call embarrassing UCD nuisances abroad for what they are though. Throwing beer around and chanting "UCD" when others are trying to enjoy a sporting occasion isn't my idea of "the craic."

I don't think your being very fair to Crumlin United at this point, why are you using them as an example?

No more than usual at least. Was probably the most exciting thing that happened at the game.

Rugby team culture is insufferable and they invariably act like complete dopes when together and out.

IAMAMORON

It is obvious who the real victims are here. The OP should be ashamed with such leading questions.



Crumlin Abu.

They were ejected for spraying beer on each other when they were put on the Jumbotron.

The home crowd chanted for them to stay and cheered them as they left the stadium...

Who are you? The fun police?
Sounds like you’ve an axe to grind/shoulder chip against these “types” more than anything

You had to be there :pac:


But seriously, I watched the couple of Twitter videos in that article and honestly I was expecting something actually bad that deserved being kicked out for. The crowd were even chanting to let them stay so it seems good natured fun was being had by all involved.

I’m really not seeing what the fact they were from UCD has to do with anything tbh, only to get a pop at a stereotype of UCD students? That just reflects badly on the OP, says nothing about the lads who were kicked out of the stadium.

You're right. I actually can't resist having a pop at UCD.

Crumlin United are a fine football club btw and are a credit to their community.

Its' students or the university/institution itself, you are not really being clear here?

Y’know what, fair play! A lot of people when it’s pointed out to them would pretend they didn’t know what a person was talking about.

Straight up, I like that

Nobody was comparing UCD with Crumlin though.

You thanked Steyr's post that has legends in quotes.
Surely legends in quotes is ironic (like saying Ledge in a RO'CK dort accent)

So many people from Dublin really do love making everything into a class issue.

I attended UCD, W. I, also, played rugby there. It’s not all Dublin.

The players were from all over, but mostly Dublin, obviously. We had “lads” from Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Carlow, Belfast, and even one from Monaghan. Had a couple of overseas players at times as well.

It’s a great institution and was quite a “fun” place too. Playing rugby there meant you made great, lifelong, friends.

We went on “tour”, ourselves, like those lads over in Canada and had an absolute blast. Thankfully we didn’t make the news but, like the fellas in that story, we were just having a laugh and enjoying ourselves.

DrumSteve

I've been to a blue jays game and can confirm it is the most boring ****e imaginable.

Fair play to them.

IAMAMORON

Can we not start culchie bashing instead ?

They go to UCD too.... and play for Crumlin United.

Never let the facts get in the way of the mob!

They showed them on the Jumbotron and they started spraying beer all over each other and the cops begrudgingly stepped in to toss em, their whole section was chanting "let them stay"

They should have just downed the beers, seems to be the "thing" on the Jumbotron these days!

It surely must be. It's always either the poor downtrodden denizens of the "inner city" bawling about how they're never represented fairly or the private school poshos bragging about their wealth and status. Yuck.

I dont understand the your link to UCD and south side Dublin "k**bs". I am from Laois and I was in college for 4 years in UCD and played rugby. Half our squad was from various parts of the country. Also that video is extremely harmless to be fair...you just come across as having a massive chip on shoulder against UCD for some reason!

TheValeyard

After having been to a Toronto baseball game before, let me say that the only way to survive the experience is to drink beer.

Op , the Crumlin lads are here now, I would fooking "leg it" if I were you...

Picture the scene, 79minutes gone and 1 point down, Munster have a touchline conversion to win the match. Silence descends on the stadium as Joey Carbery lines up the kick. Then suddenly 40 drunk Canadians dressed in leprechaun outfits start spraying beer and roaring and balling.


There would actually be murders or at the very least G.B.H.

That aptly describes the whole city, there being no middle ground or class.

Anyway I’d throw the book at these lads. Not because they did anything wrong but, like, UCD. Amiright?

There’s no real silence at American or Canadian field sports.

And the silence for kickers in Ireland is just odd.

Are you suggesting that people from Crumlin can’t go to UCD?

The “silence” for the kick works on two levels. One, it is a mark of respect showing our confidence that we will win without any “messing” and two, it, suddenly, reminds the kicker that the whole stadium is watching them.

Aussie out-half, Michael Lynagh, was asked where the “toughest” place to kick is and he said that it was Lansdowne Road. The interviewer suggested the “crosswinds” in the old stadium but Lynagh said it was because of the silence.

The great Charlie Redmond once “commented” to Tony Ward that he could never kick in conditions like that.

It would be a real shame if that “tradition” ever faded away. I know a lot of “newer” fans, the ones who’ve never played the game, tend to whoop and holler during the kicks but they just look like eejits, which they are.

You’re right, definitely no class.

Why throw the book at them? Students rowdy at sports event shocker. It’s hardly hooliganism. :rolleyes:
