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.

For your analogy to be comparable, it would have to be in the 9th inning of the final game of the World Series or playoffs. Most regular season baseball games have fcuk all riding on them due to the sheer number that are played. And each last 3-4 hours with not a lot happening. The crowd often has to make their own fun, usually through excessive drinking of $10 beers. This incident looks completely harmless

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.

It’s the (relatively) newer fans that adopted it. Watch old Irish rugby games from the 80s and even later and while there isn’t any booing during kicks nor any cheering there’s no deathly silence either. Started in Munster I believe.

The inverse snobbery or the blatant Crumlin bashing?

Could they not have been moved to another part of the stadium?
Unless the home team is competitive, baseball games are poorly attended so there would probably be whole sections unoccupied.

Seems a bit draconian, but that's Canadians for you.

I’ve been going to games since the mid 80s and can only remember one “instance”, since then, where the crowd “booed” a kick and that was due to a terrible last minute penalty call.

Lynagh was playing from the mid 80s to the mid 90s and he spoke of the “silence” for the kicker in Lansdowne Road.

Maybe in the 70s and early 80s it wasn’t a thing but to call anyone who’s followed since the mid 80s “relatively new” is just plain ridiculous.

Or it's a contrivance whipped-up by belligerent oafs who have gone to tedious lengths to exaggerate the respect that is somehow inherent to behaving like a herd of overfed bullocks. And later, in Seasons, to bore innocent citizens to tears with louder, ever-louder blow-by-blow accounts of the "consecrated", "eerie" silence that "descended upon the stadium" before the conversion.

But That's None Of My Business.

It doesn't matter what it's for. You threaten the fragile ego of an American cop by failing to bow and scrape, and your life is at risk. Especially if you're running around with distribution quantities of melanin.

Ah now, ATNM, if someone is telling you about the “silence” during a kick after the game it must have been a dire game. The only time the quiet was worth talking about was before the English anthem being played in Croke Park in ‘07.

Did you mean “Searson’s” when you said “Seasons”? If so, it would be remiss of me not to advise you to steer clear of the D4 stretch of pubs after a home international or inter provincial European tie.

You’re, mostly, only going to find the “newer” breed of rugby fan, the ones who thought the Ross O’Carroll-Kelly books were “style guides”.

My advise would, always, be to head towards town via the “Ringsend” route.

You pass a number of decent “boozers” that way, such as “The Merry Cobbler”, “The Vintage Inn”, “John Clarke & Sons” and “The Oarsman”. The further on you move the more room you’ll have in any of those places.

I’d recommend avoid “The Irishtown House”, it’s really more of a “soccer” pub and tends to be frequented by more of a “local” crowd. Just saying.

I’m guessing you’re not a follower of the “egg shaped” ball but if you ever take an interest let me know and we’ll see about getting you to a game to see if we can change that.

A few years ago I went to Giants game in SF and got talking to these 2 lads beside me.. they were mad sound and had a few on them already, asked why I wasnt drinking. Said I didnt have any money. They proceeded to buy me round after round after round $10 a pop! They werent having no for an answer.

Anyway, as the game went on it was getting interesting and tight.. crowd were really into it and these 2 lads were giving it socks.

They were shouting as you would at soccer game over here in or the UK, nothing out of the norm.. nothing too vulgar either.

Aul lad sitting near us is fuming at the lads for "cussing", just the uaual "ah for **** sake" whenever there was a poor hit or catch or whatever.

He tells the lads to stop a few times before going off and getting security, they come down and warn the lads to keep it down.. everyone else around us is booing them.

Game is getting really heated and the Giants have fallen behind, the lads are even more animated at this stage ...but again nothing out of order.

Without much of a warning, theres 2 cops asking the guys to leave. Myself included until I explain I'm not with them. They refuse, saying the paid good money etc.. and they werent being out order, myself and the rest of the crowd testify.

...what happens next? They accuse them of resisting arrest ..even though they werent initially under arrest. Guns out, one lad is getting body slammed and dragged out in cuffs.. other lad then goes peacefully with them.

Im sat there in awe of what just happened, a little shook if anything.. meanwhile the little rat behind me is sniggering saying he warned them enough times.

...FOR CURSING!

I'd had been tempted to whisper something positive about 9/11 into his ear just to fcuk with his head

I like rugby. However the silence is a bore. They’ve taken to ssshing people in pubs now.

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'.

Any shower of priviledged scrotes who turn up to a baseball match in MATCHING OUTFITS...deserve to be shown the door.

Ladism at its worst...aping those British twats who go round in matching tee shirts with stuff like "Dublin Tour 2019" emblazoned on them.

Your definitely onto something.

I still can't get to the bottom of the Crumlin United analogy though, no pun intended. Are we talking about inverted snobbery, or just a straight out bash of middle incomed southside Dubs? The Op never really specified in fairness.

It definitely tastes like a bad wine however , very " unmorish" undertones,blended with lazy trite thought provocation, with a nasty aftertaste, acidic,

Long vitrolic notes on the nose, sour and slightly heady. On the palette, bileous and churning, flavours of suffering. Aftertaste with a ring of pity.

A truly out of date vintage, best served with boiled swede and hogget in Dundalk. This is not one for laying down and keeping.

If the video from Toronto is the cream of the crop of Belfield, we needn't worry too much about the hypothetical Sinead and the spoon fabricator from Louth's relationship.
