Why visiting teams lose at Thomond!!!

[4071]

"When they sit in the dressing room the walls shake..."

Dodgy Irish brickies put it up, probably.

Is that why they're doing the place up now?

[outwide]

RESPECT TO YOU FOR THE SILENCE - THE SILENCE AT THE FORTRESS THAT IS WELFORD ROAD IS PIN DROP STUFF ALSO!!

GEORGIE OR CABBAGE WON'T GIVE A JOT WHEN THROWING, THEY'LL BE JUST FINE HEHE THEY HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT AT HOME

OUR BOYS WILL BE JUST FINE, THANX FOR YOUR CONCERN THOUGH HON

Believe me when I tell you this Nik, the silence is not the same anywhere in the world.When you can hear an old lady closing her windows up the road from the pitch it can be a bit scarey even for the fans :shock: :shock:

tell you what outwide, we'll hopefully stagger down to Dolans after the match and compare notes? deal?

Done deal 8) My notes should fit on the back of a matchbox
I will bring some paper for you if you wish

i'm not quite sure what the purpose of this thread actually is. :?

I think there's a 'my dad's bigger than your dad' type scenario going on.

Hairy egg, are you on the boil by any chance? :?: :)

Its just an observation why visiting teams lose their games at Thomond!Is it offending you?

[Caerlyr Osprey]

Munster are simply better than everyone.
Face Facts !

That why Munster are seventh in the Magners League then is it? With such rugby might as the Dragons, Glasgow, Connaught & the Reivers below them.

Not in the slightest, in fact I think it's quite funny - irrelevant but funny all the same.

Didn't I put enough emoticans in for you to measure the level of my apathy :roll:

There you go...

[noakesdoc]

Keep up the banter guys it's fun :twisted:

[Shedman]

im not sure osprey if you know this but Munster dont care about the ML,

How many ML games has Poc, rOG, doc, and all the irish lads played ???? bout 4 max

We are in the HC 1/4 s with 1 game to spare and ye are out with a game to spare

so how do you like those apples ?

im not sure osprey if you know this but Munster dont care about the ML,

So given a choice this season of winning nothing or winning the Magners you'd take the nothing option is it Shedman?

[Shedman]

well clearly the munster selection of players for ml games this season answers that question for you osprey !

Eh most of those selections are directly related to International matches and/or training schedules. it's not that Munster don't care. :x

[Lansdowne RFC]

Number 1 reason Munster never lose in TP is;

1. Joel Jutge (a Munsterman) referees their HEC matches

Number 2 reason Munster never lose in TP is;

2. Alan Lewis (a Munsterman) referees their ML matches


The lack of noise when opposing kickers line up a penalty/conversion is because the glory-hunting Munster fans are searching their "Map of Ireland" to see where exactly where the Fields of Athenry are! Geography is clearly not a requirement in PBC, CBC, Rockwell or Munchins etc.

[Shedman]

Lansdowne, dont make me start an anti leinster rant cause i m in the mood !

Athenry is in connaught : well done

but stand up and fight is our real song !

and Molly malone never existed , just like leinster forwards !!!

1.When their bus arrives at the ground, they go holy <img src='images/smiles/icon_censored.gif'> I thought this ground only holds 13,500.
2.When they sit in the dressing room the walls shake with the singing of 'stand up and fight'
3.Their reception on the field is 'Munster Munster Munster Munster'
4.At line outs calls cannot be heard and the hooker feels the breaths of Munster fans less than 2 feet from him as he throws.
5.The kicker will never have experienced the silence afforded to him when he is kicking.(ask Charlie Hodgson)
6.Singing of the fields of athenry that would put the 60,000 celtic fans in the mute catagory

Hence its like rabbits in headlights

i response to each of your points:

1. it does only seat 13,500 - but we seat over 16,000 - so the size isnt likely to phase them...especialy as we beat you in the millenium stadium.
2.the walls shake here just as much - no matter who you are, or what room your in - the entire crumbie stand shakes.
3.their reception isnt anything that professional sportsmen cant handle, you outnumbered us 2-1 when we beat you in the final - yet we still won, appreicated it isnt quite the same - but they can handle it.
4.the line out gathers in a huddle before the line out - says the call slowly, so the opposition can't hear it to even attempt to decifer it. also - the regulation for pitchs says there must be 4 feet or more inbetween any advertising boards etc and the touchline - for tackle safety.
5. the silence is the same wherever you go, after all, it is still silence
6. you have a theme tune... good for you - tigers supporters who are there will sing their hearts out for the lads, but with home advantage you're likely to drown them out.

its all in who plays better, not who sings loudest.
