[QUOTE="shtove, post: 107466"] Irish pubs? I was in one outside Galway city three years ago during the HEC semis - Leinster were playing against ... I forget. Galway is GAA territory, so there's a simmering hatred for rugby outside the city limits. There were about seven of us watching the match with 15 mins to go - getting to the bar by stepping over kids in their crisp-encrusted first holy communion outfits - when ... the fat f***er behind the beer taps clicked over to ... the kick off for Man Utd v Sheffield Wednesday! A shitty fag-end of an English premiership match. Oiiiii! The greasy ******* and his fagball mates were laughing at us, and we had to negotiate the rest of the real match by appealing to the fact this was an Irish team, with some of our greatest sportsmen, in the semis of an international competition. We got the last few minutes, and Leinster lost. We left straight away, and the hype-victim gobshites thought they'd beaten us. Ireland - the sow that eats its own farrow. Is there a smilie for BITTER? I'm in England now, but it's not much better. Bournemouth is a rugby blackhole. Close to the West Country, but lightyears away in attitude. [/QUOTE]
