RTE play a big part in the perceptions of teams. You'd never hear the rugby pundits say such nasty stuff about Irish rugby players. It wouldnt be tolerated by rugby fans.
The likes of Dunphy abuses the players for the cheap lolz. Football fans seem to tolerate and call the it entertainment. The fans are also to blame. The football players get an awful lot of stick on here. You'd never see rugby fans sl*g of their own players like you do see here. The 2 sports have a very different culture, |

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

enjoyed that article hugely. nothing against genuine rugby fans (i personally cant get into it at all) but the petulant responses to the article show up glory hunting 'fans' who have no idea what following sport is all about and have a ridiculously overestimated opinion of the rugger lads and their achievements

Great stuff from Ken Early. West Dublin's resident rugby fanatic trAndy won't like this.
