How do you get homophobic from that. Lawn fairies refers to their ability to fall over. You are quite the snowflake.

And you are Homophobic.

I actually find your judgement offensive as I am not nor ever have been homophobic.
I feel you are actively seeking to be offended.
But write your report or whatever I just suggest you grow a thicker skin.

FWIW I found the phrase a bit distasteful too, but you do you man

Neck and neck between Lowry and Baloucoune for MOTM.

[riocard911]

Lowry gets it - much deserved. Fantastic performance from him.

Apologies - wrong thread!!!!!

Poor old Karl Martin might've thought his debut at the RDS would've gone differently. Wasn't given much of an opportunity today.

You need to be more "woke". Failure to meet this invisible moving standard (it usually depends on whomever it is that wants to be offended) leaves you open to being branded and you own interpretation of your statement means absolutely nothing. Be careful they don't assemble a mob.

89-7.

That's the sort of thumping that Montpellier deserved, and I was delighted that we handed it out to them. 40-7 in the first half, 49-0 in the second half.

Show up as a coaching staff with that attitude, that selection and that brittleness and you will get a beating that your supporters will hound you with for the rest of the year. Enjoy that sh*t sandwich lads, you made it for yourselves.

Here here fully agree- does anyone really care about Montpellier when they have shown so little respect for the competition

[Blueberry]

Some game of hockey that one.....

Amazing turn around considering we got cricketed by them 28-0 when we played them.......

Some kid is going to be leafing through old Leinster results in 10 years wondering wtf was going on.....

Thought Sexton looked a bit off with his timing when he came on but then allowing for rustiness and have McGrath inside that might be harsh.

That was the rod he delivered a beating with.

Thought he was excellent. Keenan picked a good time to have his bad match

so what are we saying here?
- it's OK to use homophobic slurs? OR
- lawn fairy is not a homophobic slur?

I never understood that to be a homophobic phrase. See above.

It's the fact that it's from the horse's mouth. His squad was full of Covid, he had to change his team multiple times during the week ... but they were allowed to send a team over and play their scheduled match. In which we f*cking annihilated them.

It reminds me of a certain situation last month ... just one small difference!

Here was the team that we would have played against them in December:

Backs [15-9]: Jimmy O’Brien; Adam Byrne, Jamie Osborne, Ciarán Frawley, James Lowe; Ross Byrne, Jamison Gibson-Park; Forwards [1-8]: Cian Healy, Rónan Kelleher, Andrew Porter; Ryan Baird, James Ryan (captain); Max Deegan, Dan Leavy; Jack Conan.
Replacements [16-23]: Dan Sheehan, Ed Byrne, Vakh Abdaladze, Devin Toner, Jack Dunne, Cormac Foley, Tommy O’Brien, Scott Penny.

12 Irish internationals in the starting XV, 15 in the matchday 23, with 373 test caps between them.

Fair enough, I have always only heard the word fairy as a homophobic slur - I have never heard of lawn fairy as a soccer player

slang, offensive : a gay person —used as a term of abuse and disparagement

[nc6000]

It's a really stupid phrase to be using to describe someone, really stupid.
