IF THIS AFTERNOON’S game in Rome is to be Brian O’Driscoll’s final one for Ireland, it’s not exactly turning out to be a fitting farewell.
O’Driscoll was sin-binned in the first half after referee Wayne Barnes saw this stamp as worthy of a yellow card.
Why is stamp in inverted commas?
Disgraceful conduct by O’ Driscoll. A fitting end to an underwhelming career.
If your going to troll pls be either:
Funny
Clever
Original
And not just a tool, there’s a good lad.
And there goes someone with a chronic attention seeking disorder, penny for the pity?? Anyone
Not trolling, sweetheart.
For someone who is heralded as one of the best players ever on the international stage, all he has to show for it is one Grand Slam. If he concentrated more on his rugby & less on being the poor mans David Beckham, he might be worthy of the adulation he gets from you sheep.
Still, at least he has the “BOD” brand to concentrate on now. LOL.
Jamie, agreed on BOD being an attention seeker. He was lucky not to get a straight red for that today.
You are actually aware that you need 15 players on a rugby team, it’s not an individual sport.
George Best was crap too I suppose. Never even played in a World Cup !
Exactly, 15 players on a team until one of them gets sin-binned for violent conduct. If BOD kept his head & tried to win the game for his country we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.
Also, you’re surely not saying that it’s been BOD & 14 no-hopers for the past decade? You can extend my earlier comment about an underwhelming career to the rest of the so-called “golden generation”.
BTW, George Best retired at 27 & was seen as a wasted talent. Not the best comparison to make.
Great lad
3 Heineken Cups in 4 years. Hardly underwhelming figures. The man is class and if our country sees another like him in the short years ahead we’ll be extremely lucky.
Underwhelming on the INTERNATIONAL stage Nicky. He left us down today, plain & simple.
We shouldn’t have to rely on a late Scotland try to save us from the wooden spoon.
Don’t where you’re getting ‘Nicky’ from.
Regardless, your comment said ‘underwhelming career’ and I was responding directly to that.
Yes he made a mistake today but that is not the issue I was commenting on.
That should read ‘don’t know where’
I’m genuinely struggling to comprehend how you could possibly call the career one of the greatest players of the professional era as ‘underwhelming’. He’s renowned as being one of the greatest because his career has been the total opposite of that
Jaysus Nikki,
It was obvious I was talking about his international career. It’s not 100% certain he’s going to retire from Leinster yet.
So the issue you were commenting on is the one you’ve decided you want to talk about, not the one I was raising. That’s not the way things work, you should try & stay on topic. :-)
Ciaran,
Whats he got to show for his career in the green shirt? One grand slam.
Underwhelming return for “one of the greatest players of the professional era.”
Give it a rest eh? You said ‘career’. It’s not 100% he’s retired from anywhere!!!
Nikki? If you want personal terms stop hiding behind a pseudo name and be open about who you are. Like I do.
Imagine a footballer did that, absolutely disgraceful, nothing will be said about it though because its a sainted rugby player and we all know they’re paragons of virtue and sportsmanship, not like those horrible football louts
Should have been a straight Red – the intend was there !
10 posts on ODriscolls stamp – wonder how many if it was another player ???
