Irish Examiner
When i stood getting dressed at the pool last Wednesday morning it finally dawned on me what it is about rugby which i abhor a lot. Don™t obtain the wrong idea.
I wasn™t inside a grouchy mood. Following an earlier start, 50 hard laps (all front crawl too " thanks), and 15 leisurely minutes in the sauna,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I was in fine kilter.
I quickly started listening to the conversation between the two men behind me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
˜Are you going to the game in the weekend?™, one asked. The pronunciation of game as ˜gayim™ provided all the information I required. These were middle-class businessmen and also the ˜gayim™ under consideration was the Six Nations clash between Ireland and Italy in Rome.
They could also be described as Protestant and Unionist, but such classifications aren™t really true. I have made it my business to study this section of northern society.
Strictly speaking these men hold no allegiance to crown or creed. Their only loyalty would be to the economy. If they were better off under Enda Kenny, then they™d vote Fine Gael, though they™d probably draw the line at Gerry.
You won't ever find them marching behind bands or joining protest movements. In most cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they display all of the passion of a dead fish, in support of get really looking forward to once or twice a year.
You receive the picture. So the conversation continued. ˜I™m not going,™ answered the man who had been sitting behind me. ˜It™s the first time in six years. We just decided to give it a miss.™
Again, the fact is typical. Admission to this strata from the rugger fraternity mandates that all members are forbidden from ever saying anything which betrays a chink of emotion or the tiniest shard of private information.
Obviously, what the man really designed to say: ˜It™s the worst recession in living memory. I™m less flush as I used to be, so there™s no bloody way I™m likely to Rome on the jolly.™ Emboldened by the news that his acquaintance wasn™t in rude financial health, another man says he'd be making the trip.
I sneaked a peek. Well-tailored, grey woollen coat. Blue pin-stripe suit. Polished black shoes. Magnificent head of immaculately coiffured silver hair. Not content at ticking every box,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he ticked a few more. Topping from the dapper ensemble was a silk cravat. It was a bit ridiculous " however i liked it.
˜The Cravat™ would Rome. He booked his tickets the day the fixtures were announced. "But still, they weren™t that cheap, ‚¬160 for that a couple of us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he explained. His failure to reveal the airline carrier suggests it had been easyjet or, God forbid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ryanair. The old snobbery prevented him from saying.
"Yes. We simply thought we™d give it a miss this season. It™s the first time in six years," chimed ˜Skinto McFlinto™, his response rapidly in danger of being a chant.
But ˜The Cravat™ was on a roll. "Marvellous city, Rome," he explained. "It™s tough to believe it™s so compact, very easy to get around."
Not able to form a joint-conversation about travel plans for that weekend, ˜Six Years™ was instructed to draw on his previous experiences.
"They™re so friendly," he explained of the home fans. "They bring such enthusiasm into it." And on, as well as on, they wittered. When ˜The Cravat™ initiated the conversation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had just starting drying myself. When I had been fully dressed and leaving, it struck me these two so-called rugby fans had never once mentioned the overall game.
They'd discussed the price of flights, the joys of Rome, and the hospitality from the Italians, but the actual game, and Ireland™s injury crisis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], didn™t register on their horizon. And therein lies my greatest trouble with rugby. I like the game. Any sport that carries the risk of severe injuries will always get my vote. It™s the type of people who follow the sport that are the issue. I realise that does not all rugby fans are just like the aforementioned duo, but few other sports have this type of high proportion of people who enjoy the occasion more than the overall game.
Think about the conversation just described towards the a large number of animated discussions that would occured last week about the eve of the National League. When I rang home throughout the week, I was able to get the ˜word on the street™ on the Derry and Tyrone game.
When men gathered in Maghera, they didn™t dwell on peripheral banalities. There were worries concerning the defence. ˜Curly™ wasn™t sure that Derry were built with a defender to mark Sean Cavanagh. Others agreed.
However, the anxiety about the defence was offset through the optimism over the forward line. By all accounts Paddy Bradley was flying and training twice daily. No doubts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the road corners of Tralee and Skibbereen also hosted a large number of similar discussions within the build-up to Sunday™s derby between Kerry and Cork.
No detail could be considered too small or irrelevant. But now think about the media coverage which rugby and Gaelic football fans received over the past weekend.
The irony is laughable. Rugby supporters, many of them more interested in talking about tiramisus than triple crowns, enjoyed an excellent service in print and tv. Meanwhile, the wonderful game between Armagh and Dublin was on a subscription channel while TG4™s couple of cameras did their valiant better to capture the experience from Kerry and Cork while RTE™s highlights package was deplorable.
What it really is always to possess the type of comprehensive, intelligent, and informed television coverage that the rugby set take for granted. Still, the Gaels from Derry and Cork won't complain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a minimum of not now. Sunday™s results will have put a glow in their gut which ˜The Cravat™ and ˜Six Years™ won't ever know.
