90 nil Fückin hell that's unreal I'm about to have a gander at Shedweb for a laugh. There are a surprising amount of posters who are fine with it! Skivington, Waldouk et al are stealing a living.

Re: Yeah, don't fly boeing planes at the moment
Never heard of CAT causing planes instruments to "black out" before. Anyone? Depends what he meant by "black out". These reports are often grossly exaggerated/sensationalised. Severe turbulance will cause a temporary loss of control and misreadings on the instruments. Also, even if all the electric...

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Hmmmmm Need to think about the match before giving my verdict on the live (it sounds like it's very different to how it looked on TV) As for the rest of it. Croke Park itself is a great stadium. Unfortunately every single person involved in organising an event there appears to be clueless. They actu...

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Decent few NH supporters about Dublin this morning, good to see. Took a while for us to show up, but it seems that most only flew out this morning - the costs were kust too high to do it any other way. I know of one US based fan who left JFK last night and landed at DUB about an hour ago (via LHR)

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
home advantage at the'hallowed' croke park,3 weeks of rest and preparation,a squad rumoured to be double saints salary cap total- this surely can only be a big win for the giants of leinster. they sent their academy side out to safrica in order to focus 100 per cent on this game.

Re: Heineken cup Semi Final 1- Leinster vs Northampton
Sleighthome injured is a big loss. Oddly, less bothered by Ludlum being injured. Real shame. Was really looking forward to see how he got on against a test side. Ludlum is a massive loss. I disagree. While he gets through a load of work, I felk we're often less "secure" (for want if a better word) ...

So there'll be 13000 more empty seats then. I think the absolute ceiling of home fans is about 50,000, and I don't see that happening to be honest. Not sure how many Saints will bring but I doubt it will be 30000 to 40000. Our ceiling is probably somewhere around 25K (maybe 30K) if tix were suffici...

No chance this will be beaten I think. 2009 was about 50,000 Munster 30,000 Leinster for the most bitter local derby ever.

Re: Northampton v Munster HEC.
Massive win for Saints. Previously this season when we've not been at the races we've folded, and badly at that. This time we stood up and found a way to win, regardless of the quality of the opposition. This was a huge step forwards for a very young squad
