Keeping the faith! (The 4 "Wise" old men!) Empty Keeping the faith! (The 4 "Wise" old men!)

Post by MrsP Thu 19 Apr 2012, 11:41 am

As we approach the business end of the season I wanted to share a little, but amazing story with you all.

(Before sin e gets all upset, it's not about "that" sort of faith!)

Some of you may know that a lovely tradition has developed amongst some of the posters on here of meeting up for games between their teams and those of fellow posters from which many firm friendships have been cemented in "real" life.

This has been extended to culminate in a sizeable get together for the HEC Final each year. Although I have not yet managed to get to one of those "Meets", I have heard and seen enough about them to recognise what a wonderful occasion they have become. Last year the gathering included supporters of at least 12 different clubs, some of which do not even play in the HEC (yet!) and one of which do not even play in the Northern Hemisphere!

Some fans wear the jersey of their own team while others chose to become temporary/honorary fans of one of the participating teams. These gatherings have witnessed the almost unthinkable sight of Munster fans in Leinster jerseys amongst other amazing shows of support for the "other side".

Mostly they have been about enjoying time and rugby in the company of fellow supporters, catching up with old friends and meeting others who will become friends for life. Just great occasions.

Last year the mob had such a fantastic time that 4 of the attendees could not wait to repeat the process and so decided to acquire tickets for this year's final immediately after the get together. Now bear in mind, this was before the groups had even been drawn, let alone a match played. They just decided that they would travel in hope and, if their team didn't make it, they would have a fantastic time supporting the team of their more fortunate friends.

So, 4 Auld Fellas booked their tickets and looked forward to more "craic" the following year while hoping they would get to wear the jersey of their "own" team this time.

The perperators were Gibson, Mick(TEFC), Rava and Asbo!

For those less familiar this these reprobates they support Leinster, ASM, Ulster and (although primarily Exeter and Glasgow) Edinburgh!


So, three questions for the masses.

(1) Who needed the most faith to book their tickets 11 months ago?

(2) Who will get to wear their own jersey at the game in Twickenham?

(3) Whose supporters should get their booking in for next years final?

For me it has to be the first ever all Irish Final!

SUFTUM!!!

Ha, i knew all of that but it never occured to me that the 4 lads had teams in the Semi final!

To answer your questions though.

1) Surely Edinburgh is the biggest shock, but As lives in London so i'm not sure he had faith, he just wanted a session. With that in mind, Rav had the most faith.

2) Rav and Mick the chef will be wearing their jerseys. Gibbo will be in an Ulster kit too i'd say.

3) Leinster fans will book out Lansdowne next year, we're going to feel like we should have won this one and the final is in our gaff next year.

MrsP -

1- out of the 4 I'd say Rava, but sure they were all booking tickets just for the craic Ale We bought ours last June too. No faith required, it's not as if the O's are going to make it Rolling Eyes
Been to the last 4 finals - Cardiff, Edinburgh, Paris and Cardiff, meeting up with 'Pub goers' at the last 3( I was the host for Cardiff) Cool

2 -Mick and Rava should get to wear their shirts I think (Sorry Gibbo and ASBO)
If ASM make the final I will be wearing my ASM shirt (bought in 2005 when The Count / Wellies was playing for them and I started to suport them). If they don't, it will be a Cardiff Sarries shirt and a Leinster scarf - to support my 'brother from a different mother' (GIBBO - Hug )

3 - ASM thumbsup

1. As and Rava.
2. I will be mostly wearing the same jersey I wear every year now... Tedious I know, but it's Tradition now. It would be great if Ulster could join us. Or Edinburgh. Dont mind. zen
3. Leinster and ASM. Both moving away from a chasing pack. Depends on the draw - as always.

Grand post MrsP. Its weird eh?

Whoever makes it, its going to be another blast of drrink, colour and craic. All roads lead to Asbo's.

Be nice to see a few more club colours represented.

Especially after we do! Don't get the negativity from Leinster fans, Clermont are the toughest team left in the competition bar us, but are far from unbeatable. Believe!

I will be going to Twickers ONLY if we win in Bordeaux. But as I live within walking distance of the stadium for 2013 I will be going no matter who is there. Smile

So true Jen. Cant understand the fear and negativity at all. Its the toughest draw possible - and away at that. They have said they want it bad and are ready and up for it. They are 10 times richer, and have class all over the field. But, we've nowt to fear from them. I reckon we will hand them a lesson. And their French orses. Never mind beat them. A high-tempo game they wont be able to handle - should do the trick. They like to bulldoze teams into submission. They cant do that if we are running them dizzy.

As yer online-attorney, Id advise you to book that Twickers ticket man. guinness

Lads please understand, I cut my sporting teeth as a dubs fan, it has a massive subconscious effect on how I prepare myself mentally for watching my team. Ergo, I'm usually more terrified that we'll lose than I am excited for the game itself. It's a defense mechanism. It's all the sweeter if / when we win.

Only just seeing this now. Not sure I like being referred to as "Auld" but what the heck.

For anyone listening in, last year was one of the highlights of my rugby involvement in many many years. The decision to purchase tickets didn't take much discussion by the way.

Rava - What about next year Chef?

Chef - I'll get the tickets on Monday.


To answer the questions, I'd say

1) Asbo Wink
2) Mick Chef and myself (SUFTU). (Sorry Gibbo - I'll console you though Hug )
3) Leinster and ASM

Rava,

It was a term of endearment, but you knew that!

Unfortunately I might have timed my change to the article title very badly and upset the provider of the box!

Looks like I'm in the rain behind the sticks!

Sad

Well, no-one seems to have called the line-up for the final correctly.

Except me of course!

Hines should have given us a free one!!!!!!! ... Whistle year, that is - not the business down on the quays.................... just shut it, Fly.

But I wish he was still with us...if only for him. He wanted to stay, he needed a better contract and I felt sorry for him in the aftermath of that game. He gave Leinster his all.

2. I will be mostly wearing the same jersey I wear every year now... Tedious I know, but it's Tradition now. It would be great if Ulster could join us. Or Edinburgh. Dont mind. zen
3. Leinster and ASM. Both moving away from a chasing pack. Depends on the draw - as always.

Grand post MrsP. Its weird eh?

Whoever makes it, its going to be another blast of drrink, colour and craic. All roads lead to Asbo's.

Be nice to see a few more club colours represented.

Come on Down to de HC Pub! OK

You got one half right buddy. Not the same half as everyone else mind but you always were a "path less travelled" kind of a guy!

That's just another way of saying you are odd like, but I know you will never be able to read this unless you borrow Mo's specs!
