@mcd_productions any stage times for the sugar show this evening? Thanks!

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@Munsterrugby are you trying to deafen everyone in the east stand? Turn the music down ffs - can’t even have a conversation here

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@JeanetteLindfie @IrishRail @CCampbell162 @IrishRail seriously. How about just give us a shout tomorrow so we can issue an immediate refund and apologise for the inconvenience? That’s the minimum btw.

I have one spare ticket for Big Star Quintet at Kilkenny Roots Friday May 1st. Face value 40 euro.

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@threeredkings That bit I don’t agree with. Included in the facts are the documented history of the complaint; the charges, the withdrawal of the charges etc. People are entitled to form a view based on that and Munster are entitled to decide whether it wants to absorb all that as an org.

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@edmlarkin @threeredkings Perhaps but that happens maybe a year from now at best. In the meantime we have distraction from the main mission; qualify for Europe next year. That’s 1m euro on the line. We are showing some amount of faith in RR’s capabilities to risk what we are risking here imo

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@threeredkings Fair points. Running a sports team and a brand means optics are important. We are laying people off right now, does this appointment make it easier or harder for us to sell tickets and advertising? I note also that the process seems to have been questionable - see resignations.

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@Munsterrugby Pleased? As a long time, but soon to be former supporters club member and season ticket holder (x3) I have a simple request. Can everyone in a decision making capacity re. this appointment please resign immediately. If anyone in the IRFU signed off you can go also.

@meanderingtripe FairPlay Seamus, in fairness you’ve been covering this ****show long before it was cool :)

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@DonaldClarke63 100%. It was probably the last refuge. I get the need but still …

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@PlayerGaelic Sure. Ultimately for something like this to work it needs to be governed. HQ/ County Boards/ Clubs / Referees etc

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@dohville Bone spurs ….

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@Leftofthedialr @KilkennyRoots @BigStarBand I’d take that Ray if it’s still going

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@rugby_ap Candid and honourable, he should remember that his own head coach showed no such loyalty to Munster…All is fair when it comes to your dream job ….

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@Shaneytweet Doubt there will be a better finish to a game this year Shane. Some composure …

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@CastresRugby After so many battles down through the years you deserved that win last night. Your supporters made a lot of noise too, they certainly enjoyed it. Chapeau!

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@tomhappens All the high harmonies too Tom…

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@meanderingtripe Sorry to hear you are in hospital Seamus. If you need anything dropped out to you at any stage just pm me

[Mark Connolly @markdconnolly]

@JJOBrien7 @DamienYoung01 @CoratellaPh Interesting work, well done. Imagine how much better a starter in a given position has to be compared to an alternative on the bench to justify staying on past the nth minute. We see in rugby South Africa emptying their bench at 45/50 mins.
