@CharlesRTel Charles-did you reveal yourself in the "Alas Leinster held on"? That of course is your perogative but it does add some validity to Leo Cullens(ill judged-but with some merit)rant post game. As a Leinster fan(&Telegraph subscriber)I wish he hadn't. Same for you though

@Caolan_Scully It was a bad call. Definitely. But hes frustrated at the consistent denigration & derision of Leinster in past while (some of which he is responsible for). Look at Zebo, Danny Care, Ashton, Barclay etc. You yourself are very obviously a Munster apologist.

If I was Leo Cullen, I’d do so many victory laps that I’d run out of road Don’t really see the point in this approach tbh

@EwanMacKenna Don't be disingenuous. You know you hate the fan base, the players and your animosity is not consistent with all other sports. You have an agenda which mitigates your journalism.

@ChrisieOC Where was I nasty? I'm a journalist, not a cheerleader. To many soft Irish have gotten confused as our journalism became PR.

I'm not that old to remember when Leinster, Ulster or Munster being in a Heineken Cup semi-final was massive. It was all over media with huge viewership. I didn't know who was in the Champions Cup semi-finals or that they were on until five minutes ago. Going pay per view with your biggest competition (it's even hurt Champions League) is the most stupid short term decision a sport can make. GAA should be so wary. Few quid now. No players later.

@EwanMacKenna But you are nasty with it for no good reason. You are a negative character towards it. So why not just leave it. Fuck it. I have no interest in GAA. No need for me to shit on it. You know you aren't a good actor in this

@ChrisieOC I'm a big fan of rugby actually. When fucked with illness last year a close buddy, Danny Leo, Samoa legend sent me a PNG jersey as he knew I always wanted one to lift spirits. I hate Irish elite rugby.

@EmilyMaher11084 I hear you. Hes going to get slated for it. But none of the ex players are ever standing up for how much they are laughed at. Madigan, O'Driscoll, Horgan et al are happy to let people like Zebo, Ashton,Care &many more sneer at Leinster. Id say he just broke. Its not right.. but

Top quality deflection 👏 He might be better placed getting to the bottom of why Leinster play with such nervous energy at the most critical points of the season.

@rugbyexpansion Think that's a little unfair. Today was a big atmosphere in Aviva. If it was ANY other game you'd be right but it was intense there today. Maybe you didn't get it.

A shambles of a performance by Exeter here but as a semi final the atmosphere of this game has been 10 times that of the Leinster game despite far fewer fans, in a smaller stadium and in a secondary competition.

@EmilyMaher11084 @DonnybrookHum You mean...as Leinster have done for how many years now?. Surprised when Northampton/La Rochelle/Saracens didn't bow down and did what any rugby fan wouldhave expected. The Toulouse final was a genuine ding dong. But the rest. Pathetic lack of preparation and engagement.

@DonnybrookHum Hes extremely consistent and communicates clearly. We are never going to get mistake free refs, so hes exactly what you want. Leinster look loke theyve done zero analysis of how what hes looking for.

A man who should have gone to specsavers:

The greatest 10 minutes of cinema I have ever seen in my entire life.

@petersuntimes @RuaidhriOC @ChampionsCup Peter- any chance you can get on the Ruck this week to mitigate the whining about Leinster playing at the Aviva, despite the plethora of reasons why it happens.- you know the whinging will be mighty. Anticipating Danny Cares traditional "doesn't feel right" comment on BBC also

Surely a full time pro referee has time to learn some basic French, especially one who aspires to referee the world’s top teams? #EPCR @ChampionsCup

@Hathers46allout @neilfissler Are you guys actually journalists? Do you fact check? Or are you wilfully ignoring they get home advantage via results and the absence of the "neutral venue" criteria in the competition rules?

@neilfissler Happens every year with them

Neutral venue isn’t the ground you are using for the quarter-final

@RuaidhriOC If they don't look interested, lose concentration during games and the coach makes baffling calls, then fans start voting with their feet. Tommy O'Brien the only one with a spark

When the dust settles, Leinster are going to have to have a long look at why they are not attracting bigger crowds to knockout games at the Aviva. Based on the last two weeks, the RDS reopening can't come quickly enough

@FergusCraig 2nd bit as good as 1st!!!

This is a great joke because it only works on people a) older than me b) who have any memory of the history of Sooty and who are c) prepared to overlook the fact that even the topical Iran bit is weeks out of date.

Remember when Trump achieved regime change by replacing Harry Corbett with Matthew Corbett on Sooty.

@dannykellywords Thanks man. Was waiting to ask my wife to get involved with twitter and then check which song (seriously!) as she has Spotify and im...well..I like physical manifestations of music like records/tapes/CDs even! I really hope you are well and that Ireland is doing well by you.

For those without Spotify... youtu.be/piHWpH5cyrQ?is… Flying High In The Friendly Sky🤣🤣🤣

@IrishTimesSport Why?! For fucks sakes! Is there any honesty in this group.

@PadraigBelton "New Tiers Eve"!! Bravo!!!

Finished a news shift. Had lemons, no tonic, but Cointreau and a truly inexplicable number of @British_Airways gin bottles for #NewTiersEve.  So quiz: WHAT could I make with these, that is BOTH a tribute to a Great War intelligence network in Belgium, and ALSO a very excellent book by my amazing chum @DrHelenFry?

So heartwarming to see the whole nation uniting tonight and getting behind the first Irishman in a Masterchef the Professionals Final. Go on Mark!!!

@pyjamas_black Why is it such an issue for you?

His mother there presenting the trophy to him as is tradition

@fairycakes Show was brilliant! Well done all of you!

This is properly funny. Im sure some will search for offense but I genuinely disagree.
