Re: team ? for Benetton

Not impressed with Telfer. Seemed to be badly out of condition. After half time I was going to put my season on 'We buy any season ticket' but they did better in the last quarter so I'll probably just keep it. Interesting as I see he got MOM…you must know something different to those making that ca...

Suppose that’s what we pay the extra for?
no, that's because it's usually from the premier seating that someone has dropped one - onto the terracists. :shock:

Re: Where roughly is the Olympic Torch now mate?

Thought I'd get this trhread going again. I assume it's reached Paris by now and will make it to the big do soon. These opening ceremonies are such a lot of tosh. The Lahndahn one was pretty good but so far this one certainly fits your description Didn't see London. I've tried to watch this one but...

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

No surprise and I'm glad Murphy is cleaning house. Grant never convinced me he was making the best of our talent, nor improving our cubs. A lot of the basics we were poor at, which stinks of lack discipline, professionalism and indeed often repetition on the training pitch. S&C next I hope... H...

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

We're pulling things together over the last few posts. Strength and conditioning really matter. Basic skills such as catching, passing, kicking and tackling really matter. Having the right attitude and appropriate aggression really matter. Playing as a well co-ordinated team really matters. None of...

Re: drop goals

I think Ulster's last drop goal was Paddy Jackson against Exeter in 2016. Happy to be corrected . No it wasn't. Happy now? :D Yer welcome. :duck: In addition to my unanswered query, drop goal as mentioned by austintranslation would be the correct term used for a successful score only. Would you be ...

Re: Petrie departs…..

Interesting take Columbo and I agree but at the time one of the criticisms of Logan was that he was no where to be seen, no interviews, PR etc. Too busy giving talks on his military career…. I still await the book and the film from SAS Trooper on the Falklands to the CiC of the Royal Irish Wonder i...

Re: Ulster v Queensland Reds

It can’t be just a friendly with the usual few kids running about at half time. It’s a centenary celebration. There’s got to be more. I want to see all the legends doing a lap of honour at half time - Willie John, Rory Best, Two Metre Peter etc. I want to see Terri Hooley spinning the tunes in the ...

Re: Ulster v Queensland Reds

So if this is meant to be a money maker, I hope we're not paying them too much to come half-way round the world. Could end up being a money loser if the tickets don't sell. Almost certainly would if they included it in Season Ticket package. Must admit, I'm not a fan of friendlies, and there's litt...
