Re: Reset button required?

Do I want a successful Ulster team, if that requires a minimum of say 10 or more non-Ulster born and bred players? It seems that Newcastle and Man C football supporters are more than happy with the dosh/success (admittedly not just yet for the Geordies but it will come), so maybe i would be, but I ...

Re: Ulster v Munster

McIlroy -- clear penalty -- no attempt at a tackle-- basically a body check -- but not a red because McIlroy was low and had changed direction . Given the distance from the line and Crowley being on the line and McIlroys dip it should have been a penalty try -- personally would have settled for the...

Re: 2023 world cup

Porter is a fine player but his level of stupidity in giving away penalties reached a new high. If indeed he kept making the same mistake, moving out and driving across then yes he's an idiot. However I can't help but think that maybe the ABs were smart enough to con the ref into thinking that's wh...

At least one of those wasn’t his fault but rather moxham biting in and not trusting postle to get his man - left overlap for them

Re: Sharks v Ulster Saturday 25th February Noon Viaplay Sports 1 / URC TV / Super Sport

Despite the comments, to be fair Yoda I would doubt any of us on here want him to fail- much is borne of frustration. That would be plain stupid. But its a ruthless Pro game, not club rugby- UR are failing him with the basics if they see his potential, but fail to act on eg the right hand/ left han...

Re: Sharks v Ulster Saturday 25th February Noon Viaplay Sports 1 / URC TV / Super Sport

Look I don't want to be mean but seriously, how many times did he get clean perfect ball with one defender to beat? I think 3 times. His footwork was poor. For the first squandered chance he was galloping at 90mph with one to beat on the left wing and all he needed to do was veer right and beat his...

Re: Leinster v Ulster Sat 3rd Dec 19:35 Viaplay Sports 1

What a shameful capitulation. Not for the first time. How many times have we seen them build a lead and then switch off? Maybe this is why Ulster players don’t get the same international opportunities. They are mentally weak and can’t finish the job. Doak and Burns made absolutely no attempt to con...

Ref trying to even things up

Lowe should have had a card for elbow to cooney’s head, decided it was nothing cos if foul play it would have been another red while timoney off for a tackle after ball carrier broke away from maul

Will struggle to win from here, hope I’m wrong

Re: Best Ulster-born, Irish/IQ and foreign XVs

Timosi Nagusa a long way ahead Terblanche. No contest, Nagusa was lightning quick with serious power when at ulster. Terblanche was solid, but slow and on the verge of retirement. The only way you retain any credibility with that comment is because Terblance was primarily a full back and not a wing...

KOTH........very very harsh Rumn/Skiboo.......if you are going to fill this forum with common sense, what will become of the other posters?

Re: Heineken Cup 2021/22

Adamson did call on field decision no try, TMO advised try. Having said that, scenario should never havr arisen, forward passes and wrong penalty calls in the run up. The fact that he said it was no try suggests that it probably was one; I thought it looked grounded in real time. I agree he grounde...

Adamson is a disgrace. Shouldn’t be allowed near a whistle. Any lingering doubt over his ability to referee has been well and truly removed - some shocking decisions from Adamson and his team How did linesman in line with the blatantly forward pass not see it? How did adamson see that as anything b...

Having taken, after considerable thought, the decision to renew 2x season tickets in the Grandstand for 21-22 and graciously been able to purchase a smaller product for the former price of 14, I've spent some time this morning trying to move within the same seating block. Is it me, or have others d...
