The UAFC

Ok humour me, the weapons used were Sigs (These are derived from the M4 used for years by most Law enforcement and military in the US) and a slightly newer version than those used by PSNI specialist units. These weapons have a very clever site which even in low light affords the officer a very accur...

Lots of comment about rounds expended, automatic fire etc here which is ill informed. Something to bear in mind The Sig rifles used cannot be fired on automatic. Single shots or bursts of three. The firearms officers follow a standard protocol which is to stop the killing as quickly as possible. Bas...

CTSFO training today hinges on stopping the killing as quickly as possible. That means take action such as last night immediately. These tactics are uniform across the CTSFO network within the UK and Europe. Suicide vest or not they will be engaged. The first police on the scene at the Bataclan thea...

"And I led the cowboy lynch mob for this pish"

Ulster are firmly embedded in the amateur era from a management point of view. Travel to any away game and note the legions of blazered hangers on and wives. Decision makers who have one eye fixed on their little empire and club within a club. They encourage nepotism having benefited from it themsel...

I get the fact that it is not solely an issue for the Irish State in light of Kincora etc but in the context of yesterday's events it appears the victims are going to litigate the AGS. In terms of reality an officer senior enough to be complicit in such a cover up would most likely have been in his ...

I think we can all agree on what went on 40 + years ago was wrong, very wrong. The cover ups that took place were shameful. But like a lot of the problems on this Island the passage of time has ensured that the guilty will never be prosecuted to any meaningful extent. The AGS officers responsible wi...

ok here's one reason, having paid good money to come to weegieland twice in as many weeks and had the same naked sectarian abuse hurled "gee the orangies a trimmin" being the last eloquent guldering makes our fleg wavin xenophobiac City a positive paradise. Sort the scum out weegieland ste...

Good game management and best away option imho!

Spot on BT . Unfortunately our Nigel has lost the reality plot and now believes he's bigger than the game. Watched him on the line recently and even his intonation was that of Instruction as opposed to assistance / opinion. His canonisation on Bakebook is fuelling the beast. I hope those who refer t...

Swallows and summers and all that but maybe just maybe!. Leinster occupied with Europe and perhaps also Glasgow after today, players coming back. Do we dare hope that Payne stays at full back and a strengthened back row with the man child at 6 and our new signing that is described as an old time dis...

Leicester are another very physical team. I would much much rather we sent out our weakest team possible and saved our front line players. I do not like seeing us roll over, not one bit, but necessity dictates that we wrap as many players in bubble wrap as possible and regroup for the Six Nations. ...

Olding and Jackson both in slings when they got on the plane home didn't look good

There's a bit of a plastic Irish pub called Le Shannon. Loads of Leinster and Munster guff on the walls but a decent pint!

I think Doak is getting a hard time for nothing. We must recognise his tactical genius. After all he did try and shake things up bringing on that proven International 13! . But seriously the cheap fix old pals act has yet again been horribly exposed as tactically inept . No leadership on or off the ...
