If he wants, Pete has the right to have an issue with the GAA, if indeed he does. SNIPE! :D Please dont go bringing whatever failings the GAA may or may not have into this discussion - actually i know you didnt bring them into the discussion, but you did perpetuate their involvement... :D they have...

Anyone who is so offended by a red and white flag that they would never follow Ulster Rugby is, in my opinion, better off staying away. Yeah but Pete ask yourself, how many of us Ulster fans from the unionist side of the tracks get, even for the briefest of seconds, a little annoyed that the tricol...

It's time UR had some balls, either they are pro inclusion or not. I demand a statement telling fans 9 counties or UR official flags ONLY at all games from now on That my dear boy is flag fascism. Sometimes a bit of dictatorship is a good thing. Singapore isnt quite a dictatorship/fascist state but...

OK so even if we developed Ravers into a 55k arena we'd still have to go to the Aviva/Windsor Park for a semi final? Yes. Interestingly on the 55k Ravenhill. How do you envisage that would go? 5K on current terrace, 2k on both the ends, 49k in 100m high replacement for the old stand? Would be somet...

If you cannot fly the flag of your country at a game which represents your country, plus three other counties, where/when the heck can you fly it??? Sam - the flying of the tricolour at Ireland games seems to annoy you, so can you not see that the NI flag at an Ulster game is similarly going to ann...

I think, quite sincerely, that progress here would be measured by people being able to bring whatever emblem, flag or whatever to a rugby game, so long as it's shown in support of Ulster. The Northern Ireland flag is a logical option to many because the colour scheme fits with the team colours of U...

well of course there will be folk who get precious about Norn Iron flegs & emblems but only in exactly the same sense that some folk say they are put off Ireland rugby games by Tricolours. I'll be polite & not say what i think of those folk but i'd put them in exactly the same category as f...

You honestly doubt my statement? You really dont think that loads of Norn Iron flegs put off some Ulstermen from supporting Ulster rugby?

For the avoidance of any doubt i have no objection to any flag being waved at Ulster games Regardless of whether or not they are being foolish it is undoubtedly true that seeing a lot of NI flags waved at Ulster matches does make a significant number of the Ulster population less likely to feel lik...

big bang theory...?

I think that team looks awful. Jackson at inside centre? Has been playing 12 at Dungannon if I am not mistaken, perhaps he is a Paddy Wallace replacement more than a 10 ? He is really quite a small lad. Even smaller than Paddy Wallace. He may get broader but I doubt he will get much taller, cant se...

I think that team looks awful. Jackson at inside centre? Not one of Tuohy or Muller in the 2nd row? Darcy at wing at not FB? Very weak looking back row. Got to ask about Macklin - what is the point of him being in the squad if with 2 THs unavailable he isnt played even in a game the coach is clearly...

Does anyone out there have any idea if Macklin is any use at all?

Has he played much club rugby? How did he do there?

It's about the crowd size. You won't get 26k at a game in Cork. The Cork crowd won't turn out in massive numbers in Musgrave and lots of Limerick people couldn't afford to be travelling to that many games. Club games in Limerick used to attract upwards of 15k. Club games in Cork only attracted abov...

Interesting that our qualifying group, which some didnt say was that hard, has the 2nd, 4th and 6th ranked teams in Europe according to this table in it.
