Re: Teflon Man

D4 do care now, and rightly so, when we're running at a loss, we're a parasite draining the coffers. This feeling sorry for ourselves that we don't get the rub from D4 needs to stop, the wow me feeling sorry for ones self, the chip on the shoulder, its pathetic...... the IRFU is a business, if one ...

Re: Contract Situation

Ulster should target Jack Boyle from Leinster (a very promising youngster behind Porter, Healy and Milne) and sign an NIQ 9 or 10. They’d still have money to spare. In reality, Kitshoff was slightly better than Kitshoff around the park, but probably on a par in terms of scrummaging. Can't see Boyle...

34, starting for Bristol and seems he has another on his contract.

34 year old MacGinty?

He suggested building a team around a 34 year old.

Absolute spoofer at times
We would also have to buy McGinty out of his contract. Pure nonsense.

Re: Ulster's finances

GAA has always been a bit of a free for all. I played it for many years. Lots of local rivalries. In fairness there was little or no sectarianism even though I was kicking the ball with the wrong foot.

Re: A little bit of politics folks`

I'm having trouble keeping up with the latest news from the NI Executive and Ulster Rugby. Do you think it would be a good idea to merge these two organizations into one? This could create some valuable synergies, especially if we involve people like Gerry Kelly and Sammy Wilson at Ravenhill. I beli...
