Conceding a TBP against the worst team to visit Ravenhill in a good while wasn't great

Re: Dragons Pre Match Q&A with Jonny Petrie

On VAT I would very much like to know what he’s talking about - apart from anything VAT is levied in Ireland as well. I’m not an expert on VAT in the south but struggle to see why Ulster should be at any meaningful disadvantage. In the UK VAT will be due on the full selling price of tickets sold at...

Four of those seven conversions were from the touchline.
The Dragons lad missed a shocker.

I thought Addison might have been in touch for that first score. Surprised it wasn't TMO'd.

He will start more games now McFarseland has gone.

Re: Team for Dragoons

Just flicking through the programme. Dragons have ten players born in December. That’s too many. No wonder they’re rubbish. Ulster, across both the senior and academy squads, have just two. BOTH called Doak and BOTH born on Dec 17 (two years apart). Weird huh? NB Apologies to Josh Stevens who was a...

Re: Rate your top 5 foreign signings

Piatau was frustrating to watch and ultimately a waste of an expensive contract.

Pedrie deserves a mention

:lol: forgot about him!
Yes, Cooney #1. Timoney #2 so far. Then a load of bang average imports.
Sure Cooney is half Scottish.An equal amount of Scots and Irish equals an Ulsterman .... sort of.

Re: Team for Dragoons

Izzy and Sheridan starting. Marcus Rea back in. That'll do. Marcus Rea started at Ospreys. Alright Dan, I stand corrected. Did I really want to select him? No, but at least I don’t have to listen to the experts on here any longer. If you'd spent more time at your job and less at the theatre and con...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Should Italy have been allowed to retake that last penalty :scratch: and the French marched 10 metres? French twice encroached on the 10 metres before Garbisi took the penalty. The opposing team may not do anything to delay the kick or obstruct the kicker, including intentionally taking, throwing o...

Re: And today, joining the underground .....

Sad news. Old school defender and not the worst manager in the world. Spent a hell of a lot on minutes on the football field which seemingly didn't do him any good in the end. Yep. Ex professiobal footballers do not seem to have a particularly long lifespan. Even worse I fear for the current profes...
