Re: Trevor Brennan on Sky TV tonight

And exactly why would you want them to float like balsa, Snipe? Not a good thing, medically speaking, suggests you're not absorbing some foods properly. Baggy's deep divers are the ones you want. I beg to differ. Depth charges can indicate too much protein in the diet - not good for a healthy colon...

Re: Trevor Brennan on Sky TV tonight

Lucky to be on the Prom and witness Castrogiovanni gaving a masterclass on how to deal with a bit of banter on Friday night. Tell me more please! Crowd behind the dugout was giving him serious stick throughout the match including when he was subbed. Disarmed them with a wave and a wink as he came o...

Re: Shirts for Saturday in Clermont

Can see why teams where "away shirts" for contractual reasons but for the life of me I can't see why fans do it. Better to wear white regardless imo. You clearly don't enjoy kebabs. :wink: I do as it 'appens. Don't usually get them on me shirt though. My "technique " does play h...

Hope so. The bench certainly looks a lot lighter without him.

Re: Now This Really is a Disgrace

The city of Leicester has a massive ethnic population (close to 50% I believe), mostly from countries with no tradition of rugby so it is hardly surprising that Tigers draw a lot of support from the rural hinterland.

Re: Re: Ulster v Clermont Europa Hotel

One had been told, although I'm not sure of the veracity, that complaints were registered by a 'concerned resident' of the locality after the Saints game was shown there. People drinking (and eating baps) when there was no rugby being played and so forth. Saints game was on a Sunday, that might hav...

Re: Davy Humphreys all time favourite player

Bill McClaren used to cite Mike Gibson as the best player he had ever seen.
