Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

Don't know an awful lot about him but he certainly has the U2O's playing well although how much of that is down to him I don't know. There is a conveyer belt of ready made pros coming his way especially from the Leinster system. It's ok til the end of the season but longer term I'd be extremely cau...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

I wonder would Aki, JGP, Hansen and Lowe et al have flourished under recent Ulster coaching tickets had they had this misfortune to end up here? They landed on these shores essentially as glorified journeymen and have been improved. Compare and contrast our mob who, at best, get a sympathy cap for ...

Maybe UR could tap Leo for a few million Euros. Supporting a 9 county UIster was his rational behind the A5 cash

Re: What are you watching?

Watched an unusual film called El Conde on Netflix at the weekend. The premise is that Augusto Pinochet was actually a 250 year old vampire, Maggie Thatcher narrates! :lolL

Re: What are you watching?

Neil Delamere was pretty good at the SSE on Friday night. Miles funnier than some of the alleged comedians the BBC wheel out for their panel shows over the water. And yes I mean you Nish Kumar, you arsehole. All panel shows are dung. All scripted within an inch of their lives. Shooting Stars was th...

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

Very sad and shocked by Steve's death - unaturally so. My wife is severely shocked by it. We met him once - at a Radio 1 Road Show at Carrick, probaby about 1978 give or take a year. - He was very personable, and made you feel like a friend. Maybe that's why the missus is so upset - that he did tha...

Might be interesting to put together a 'How on earth did he ever get a cap?' list.

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

Listened to Wrightie on the way home from work. Very entertaining. Highlight of the week was his ask Elvis slot on a Friday afternoon. He was always a good alternative to "he who shall not be named" on Radio Ulster. I started listening to him at Uni c. 1982 on Radio 1 when characters like...

Re: What are you watching?

Tried to watch that fillum "Belfast" last night. Jaysus it was dire. Gave up after 20 min.
The accents were atrocious especially the middle class norn irn actors pretending to be working class Belfast.
