This season will promise much and deliver feck all, something any self respecting Ulster fan should be used to.

Re: Joe Barakat !
I'm with you on this Neil. I can't put my finger on exactly why; maybe it's because anything must be an improvement on last season. Maybe it's the new coaching combination. Maybe we'll lose fewer front lie guys to the RWC than our nearest rivals. Maybe I'm just naively optimistic.Neil F wrote:This was a bizarre feeling I had after the Munster game - that Ulster could have been so grim and turgid all season and yet still had a mathematical chance of a home semi-final... It was the first time I had properly felt that the Pro12's detractors might have a point. Had Ulster finished the job during Scotstoun II, it would really only have proven the point. Ulster could have won the whole thing on the back of producing only two decent performances against Glasgow throughout the entire season...BaggyTrousers wrote:It got closer than it deserved but really .......... not even close to good enough. Dreadful dreary performances with the odd spark thrown here and there. I say with fear of little or no contradiction, a good 70-80% of the performances were less than acceptable, results notwithstanding, for there are so many "gimmes" in this league.
I hope none are dumb enough to think, we played Weegies off the pitch but fecked it up.
That said, I am reasonably optimistic about next season - in part because of some hope about what the new management structure and a proper pre-season planning without disruption will bring and in part because I just can't see how Ulster can produce worse...
