Or "The Good Old Days" as it was known!

Now THAT was a show I always hated . . . . . .but the Grandfather loved.

or Clash and having to listen to that bile!

I'll see your "The Good Old Days" raise you a "Black and White Minstrel Show"

Wonder what support there'd be for trying to bring something like that back nowadays?

Thanks Fleg. Would have been a complete waste to ignore a pearl like that.

Feck lads I remember The Good Old Days. The mother used to watch it. Awful stuff. Thankfully the other one was a little before my time. I've seen it and it was embarassing to say the least.

Now in terms of these new signings something like New Faces would be fairly appropriate.....Press your buttons now.


Anyway I hope Niall O'Connor does well in his return to Ulster duty. I think he has something to offer. He just needs a bit of direction I'd say. The new coach may have what it takes to progress him along...hopefully anyway.

With a name like that you'd expect great things. If he can be half as successful as Niall Noígíallach he'll do alright.

The way to Thomond Park would be good. Maybe someone will take him hostage.

Ulster Rugby today announced the signings of scrumhalf Michael Heaney and back row forward Sean Doyle...
Heaney has rejoined the club from Doncaster Knights on a 4 month short term deal, with the opportunity of a full time contract at the end of that period.
A graduate of the Phoenix Ulster Academy, Heaney has represented Ulster at all levels and made his senior debut for the Province in a pre-season friendly away to Harlequins in August 2010. He was a member of the Ireland U20 squad that won the 2010 Six Nations Championship and also competed in the IRB Junior World Championships later that year.

The 21 year old joined Doncaster midway through the 2011/12 season after playing his club rugby in Ulster with Belfast Harlequins.

Doyle is an Australian born openside flanker who has joined from Sydney club side Southern Districts. The Irish-qualified 22 year old has been one of the leading players in the New South Wales Premier Grade over the past four seasons and has also been a strong performer for the NSW ‘A’ representative side.

Michael Heaney
D.O.B: 05/11/90
Height: 1.76m
Weight: 80kg
Position: Scrumhalf
Honours: Ireland U20, Ulster Rugby, Doncaster Knights

Sean Doyle

Height: 1.84m
Weight: 99kg
Position: Openside flanker

There's a couple the dogs didnt bark about. Anybody know if Heaney got much game time away in Doncaster?

Kind of explains the decisions to let Porter and Faloon go.

More to come...

[dublane]

Thought Porter was better than Heaney, but good to see a flanker being brought in.

[cbusbyni]

Clearly a promo video (so large pitches of salt required) for him but here is a few video clips of Doyle playing in Australia. Looks useful..
