Re: Contract Situation

In articles I see Cecil Watson's name appearing as far back as 2007. Loads of pictures of Cecil in his blazer as well! In 2003 I saw "The Ulster side, coached by Allen Clarke and managed by Cecil Watson, " - is that the same guy. Who exactly is he and how or why a 20+ year involvement? Wa...

Someone else can supply the punchline.

His problem was it was the same offence repeated once.

He was sent off to prevent any possibilty that he might repeat it twice.

Re: Best rugby player from each of the 32 counties

Tyrone: Tyrone Howe Tee hee. :D Except his middle name was Ards. :duck: Down - T. Ards Howe. The problem with a thread like this is that some poor-ish players from some counties will get in, while some excellent players are omitted due to there being several from the same counties. Wonder if we pic...

Re: Injury Update

Aye, indeed, CI. Bobby was AWOL. He seems to need a couple of new contact lenses every game. I wondered a couple of times if he's been putting the lens for his right eye in the left, and the lens for his left, in the right? Does it make him play like Clarence * the Cross-Eyed Lion and mistake the b...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

I don't know about us having a quality team. My 1st XV: Kitshoff - Top quality international. Herring - very good Euro standard. Always done well in Green as well. Marty - was very good Euro standard but looks done. Hendy - Top Quality International. Treadwell - URC standard Ewers - should be a ver...

Are we playing BB into form, or is there literally no one else? Lyttle gone, Moxham crap and injured, Sexton... Next match is away to O's - it might do him no harm to be rested, or at least benched for that game and brought back foir the following hiome match v Dragons. If there's one team you woul...

Re: Reset button required?

800k? With kits off you couldn’t even afford a front row😀😀😀💰💰 I thought the £800K was So-It-Is 's annual salary to take on the coaching job, not his budget for players. I'd take the job for £500k, and happily fall on my sword when called upon to resign by the good bergers of this forum after one ye...

Re: Reset button required?

All need to go but player power at Ulster needs sorted also. I've heard of plenty of stories about cocky players but one that always annoyed me from years ago is hearing about Robbie Diack challenging Brian McLaughlin in front of the whole group that he didn't rate his coaching. Now, all I remember...
