The UAFC

I had heard BCC accused Ulster of overselling the East Terrace and Promenade. I've heard of people who buy cheaper tickets for Family or Memorial ends and the use a firend's screen grab to get on the other terraces. I think this has led to the overcrowding issues that started the problem. That being...

Too old to have played rugby on an artificial pitch but I’ve played football on both 3G and 4G. Have to say I much prefer 3G despite the black crumb covering shoes and lower legs. My old knees can’t cope with 4G so had to stop playing on it. I think it’s likely to cause ware and tear problems as wel...

My old head master. Nobody misbehaved when Mr Lamont was around but he was a nice man once you got to know him as an older pupil.

Any chance of a yellow for Darren Cave?

Quite a few names I would be unfamiliar with truth be told, but great result. Is Conor McKee a scrum half or am I confusing him with someone else, would be interested to know how the forwards all got on, and Hump junior hopefully looked better than he did for the Irish U20s.

We ha...

Was Peel at the stadium? He didn't seem to be there during the warm up which I thought was odd.

I imagine more freedom to do your job could be a factor. It would be like moving from public to private sector.

Humphreys confirmed then

Fraid not Russ. Think these Ulster boys are stalking me.

Have you a more logical theory than calling me a liar?

Well the fact is I saw 4 people together at a table at lunchtime today. Three of whom were instantly recognisable to me once I saw their faces. I have no idea whether Hogg will ultimately be signed, but he is a great player. I was actually a little shocked when I saw him as I was expecting to hear a...
