The UAFC

Lads, thought this deserved a thread of it's own. I visited Ravenhill tonight (last night), and maybe I was lucky, but honestly I've never been to a ground where the fans were more engaging, friendly, great craic and banter, me and my bro even got nice hugs from Ulster fans (of the female variety :t...

That was a pretty cruel way to end a European campaign with such promise and the prospect of a massive game in Dublin. I genuinely thought it was Ulsters year, as I'm sure many of you did, so that's pretty gutting. Regarding the incident, I'm surprised reading a few forums that some people actually ...

I've trolled enough, this conversation needs to die because nothing good will ever come from it, but "Americanised history" unfortunately cripples your argument. They barely teach their own history, let alone Irish, or world history. (speaking as a Dublin born, educated to masters level ir...

Ah whatever man, don't poke the bear, but I literally have zero problem with unionists, I find their take on reality and history hysterical, but come on man, Nelson Madela, the treatment of the blacks in South Africa, I'm glad it makes you so uncomfortable how everyone in the world considers him a h...

Oh feck off. White South Africans are less likely to be murdered than any other racial group in South Africa. I stopped reading your post after the genocide word (the use of which is crassly offensive in this context, by the way), so maybe you redeem yourself but I doubt it. Haha, I've taken SO muc...

Haha, cheers man, I was worried that my comments wouldn't be taken in good humour!! Best of luck today (not that you'll need it!)

Only on an Ulster forum could you find the complete lack of recognition or respect for NELSON MANDELA - one of the most celebrated and influential men of the 20th century, a man who spent his life fighting against a horrific, brutal regime of foreign oppressors and label him a terrorist for fighting...

People are getting annoyed about me mentioning Ulster players leaving, but that's my whole point. :) Leinster only signed players surplus to requirements (Ed O'Donoghue for example), players needing higher level rugby (Cronin and McCarthy - but look at the Connacht squad over the years, Keatley, Hag...

But the point is you'll have zero say to your masters in dublin 4 who own the bricks, yhe field, the logo the brand and pay the wages. Ulster need a back-row too, Leinster have 7 under 25. So, Rhys Ruddock goes North. Leinster need back three players - Ulster have Payne, Bowe and Trimble starting, s...

Hines was 35. Nacewa retired ffs. Of course it's true to say that Leinster have never signed players from other sides. Guys like Cronin, McCarthy, Boss, o'Donnell, were parachuted in by the tooth fairy. And the guy we got a short term dispensation to recruit in his place, Brad Thorn, was 36. The re...

The poster on LF is a rock solid source. He's in the camp, I have my suspicions who "ror" is, but he leaks signings months before they're announced (Kirchner for example), gives lineups before they announced, told of Conway and Sexton leaving long before they were announced, even speculati...

I don't get it personally. He played just as much rugby as Healy when Van Der Merwe was in the mix also and Healy and Van Der Merwe rotated between first choice quite a bit (Healy losing his spot for a spell in the Heineken Cup). I don't see the value in moving players just because they are in a squ...

Support the cause, BUT no to foreign sports at Ravenhill Only saw your comment through a quote as from the handful of times I visited this site, you managed to make it onto my ignore list! (which must be lonely as I never use those things!) But what an idiotic comment, in a thread about a charity g...

I love your style of sketching Scholar, mixing the cartoonish with the detailed, very funny to boot. Regarding the game, can't see anything but a manshaming for Ireland if I'm honest. MAYBE we'll pull a massive performance out of our Brennan and give them a game, but I don't think even our best woul...

Welcome to Heineken Cup and blow ins. For "real" fans, in any ground, may I suggest the terrace, doe seating seats, you must respect fellow spectators, including a due who may habe jids and sitting behind you and doesn't want you standing up, "technically" in the seating area. Do...
