The UAFC

Afoa is staying but will have extended periods of leave to visit the family I hope it is not just preceding HEC matches and difficult away games as well. It would certainly be irritating if he kept fecking off a week before massive games - the silver lining, though, is that when you have a NIQ thor...

Don't know who sorted it BR but whoever it was there have been huge changes to the original plans, they now bear practically no resemblance to the originals we have seen on the Planning Office website. Agreed - there's an awful lot of improvements on that original design (or so it would seem). The ...

Sorry sir - I'll go and beat myself shall I?

Joe was on the late late show. I didnt see it but supposedly he more or less said he is the next Ireland coach. Also was speaking about his son who is very ill which I didnt know. Hopefully I will see it on rte player. If Joe is indeed our next coach I for one will be very excited about what he can...

Anything on your end about him joining us?

I saw a tweet not long ago from him talking about his 'last performance' for titans..

An excellent point..

Baggy: One thing that I would point to for which Shame is receiving credit and for which I doubt Humph had much involvement is the redevelopment. There were obviously a number of flaws with the original project, which we were under the impression we'd just have to live with, but SL seems to have th...

I pished myself near the end, a load of Connacht guys tackled an Ulster player, and he goes: "...and they descend upon him like... [long pause]... [more long pause]... a pile of bees..." :lol: :lol: I think he was a bit conscious of overusing the bee-swarm analogies recently, so he tried t...

Russ - Seems a few have forgotten about him - he did look the nearest thing to an openside apart from Chad that we have. Honestly, I think he is our most exciting prospect for next year. I envision Chad being off with Ireland a lot, and Doyle having to cover a lot of the work. Reminded me a little ...

My guess is that Schmidt would be far more likely to stand up to the IRFU than EOS and DK were (which probably means he won't get the job) EOS and DK were both brought up within Irish rugby system, so there was probably an element of "don't cr@p in your own bed" with their dealings with t...

I saw a rumour on leinsterfans yesterday that Deccie Fitz might be on his way to Irish - sounds a bit odd to me tbh.. Anyone heard anything of that ilk??

This is a good news story, right? The only possible NIQ activity would have been due to Afoa leaving. I'm assuming that if we're announcing that he's staying next season, we (i.e. Ulster) are happy that he will be present and correct for the whole season, or as much of the season as we want him to b...

Well Deckard - your Chill-Out Express certainly got derailed at the weekend as sadly it was too soon for our boys. Let's hope it can get back on track this week and that it's final destination is the winners podium at the Rabo final.. Well the Sarries game certainly didn't go as planned, but even i...

So what we're saying here is that it's not just Ulster that he f***'s over. I can accept that, no problem. Interesting, mind you, that he didn't give a single decision in our favour for 14 minutes until the ball was held up and unplayable after six minutes of overtime, when he had no choice but to ...
