Re: We need a ten, but we don't seem to know it.

We got one, hopefully and eventually….

Re: Richie Murphy - right man for the job?

Good old hairy arsed north of England man badly needed, someone who’ll pull away the sense of entitlement that the old master race pupils have, who’ll make them know and understand that an ability to twirl a ball on their fingers for minutes doesn’t actually count for a fiddlers f**K if they don't p...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

Dan’s time was up, no shame in that, my only criticism is that he let it drag on, for me the 6 game losing streak in Dec ‘22/Jan ‘23 was the time to walk. I had the same myself in the business world, when people stop making eye contact with you is a sure sign, you’ve lost them and move on, for your ...

Re: Ospreys away Sunday 18th Feb 3pm

Was on a plane so missed it. 5 minutes of the 'highlights' was more than enough. This season is effectively over: we're rudderless and spineless and if one of the happy clappy brigade dare to criticise me, hold me back. A disgrace (coaches, management and players alike) to the shirt. Well done Ospre...

Re: Reset button required?

I worked for two years in Dublin, made a lot of good friends. Big difference in Leinster and Munster. There is an arrogance from Leinster fans, not in an open offensive way, but, worse, in a patronising way. I would also add that the worst are the fans who hitched the ride to rugby as part of their ...

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...

Re: Reset button required?

Do I want a successful Ulster team, if that requires a minimum of say 10 or more non-Ulster born and bred players? It seems that Newcastle and Man C football supporters are more than happy with the dosh/success (admittedly not just yet for the Geordies but it will come), so maybe i would be, but I ...

Re: Reset button required?

Questions, as much to myself as anyone else! Leaving the question of whether we can get access to money to one side for a minute.

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

Not for one second suggesting that it would have changed the winner but I watched Ugo Mola last week and OGara this week, standing on the touchline, communicating directly with the players. Our guys stand staring at a laptop, in the heat, walking around. Even just for the optics, you'd think you'd w...

Re: Dan’s Not the Man.

Thank God I was watching Cavan playing BHSFP at the time so only got glimpses, but the two sets of lads playing (13-9 to Cavan btw) would have been ashamed of some of that stuff. Going asleep at a line-out FFS? I noted Gary Longwell didn't watch any of it, just some of the Munster game later, which ...

Re: Petries Answering Questions

I know for a fact that they’re looking at filling in the corners , but there’s no money lads, nada, albeit that pitchgate, £500k drunk down the drain, just should not have happened, and does annoy. Unless and until Ulster are regularly selling out Ravenspan, it doesn't make economic sense to fill i...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports

It’s possibly worth pointing out that I’ve seen the likes of Tendulkar, Warne, Bolt, Zidane, McEnroe and er Phil Taylor but your man Dupont is well worthy of a mention in such exalted company. Dupont: Anyone that gets away with appearing in a photo (front page of magazine in France) stark naked in ...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports

We're all die hard supporters on here TBF Solids. Even when I'm bitchin I want Ulster to do well. None of us want anything other than ( reasonable) success for the team and players as people, representing our Province, but apart from some hopefully decent back row talent and a couple of front 5, by...

Re: Ulster vs Stade Toulousain 13/01/24 TNT Sports

“It’s the hope that kills you” Not much to say, tee’d up, only one player injured (Herring), full house, momentum, perfect weather, 8pm kick off, 100 years at Ravenhill, 25 years since the Cup win, opportunity for several to get onto the six nations squad……. but after 15 minutes there was only one w...
