Topic: Should Mark McCall remain as coach of Ulster?

So Gary, are you suggesting that MMc stays on until the end of the season, with UR looking for a new coach in the meantime for next season, or are you suggesting that he stays in place until the end of the season and then a decision is made. If it is the former, then don't you think that this will b...

Gary This is not a bolt out of the blue that UR is having to deal with. The performances have generally been very poor for the past 12 months. There was pressure on Mark McCall towards the end of last season, so I'd like to think that UR would have at least given some thought to other possibilities ...

Thanks Judith. I ws at the game and have to say that I genuinely don't believe the Toulouse mangement/coaching staff nor knew exactly what TB had done (in the same way as I don't think Gareth Thomas knew exactly what TB had done). I'm sure they all knew their had been an "incident" of some...

Rave On - Please read the title of this post! My point is that we shouldn't be discussing this topic in the context of JH at all.

Judith - 1stly let me apologise for the ofence caused. I re-read my post and undertstand why you found it inflammatory. As I say, apologies for that part of it. As regards JH, I have met him once and admire the rapport he has built up with Ulster supporters. He is always the one to lead the team ove...

Where does the WRU Chief get his information about the abuse directed at the Toulouse players? The only one who has claimed anything as far s I'm aware is T Brennan. If "abuse" was directed at Alfie I'm certainly not aware of his claims. I thought he was backing up his mate TB, based on wh...

Mark McCall made his comments AFTER (in his words) watching viedo replays of the incident. Maybe in the next Ulster rugby interview they should ask him how he feels about it now, having seen the Rugby Club pictures. On a separate note, Justin Harrison does not enjoy a glowing repuation in rugby circ...

I have real concerns about Ulster. Stevie Ferris was superb - took a little while to get going but just got stronger as the match went on. Agree that his try was a solo effort and had he not gone on alone, we wouldn't have scored as there was absolutely no support. Got fed up watching the number of ...

I was also a the game in Glasgow and am pretty sure the chant was "You're just a suburb of Edinburgh" and not England. There were also chants of "are you Borders in disguise" and "One more for the bonus point" (to the tune of Stand up for the Ulstermen). Personally, I j...
