Re: Ladyboys V Ulster

Very, very disappointed. I cannot fathom the selection of the backline. WTF? Our scrummaging was it's worst all season - not just the props fault though. I think we have to look at Hendo at 5 as well. Great 2nd row impact & backrow but not a 2nd row for the full 80 IMHO. Our attacking play was i...

Re: Gysbert Johannes Muller, thank you

That quote typifies his commitment to Ulster. Arguably DH's greatest moment was signing him - & shows the importance of looking at the qualities of the man as well as the skill of the player when recruiting.

Our finest overseas signing by some distance. :red: :fleg: :salut:

Re: Heineken Semi finals

Got in from work and saw the last try & have just watched the first 30 odd minutes with Sarries 21-3 up. I can watch no more. They certainly got the rub of the green from the ref. I genuinely admire Brits, who is a quality player and person IMHO. However, I simply find it impossible to like any ...

Re: Ulster v Connacht

This match will be as much a test of character as last Saturday but for different reasons. I honestly don't know which Ulster will turn up. This match and those remaining will define the season for me.

Re: HEC 1/4 Final Ulster Rugby V Saracens

As I was standing on the park n ride bus after the match, staring at my feet, shaking my head and nearly in tears a lady beside me said, "Never mind, at least Ireland are 6 nations champions." :banghead: :roll: :scratch: :banghead: I politely but firmly told her that was no consolation.......

Re: Ticket Info for Quarter Final

Like others I was good to go at 2.00pm, code, card. ticketmaster login ready but to no avail. I see reports of BOI folk getting 10, massive amounts of new season tickets holders etc etc but there were 14,000 tickets theoretically available (allowing for Sarries allocation). I would like to know how ...

Re: Nick Williams

If it is a one off then I think sacking is harsh. However, if this incident is the latest, as opposed to first, disciplinary matter then it may all end in tears with a NIQ spot freed up.... an announcement does feel like UR preparing the ground for a severe sanction. Personally, I hope it gets sorte...

Re: Engerland v Ireland

Don't like to say any player injured but this is only good for Ireland IMHO. I agree, Cole is past his best but he has experience and was part of a settled pack. The likely replacements are short of game time (Wilson) & International experience.

Re: ‘Gay people don’t play sport, it is too manly’ – Franno

Baggy, Perhaps it has prevented them coming out but neither you or I know that. I know you didn't suggest sacking him - Shamilicious did and I disagreed with him. I have re-read my post and I do not see where I am trying to limit what people post here. I have not even hinted at it. I did not say tha...

Re: ‘Gay people don’t play sport, it is too manly’ – Franno

He does not deserve the sack. When are we all going to stop so bl**dy precious when someone states a view that is controversial (even slightly)? I do not like Francis as a pundit or 'journalist' :roll: or agree with his view on this subject, but I do think he is entitled to it. This subject deserves...

Re: Bye Johann!!!

Arguably our best overseas signing. Others may get the headlines on the pitch but his efforts as a player, leader and mentor has been immense. A great man. :red: :fleg: :salut:

I wish him and his family well.

Re: Injury Update

I hope that is wrong! If Wilson is injured it is a serious setback for us.
