Re: Question for Cables

D'ye like cricket Cables? Would have thought your penchant for statistical exactness would be admirably suited to the noble game.

Re: Squad v Dragons

5 points should be a realistic target now, though tbh I'd settle for the win after this weeks machinations.

Re: Report - McLaughlin to be shown the door at UR

And for the avoidance of any doubt, and lest we forget, it was under his tenure that the Rockettes arrived @ Ravenhill. Fot that alone i will remember him at the going down of the moon and when the sun rises. I take back everything I ever said about the "Rockettes". Yesterday's performanc...

Re: Question for Cables

Cheers mate. That's pretty much what I was looking for - might have include the draws as halves though :lol: Gives you the option of working out the %ages.

Alan Solomons' record certainly looks extremely impressive on paper.

Re: Report - McLaughlin to be shown the door at UR

Well that press conference went well.... :oops: I cringed for 15 minutes... Terrible advert for Ulster Rugby. Whatever your thoughts on the merits, or otherwise, of the decision, the handling of whole episode makes the branch look like a bunch of cack-handed amateurs. Does this look like the sort o...

Re: Dan Parks packs his bags

Hold on Shan... A man has given up his best years for his country and you want to pi$h on them...and then to add insult to injury slap it into a young Ulster man to boot... :evil: I wasn't aware that Parks was providing a charitable service. Did he give the best years of his life to his country by ...

Any chance of common sense prevailing in all of this, or is that the stupidest question posed here today?

How does McGlock's win/loss record in competitive matches to date compare with his 2 predecessors?

Re: Fez & Davies cited.

"the player didn't land on his head/neck and he never let him go" For that matter the player was never actually off the ground, his left foot was planted on the turf throughout the tackle and only lifted when his arm hit the ground. Just watched it on the news and you're right. He wasn't ...

Re: Fez & Davies cited.

Be harsh if Ferris is banned. Warburton said there was no malicious intent there. Bloody daft if you ask me. Both incidents happened in full view of the match officials who took the action that they deemed appropriate at the time - should be end of story imo. If the IRB aren't happy, Pearson and co ...

Re: Ireland v Wales

I think a lot of Irish rugby commentators are guilty of not giving a number of the Welsh players enough respect. It is probably a result of performances in the HEC where the coaching and culture of the provinces boost the reputation of the Irish players. The reverse is true for Wales, but out of th...

Re: Dragons game.

Are the Dragons missing any notable players?

Big game this for Ulster's Rabo hopes. Could really be doing with a minimum of 10 points from the 3 games against the Taffs.
