The UAFC

This rip was ruled a knock on by Poite. The resulting scrum produced a penalty which Byrne kicked for 3 points. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190401/9a77fd2953739396e699a32554c93af8.gif To me, that looks like the ball goes forward, then bounces back. I don't know the rules well enough to know ...

Losing hurts more when it’s close. Let’s hope that some of those who came for the day out yesterday will start being regulars at Ravenhill. You get the feeling that with the age profile of the squad, and the performances that we’re now starting to see, that something really good is just around the ...

Heading to the Sandymount Hotel before the game. Weather looking good.

Sport, IMHO, should be something which requires a modicum of athletic activity. I'll reluctantly give you darts, but if you start putting in board games, where does that stop? Is draughts a sport? Tiddlywinks?

Nobody likes a tell-tale. I understand there were Ulster fans singing in the Red Panda on Saturday night but I would not go so far as to name them. Speaking of singing, there is a very strange story in the BT online this evening relating, loosely, to football and Tiffany’s classic number 1 single. ...

I've been threatened in Rotherham, chased down the street In Cambridge, had bottles thrown at me (well, in my general direction) in Coventry. And that's just the away games. The home games were just as terrifying when the likes of Cardiff, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Plymouth came to town. ... Rot...

On the plus side, you can still go to a rugby match, stand wherever you want in the ground, and not get your head kicked in. You also don't have to put up with seeing your favourite player being thumped by a fan. Slainte :thumleft: It's hard to beat a good generalisation, ain't it? I have been to m...

Good start to Euro 2020 last night. Norn Iron 2 Estonia 0 . And it just goes to show that you don't want to be winning at half time ( 0 - 0 ). Some fans gurning about the atmosphere but way better than Ravenhill in my opinion. Found the £5 charge for a small bottle of magners a bit steep. And traff...

It was a horror show. All 15 were useless, backrow and half backs beaten up. I had predicted a good defeat but not a hiding. Schmidt was top of world three months ago with not just a GS from last year but the ABs' scalp.What a funny old world. He now has to find a way back but he has time. He may n...

So I see the UK Parliament has voted in favour of requesting the EU to extend the A50 timeframe. Hardly a surprise but I'm not sure what they expect more time to do for them as the politicians don't seem to be able to agree on what they actually want. If her deal passes on Tuesday, the request will...

It's called Derry in the same way Carrickfergus is called Carrick. People who call in Londonderry in casual conversation are trying to make a political point, knobs. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk By that logic it should be Fergus ? Derry is used as much as a political statement as Londonderry...

Republic of Ireland has been a allegdedly net contributor because UK bailed them out from; 2008? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk Hardly a bail out. The UK lent Ireland money and has received £42m in interest every 6 months as a result. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/ireland-p...

Why wouldn't we all be better off financially? I don't know the answer to that, but it is much more than simply the business community etc would perform differently and other countries or EU would pump money in. When it comes down to the nitty gritty, people tend to vote according to how it will af...

Yes, a million euro each and I think we would all feck aff back to Scotland! Would also buy some pad with panoramic sea views on the Devon or Cornwall coast if you were that way inclined. It would take much less for me to vote for unity..... a simple indication that I'd be financially better off or...
