Re: Contract Situation

What, Noel McNamara ?

But of course, if your mates want Lynne Cantwell, I do like their left-field thinking. >clapping

Re: Vote early, vote often.

If I'm right, Bethany Ferris (UUP N.Antrim) is 26/27. She's very much the exception in the main parties but there seem to be a number of younger people (especially women?) in the fringe groups. Of course fringe groups have little chance of making much of an impact but, who knows what the direction ...

Re: Contract Situation

Sure, Dan will pick from the players available. That will probably include DV and the Much Better Rea. I trust that the HIA/RtP Protocols will be passed for Billy Burns. Your mates acknowledge lots of good things Dan has done (I'd say that given his integrity Dan will also point to other's efforts t...

Re: Vote early, vote often.

Just thought I'd throw this into the mix: 'The unpalatable truth emerging from the growing weight of pensioners in the overall electorate is that, for the first time since 1789, there is a valid argument against universal suffrage and representative democracy. It is not normal that the inactive sho...

Re: Ulster v Munster Friday April 22 7:35pm KO BBC2NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports 2 / URC TV / Super Sport

Something is usually worth doing in and of itself i.e. the kids enjoy it, but often because it serves a wider purpose i.e. it may well be a very useful stage on someone's rugby journey. It's also not proven, either way in fact, that playing at half-time at Ravenhill as a mini makes you a long term p...

Re: Ulster v Munster Friday April 22 7:35pm KO BBC2NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports 2 / URC TV / Super Sport

Ulster should be throwing money at the clubs system Look at the hundreds of kids who play at ravenhill at half time and every sat morning. We've all seen some naturally talented kids with good hands and balanced running but how many of them will reach the narrow funnel of a few top schools? There i...

Re: Ulster v Munster Friday April 22 7:35pm KO BBC2NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports 2 / URC TV / Super Sport

Have to agree with nearly everyone on this thread re: last night's performance from both team and players. Don't think I've left Ravenhill so angry for a very long time. in 5 from 6 URC matches we've lost in this season, a back-row (4) or lock (1) has been MotM for the winners. Tells you everything ...

You do make me laugh, StandUp. All those long words like pretentious and festooning....almost Nigel from Bravo Tango Nine with cravat too. Or have you been down kissing that Big Fish by the Lagan Weir this afternoon ? If so, :red: :king: Your point about confidence is a valid one. Not sure that Bill...

Ah so you’re a StandUp comedian then. Very amusing. Game day. I reckon tonight’s loser will be playing their quarter final in South Africa…. Nope just appreciating someone else’s humour. Sorry Mrs Burns. No esprit and certainly not even on l'escalier with that reply, StandUp..... and with your apol...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

Unfortunately Sexton isn’t of the standard. Postlewaite will get game time next year for sure. If I’m in charge at Ulster then my Top 3 priorities with all things considered currently. 1. Loosehead - already stated the issue. We don’t want another Carter situation in which we don’t get our main tar...

URC Grand Final 2021-22 season

Do I read it right that if Ulster finish second, get to the final and someone else has put Leinster out before the final then Ulster get to play at Ravenhill ?

Re: Ulster v Munster Friday April 22 7:35pm KO BBC2NI / RTE2 / Premier Sports 2 / URC TV / Super Sport

Lord, now it seems we're reliant solely on DV, Billy Burns and a lad who has only played regularly since October... ! It's abundantly clear what Munster will come to do - win scrum dominance, penalties for points or the corner and truck over tries from 5 yards. The only issue is whether Carbery kick...

Let's hope too that the IRFU want to keep him in Ireland - their reasoning being just in case Leo Cullen doesn't want the Ireland job.

Re: Contract Situation

Vovlo, would agree 100% with your humble opinion. Would be very keen on getting Dan to stay beyond 2023. Can also understand why he should be in the England discussion, but as Justin73 says, Baxter and Borthwick would be ahead of him, not least as they know the relevant players a lot better. Post-Jo...
