The UAFC

It's funny listening to all the rugby analysts/ex players/commentators all sharing their wisdom on the situation. Where was all this criticism when Dan was actually in the job?? Not one of them had the balls to speak up.

That’s what stood out to me. Cunningham has been every bit as poor as McFarland, perhaps even more so. The amount of rubbish players he has signed that haven’t been good enough for professional rugby is taking the pi$h. He talks a good game, but if he was working in the private sector he’d be found...

Just confirmed from Ulster Rugby. Cunningham getting more responsibility.

Wish Dan well but this is long overdue. Perhaps Petrie not getting the SRU job has pushed on as the sword needs to fall somewhere. The last 2 years have been absolutely brutal but before that he had us playing great stuff. He also had a serious dose of bad luck ... Stockdale dropping that ball inche...

Yep, Greg Jones also. Ulster low balling youngsters left right and centre. Absolute dire straights and makes you wonder wtf we went balls deep in with Kitschoff at half a mil per year. Never made sense to me as you know, given we could've had Sutherland AND LTA for much the same combined. Babbling ...

Massive clear out coming but Matty Rea gets a 1 year deal!!?

Wonder what the reasoning is for adding soldiers song now? Always knew it was BS about them using it only when the Irish president was in attendance.

Big upheaval what about McF?!

I don't think Ulster are in as financial dire straights as is being reported. I have absolutely no evidence to back this up.

I think the more worrying part of the report is that we are doing this as part of a cost cutting exercise. That means there will be no big money NIQ replacement. Or I think any replacement at all. If the Leinster players were moving they would go to Munster, just like carberry, though that was a lu...

Unbelievably smug the last 2-3 years. They have everything going for them as it is without poaching other provinces better players.

I think it'll take someone like a McCall who has won it all at club level to stick their boot up Ulsters collective hole. Our guys seem to get a bit too big for their boots after a few years with 'lesser' names (McCall ((before he left)), McLoughlin, Anscombe, McFarland et al.) The IRFU should go al...

McCall leaving Sarries and turning down probably a host of quality job offers to come to Ulster, would be a akin to him leaving a high-end 6-figure job in London/New York to go work as a Level 4 Civil Servant job on 30k a year at County Hall in Ballymena. Not. A. Chance. I agree we've no hope but s...

Frustrating thing is that after the last 2 years of chaos in the premiership, the Irish provincial sides are looking like pretty plum coaching jobs - good squads, decently funded and stable due to the union backing. The downsides are union heavy-handedness in international player selection manageme...
