Re: Autobiographies

just finished Guy Martins latest tome " We Need to Weaken the Mixture". I like the man, daft as a brush, honest and a grafter.

Winners

Congratulations to our latest winners.
Colin Turkington secures the 2018 BTCC title for the 3rd time.
Jonathon Rea now a 4 time world champion.
That we can produce sportsmen who know how to win puts a bit of gloss on the weekend after the infamous massacre at Thomond

Re: Munster V Ulster Sat 29th Sept 7:15

Let's not forget the headline of the final score. At no time has a 64 7 defeat to another Irish province been acceptable . Notwithstanding the relative strength\ weakness of the teams and irrespective of the competence of the officials the result is almost the inevitable result of the 4 previous gam...

Re: Dan McFarland

I have not heard anything specifically related to a formal interim coaching arrangement. I have been told that Farrell has been to Ravers on 4 visits over the last few weeks , presumably pre tour to Oz, looking over the current squad. If either rumour of a temporary coach are true it would indicate ...

Re: And today, joining the underground .....

Whilst I have every sympathy for the family and friends of Dan Kneen, can we really call the death of a road racing motorcyclist a tragedy?
Colin
With due respect in the strictest Dictionary definition of the word we can.

Re: Ulster V Ospreys SDC Qualification

In my view there was one very significant moment after the game. The entire squad including those retirees/leavers not playing gathered round in a circle and being spoken to by Rory. That Rory would do this is only to be expected from a player of his stature and class. But nevertheless I was struck ...

Re: Dan McFarland

I really can't see too much of an issue here. So Dan has made his decision. If Townsend believes that holding him to the full 9 months of his contracted term serves Jock rugby well he is a bigger balloon than we all thought. To Bryn I would say `houl yer ground ". No organisation that I have be...

Re: Season Ticket - Renewing or Not

Since starting this thread I had always assumed that for next year there would be no reason not to take up a season ticket again. Oh how little I knew of what was to come. Picking up on Tender's strap line "Support the Team, not the Regime" I feel that I can walk back into the Hill next se...

Re: PLAYERS NOT HAPPY

Baggy I have been wondering about that statement by Red, it did seem an unusual situation. Post the media circus and the betrayal by FIRFU I cannot see how the players can be other than extremely upset and that situation will only have worsened following Logan's amateur hour attempt in his media int...
