You wouldn't understand Russ. You don't have the passion and you arent the 16th man. Only season ticket holders are real supporters!!

Twelve leaving; four coming, surely this reduces our SID?

Excluding those who choose not to attend finals your team doesn't feature in of course

Correct. Us real supporters are an increasingly elite group

Bants from the munts

Anyone who cannot see the passion in his eyes and the skill he has and talent must obviously 1.hate Munster because he is everything that Munster is and 2. A blind idiot!

Have been watching the rugby club and the build up to the final with Glasgow and Munster at our home, so the season's review is quite simple ANOTHER FAILURE

[againstthehead]

Been a tough season. Loss of Humph, no set coach, loss of Afoa, Muller and 1F last season. Usual injury hit list, tough European group and the odd spot of indiscipline.

It comes down to small margins. A bit of patience against Glasgow and we'd be looking forward to a home final and odds on for some silverware. Bit like last season, when a red card cost us a HEC SF. I think we're all getting a bit fed up of Ulster being the nearly men and whilst we can draft a long list of excuses, it's incredibly disappointing that we haven't something tangible for the progress we have made in recent seasons.

Having said all that, we've now consistently challenged come the business end over the last few seasons which is pretty cool compared to where we were a few years back. Attendances are excellent and we continue to attract decent players.

A decent coach, a couple of quality players and a touch of lady luck might get us over the line next time round.... well, we can dream...

Good summary ATH but you forgot or deliberately left out some shockingly erroneous refereeing calls/nocalls.

Been a tough season , ( should have stopped there, )

it's incredibly disappointing that we haven't something tangible for the progress we have made in recent seasons.

From being a ERC finalist to....progression?

No we have not

the odd spot of indiscipline.

From top of fair league to bottom is not an odd spot of indiscipline

[againstthehead]

In terms of being a HEC finalist.... we had a relatively easy group, a great away QF win against a limited Munster side. A home SF win over a tom kite Embra side and then got smoked in the final. Let's not get carried away - we were not the invincible. We had a nice run. Since then we have consistently come top 4 and reached the euro knock outs so yes, we have challenged come the business end relative to where we were before Glock. Perhaps you jumped on the bandwagon when we went to twickenham but I can assure you that prior to that, I'd have been pretty chuffed to get knock-out rugby at Ravenhill...
