I see our esteemed BelTel rugby journo is try to create some filler content ... his Ulster Stock take for next season was ok bar the glaring omission of outhalves......

Then the Ulster school's catchment piece was a meandering sheugh of unintelligible dribble.... will someone please check in on him, i don't think isolation is doing him any good!

[justinr73]

I think you’re right!

[justinr73]

Fair play to him for the “plough a lonely furlough” pun in the Club World Cup piece, even if he did have to shoehorn it in there in a somewhat contrived and not entirely accurate fashion!

The Cliff Thorburn interview is good.

[solidarity]

Cliff Thorburn - now there's a name from the distant past. He looked haggard forty years ago, he must look like death only slightly warmed up now.

[Jetstream]

When Cliff played Terry Griffiths it was like watching paint dry.

Cliff earned his stripes as a hustler in Canada, became world champion and now has a gay dating app named after him.

That’s some going.

I would be more worried about Ruckie. Looking up social media to dig dirt on Ulster players. He will have his tongue up their hoops again when rugby resumes.

That article on Gilroy was a disgrace...

Ruckie has really let himself down writing bile like that. He might be thinking in his head he is just doing his job, have a bit of integrity!

For those that haven't read the non article

I enjoy reading Bradleys articles on the whole, he's a good reporter, but if his pals in the office are going to write mud like that I'll be avoiding the Belfast Telegraph sports pages.

Frankly ruck is a feck joke... desperate for any sport related story why not something positive about how pro sportsmen/women are managing to keep fit. Between this and the O’Connor’s BT going out of its way to snipe away at UR I hope the players decide to shun you ruckie I know I wouldn’t give u the time of day...

Provided they social distance and are wearing gloves and don't use share /use the same equipment I personally can't see what the storm is about .

hree people go unto a rugby pitch -- one is running down the centre one and two run down the wings are they training with each other arrive separately and leave separately .

I understand that everyone should be following the rules because if people don’t then we end up with packed beaches, parks etc. However if Gilroy and his training partner were maintaining social distancing and not maybe not even going inside his house, then this really isn’t that newsworthy. There has to be a bit of common sense. If he is exercising and maintaining social distancing then is that really much different from doing it in a park, where there will be other people around? There was only 1 other person also.

There are plenty of people in supermarkets and parks who have a greater disregard for this and are putting others more at risk.

If he had invited mates round for a party it would be a different matter, but really don’t see this as newsworthy, even on a very slow newsday.

I love the photo of Marty clambering over the fence with his knapsack.

He looks like he’s been scrumping for apples.

Who just said “toffee” at the back there?

[Aird]

The real irony is the Tele describing the Gilroyarticle as a “Premium Article”personally I gave up buying the BTele after they published the scurrilous Advert re the court case. I suspect that I was not alone in doing this.
