You are very welcome Eastman, enjoy the craic. I don't deal in "real" "proper" or "loyal" supporters, nor indeed "continuity" supporters, if folk support Ulster they are supporters, simple as that.

Joyfully, your hopes mirror my own and in timescale too, so obviously, play yer cards right mate and you could have a future here. The inner circle is but 10000 posts away. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh God, I've just realised, I forgot "true" supporters, they'll be pished off. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Like baggy I await the door slamming shut on his ass before I finally breath a sigh of relief... a relief so big that it matches the one of Derry..

Now all we need is a S&S Coach and a Physio in my opinion at least two essential ingredients going forward... Indeed I await what a pre-season of conditioning looks like without the S&C Coach in place and setting the route going forward but no doubt we will hit the ground running now that the coach is in place and the Scots still think he is walking the golf course.

I predicted the Ashton would be gone.. I predicted a new number 10.. so I now predict a season of new faces some very new some we have seen before but many young and signs of a slow step to weeding out those that have/haven't a future in the years ahead... the future may indeed be bright but it is not coming quick it may even take as long as finding out that Manchester University isn't the University of Manchester... On that I digress but I see they are looking a GAA Coach there (latter not former) so maybe with a few new lines on a CV and given his discovery that Ravenhill is nothing more than a second hand GAA pitch they can have the man for the job..

I await the book...

Welcome Eastman.
Posting on a computer must be easier than the old quill feather days.
I'm sure you have seen changes in your time of watching Ulster.
Like flight.
Joking asides I hope Ulster play the type of stuff that will keep you on the edge of your bathchair.
