NEWSFLASH - It's in Russia and is being lit this afternoon and its all live on BBC2 (NI) which is why kickoff tonight @ Ravenhill is delayed by 30 minutes - moved from 7.05pm until 7.35pm. Is this the first and only time an Ulster kickoff time has been dictated by the Olympic Torch?

Just hope we're not left standing around getting cold while the ref waits for the nod that Th'olympics ceremony has finished!

Rumours that the Torch was going to be at the Irish Cup Final @ Windsor Park, Belfast tomorrow between Ballymena and Glenavon have proved ill-founded http://www.olympic.org/news/youth-olymp ... 014/230574

ITS HERE NOW and headed up Scrabo TODAY - No, sorry it's not the Olympic Torch but it's the next best thing.
If folks would prefer I'll consider creating a new thread for the Commonwealth Baton but it's all here for now

No
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

For the avoidance of any doubt the Torch was lit a week ago in Greece and may well be in South America already.
