The pain of being an Ulster supporter just never ends.
Re: Ulster v Toulouse Sat Apr 16 8pm KO BT Sport 2
Ah well. Maybe taking the points will be a thing that Ulster do someday.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Same oul Ulster … get yer hopes up and they let you down year after year. Plenty of effort but Very predictable played into their hands every time. Atrocious luck effectively being down to 12 men for their try at the death. Beyond gutted.

One of the great Ulster defeats .... and I've seen a few! Definitely left a few points out there.

I am disappointed.... but at the same time Im not. I don't consider it a let down. We nearly beat the best of french teams and current champions, only losing by 1 point. We're not the all blacks, we're feck Ulster!!

Yet again the top two inches let us down. It’s knock out rugby ffs. Take the points on offer.
If Burns played like this every week, I’d be a big fan.
Please Billy, bring some consistency. I know he missed a couple of tackles, but he stepped up and tried to control the direction of play at times, instead of just shovelling ball on.
I don’t see where the mental acuity is going to come from to move Ulster forwards and win championships.
We won’t win URC so yet another year without silverware.

To be fair, we wouldn't have won the Heineken either but we had a serious shot at making the semis.
Couldn't fault the effort but we could've been a bit smarter

... anyway there's more important things going on in the world. For the love of God, will somebody not sort HWM out with a fridge freezer?
Preferably one with a towbar!

What a heartbreak, and so typical of ulster. In fairness there was a real contest tonight even when we went a man down. Against the toulouse galacticos you have to say well done ulster. The draw did us dirty this year because of covid but we showed we aren't just here to make up the numbers. That was a valiant effort and the team should hold their heads higg in defeat. O'toole will feel raw, but for me the tide only got turned by the penalty against Hume for going off his feet, which was a very harsh call. That gave them access from which they scored the killing try. Up to then we were competitive even with a man down.
I was screaming at hendo to kick the points all night. we left their 22 empty handed more times than not. If we had kicked for goal, who knows, but I feel against big opposition, you have to kick your penalties. Also, for all cooney did well (and of that there was a lot) the box kicks between 55ish mins and 70ish mins killed us. They were all awful, kick after kick. Just terrible. It must have been part of the game plan but the execution was grim. Far too long, too infield and no kick chase.
Another tough night to be an ulster fan but there are some promising signs for the future. The URC will still be a bridge too far this year, with leinster just hitting their straps but we should have some big days out left in the season.

Just home and absolutely gutted but with no complaints, yes there are plenty of ifs buts and maybes over the two legs but to go toe to toe with Toulouse and end up within a point means in my mind we have progressed again.
In all my years supporting Ulster that score by McIlroy is the finest individual try finish I have witnessed, struggling to think of anything that comes close to 2nd.
A league final should now be the aim, and if we do that I'll be delighted.
