The Spicy Plum was certainly signing plenty of autographs and gave my wife the thumbs up.
Which was more than my family ever did

I've always found Scotstoun unwelcoming for Ulster. Not sure why but would hope it's not a Gers/ Bhoys type of nonsense. Always seems an undercurrent you only usually get a Aviva when playing the Dubs or at Turnipstan. Argumentative and narky. Plenty of fleg comments too.justinr73 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 11:18 am Gonna have to watch the game back but from where I was freezing to death, it was quite a challenging evening.
That’s save the first 15 minutes which was the most surreal passage of one-way traffic I think I’ve ever seen.
Around the time the single malt wore off, or was it when Addison got done for crossing, there was only one team in it.
The period of play before half time when they kept messing up the lineout, stopping us from exiting, getting a pen and repeating the process for what seemed like forever was irritating.
It took until Glasgow had become dominant before the bloke next to me felt able to speak and he was civil enough tbh.
That was, predictably, as warm as our welcome got at the ground, in stark contrast to the city centre which was, as ever, pretty good fun.
NB Should a bunch of kids start hurling chips at you in the small hours, adopting the position of an expectant slip fielder defuses any potential tension.
I loathe Scotsoun and those weegies who inhabit it.CIMANFOREVER wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 2:01 pmI've always found Scotstoun unwelcoming for Ulster.

Weegie city centre is as you say, a cracking place.
