I think most people know who everyone else is though, so it's not really a big deal! We'll just have our own 'secret' conversations over there...

And I'm loving jamesie's rant at botp, both of whom make no sense whatsoever!!

I think not Chick

Am I missing something here?

botp - none of us are saying we spend our entire days on facebook. Therefore, us being on facebook is no different to you being on Bebo. I haven't been on Bebo for about a week, but my last comments must date back weeks. The few times I was on your page, all your comments went back about an hour or two, having conversations with people about 'the weather and boring stuff'.

Aine - yes, going on facebook is the same as Bebo, therefore botp's rants against facebook make no sense. That's what we've been saying.

LePaul - on facebook there is the facility to start any group you like - there are some really bizarre ones, and it serves as a connection between people who share a common interest, hence the Irish Rugby club, Tayto appreciation club, and a lot of internet forums and messageboards which operate on other sites will have a facebook group. The group set up is really only a means for those who wish to 'out' themselves to do so, as you need to use your real name. It's not going to lessen this website, as I seriously doubt it will ever include any intelligent rugby debate. It's not so much a messageboard extension as a group that will be shown on your profile so people will know you're a 'uafc'-er.

GerryO' - remember I know your real name...!

In all seriousness though, people who wish to remain anon on here probably can. I did for a while, but then decided to reveal my identity and meet up with some of the regulars.

UUC - thanks for that - I understand - I think

So for now I'll stick with my usual local pub I guess then.

goodaine cheers my friend

Ye Tout ye.

OK, so Chick knows my real name, but mercifully for her she doesnâ€™t know what I look like.

I should know what you look like and vice versa - but 25 years is a long time

Can't say I have improved any in that time

Following the HC draw what about a UAFC Facebook group trip to one of the away matches!

Jackie Brown · Post by **Jackie Brown** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 3:27 pm

I'm up for that!

Post by **fermain** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 3:55 pm

why just the UAFC facebook group?

It should be loads more, and methinks to the Bourgoin game wherever it may be. although Glaws and Swansea have both been good craic in the past.

Excellent aaron, stir it up... make them think we've started a rival MB, as that seems to be what they think!
