Good point about the numbers. I'd say very few of the 16k+? come from outside Ulster. Most of them could probably described as part of the rugby community. Many will have followed the trial in some detail.

The 70k is an international trending campaign attracting widespread support from many who know little or nothing about the detail.

Many also on the bandwagon of the abortion referendum which is coming up soon down there linking it as they want it legalised in the event of rape which is perfectly logical and fine by me but dragging the players in is not as they were cleared and girl is not pregnant as a result of the night.

The 70k one only asks that the IRFU review the issue, which they already are. It's pointless.

The ones up here don't even bother with that one as it is pointless but the Dublin crew think it is great.
As far as BOI goes they have probably hit on head office and not the North division and that gives them more weight as it is a pittance Ulster are payed compared to Leinster.
If this was an internal Ulster review I think it would be all looked at differently that the review being centered around Dublin.

Listening to the radio this morning 105 and Nolan, no one there to challenge them and ill informed lazy journalists do not help our cause. male on about BOI sponsorship and was totally appallingly informed , no one to challenge and say for example, BO! are throwing a shot across the bow, but lets look at other reasons, they didn't sign up to sponsorship if UR don't get European Cup and now it (PRO 14)has been moved to a pay to view station with a lesser target audience, so yes it is a business decision but what are the real factors, they have no issue with Murray being a poster boy (airbrushed Zebos juice if the shirt) The protesters were not challenged why have they shifted their whole campaign from the original chant.
Still feel UR should engage them asap about their demand to educate, maybe Paddy and Stu later meeting with them to be re educated, that shows humility and a willingness to learn , oh and punishment.

its not rocket science its being pro active UR

UR matchday guide published and no mention of the protesters, thought they might have advised fans to enter by main gate

Will the protesters adhere to the Ulster Rugby Values?

That's a given. No upstanding Ulster fan would use the back entry.

I think it's just fine & dandy to see you all joining me as a feminist this morning, I keep saying that we should all be feminists but if that's not your cup of pish, ok, your call.

It is more or less impossible to argue against the points they are making, to do so would simply pin a notice to you saying "I'm a rather stupid ballix".

Kofi, I utterly commend you, just a shame you don't work for Ulster Rugby instead of Terry Slogan, the man who won the Falklands War, dragged Coca Cola from Dr.Pepper obscurity to be a leading brand, closed down the shipyard & ruined H & W, was present when Jesus woke up from his long weekend and rolled away the stone (an expression cynically exploited commercially by Mott the Hoople), took worldwide searches to Finaghy........ and beyond, and with his anti-Midas touch turned Ulster from Gold to Shyte, not to mention his uncanny tribute act to the Invisible Man.

You may not have all those achievements on that dodgy CV of yours but at least you know common sense when you see it. :salut:

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.
