I had been bought an air horn by my father (who partakes in these boards now and again) and thought I was rhe dog's janglies
But I knew to respect the butter.
Some big jackalope enquired on the terrace if I was going to use that air horn at all, and if not why not?
So me, a we'en did hold up my horn, and depress the button
Needless to say, Diego of Italy was in his backswing and the ball sailed high and wide
Out came the "in Ravenhill we have a great tradition of respecting the opposition butter"
Needless to say, Diego had a kick to win the game in the last minute. I knew I had a job to do
I raised by right hand up to St Ruan (Jesus' brother) and depressed my index finger on that horn. Diego of Paris missed and we won an epic real Heineken Cup game
I was the hero of the hour
And that is why your name is on the wall in the Tunnel of heroes.
Highlight of the night was the three amigos in front of me, dont get me wrong, well behaved, not plasteted ... Joined in, but the middle one was obviously the rugby guru... The others hung on his every word.... At half time he informed his apprentices... "We have just signed another South African... Marsil Coo-e-t-seee" straight face, didnt break stride, thats how its spelled thats how its pronounced. Epic.
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"

Wish I'd heard that - on a totally unrelated point, here's a random crappy quality pic of a few men in the crowd!

I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right
Now the newbie fan at Ravenhill can often be irritating but on Friday there were 3 fellas standing beside us (Us Being a group of grumpy ex players who've played at varying levels and most of whom are still coaching, so we kinda know our stuff) these 3 guys have never played and only got into rugby last year and they were great.
Asking questions about decisions etc. they were interested in learning unlike the Ulster are brill brigade.

'Twas a pleasure to stand with them.

Nice for Clarke and Malone to mingle like that.

I was stuck beside the prophet of doom on Friday night. He knew what he was talking about, but jeepers he was negative.
