It could be argued that 0micron doesn't exist.

or at least theoretically ain't around very long.

1micron will be infinitely longer.

I think you have hit upon something there!

Like a lot of the rules of rugby union, the HD rule has to the best of my knowledge, never been codified into the laws of UAFC.

Great work BR.

Made sure we tuned in to Absolute Radio on the way back, although I couldn’t turn down the chance to listen to Toby Keith’s ‘As Good As I Once Was’ on the country channel.

Excellent work BR, but I cannot help wondering whether you actually intended playing man or ball. I'm not sure if it was a genuine effort to address a worrying situation in the match, or if it was just a reflex action. Even if a reflex action though, some brain power was involved and it could not have been without repercussions.

Accordingly, as a starting point, I think a yellow card may be deserved, with an acceptance that sometimes it is necessary to "take one for the team".

Without mitigation then it's ten minutes in the bin for you, and a very well deserved pat on the back from your teammates. With inspiration like yours I'm sure we could hold out with 14 for the duration.

On fuller consideration though, having looked at the bigger picture (and yes, I know you don't like the big pictures) in mitigation, I'm prepared to consider your actions as a genuine attempt to "play the wee man", not the ball, and therefore think that sending you for an HIA is more appropriate, cos after even that little thought about you-know-who, there is no way your brain can be fit enough to come back into the game after just 10 minutes in the bin.

It is recommended that BR should therefore follow return to play protocols involving >burp , :stout: :drunken: , until such time as you-know-who has been expunged from his memory.

It should also be noted that repeated brain injuries resulting from mention of, thoughts of, seeing pictures of, listening to, or any other exposure to you-know-who can have life-long repercussions on those concerned. UAFC is actively engaged in research linking dementia with repeated brain injury caused by you-know-who, or would be if it wasn't already obvious that this is a no-brainer.

That is correct - he's from Annahilt, but they never thought to leave the 'e' off.

Thankfully he's not from Augher. :shock:
