That would have taken a while. None of the noise sensitive 'don't park in my drive way' local residents see anything?
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Too true Dave … I for one park in one of those nice quiet streets for the games means a short walk in and car is nice and safe ( not Cregagh side) I can have a few drinks before driving home. Last week one resident had the cheek to ask why I was parking blocking their drive … I mean the cheek I pay my tax and park where I like

The curtain twitchers never miss a fart within 50 yards of their home. Yet someone can spend 30 mins or so spray painting. I'm parking where I like from now on.

Maybe a new chant to liven things up at the games?

It will be interesting to see if Ulster actually do anything about this... They were happy to be the paragons of virtue with regards to PJ and SO, but then again as we know in that case sponsirs call the shots anyway.

If only he had been applying the paint with a hammer.

Spelling accuracy rules out many of the locals.

It would be more interesting if, for example BoI were to feel it were inappropriate to cosponsor a team with Kingspan, because of their compliance practices.

Or Kingspan were to feel it were inappropriate to cosponsor with BoI, because of their sexual discrimination practices.

Given the Ravenhill Park demographic, might it be worth considering that the miscreant was merely a local fan of the late great English miseuse, Joyce?

They will ever work out who did this. It has been tagged TMN who are a known "crew" so its hardly gonna take Sherlock Holmes to work it out. But any known members obviously wouldn't have been there, and any CCTV footage will show people in hoodie and masks in the dark.

Anyway it was deserved. Who could honestly say they would walk thru the London Borough of Kensington or thereabouts with an Ulster top on?

Interesting that they actually sign their handiwork and all seemingly done in full view of the security camera pointing directly at the artwork. Of course it appears that Ulster Rugby didn't want to make an issue of it with a police friend of mine suggesting that allegedly they didn't even report it to the police instead painting over as quickly as they could. Unfortunately a BBC reporter cutting through on their way to work stumbled across it and made sure the cameras got in before it was covered.
