I keep hearing great reviews about this guy but not really getting a look in with Ulster (and likely less so with the signing of King)

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread

Northern Ireland were immense again last night

Absolutely battered the Germans for the last thirty minutes

Conor Bradley and even a semi competent ref and we would have got something out of that game

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Best performance from Ulster in a long time. Real signs of light at end of tunnel. Only issue was at scrum. And they are very reliant on starting half backs, which would be another concern. Bell will hopefully anchor the scrum Yeah halfbacks are a problem behind the starters Hume was very good as w...

Look well coached. ;)
