No it doesn't. Say a refuge from Syria has family in Manchester, speaks English but not Greek why should they stay in Greece? People who advocate this approach just don't want refugees to come here at all as the only place we could accept refugees from would be Ireland. Luckily thanks to the Rwanda...

Is Aye related to Richie Murphy?

We did some good things tonight, understandable to have doubts given just how awful we were last week.

Can we talk about Dave McCann though, top class at 6, 7 or 8

Yeah and Treviso deserve 2 points

Could come back to hurt us mind.

Stockdale deserved that he's been a real threat ball in hand. He’s been very good Both him and Bob coming more off the wing looking for the ball Burns is a waste of a shirt EOS isn’t much better, he really went off a cliff in terms of form I know it's fun to shit on burns but we're much more struct...

The deliberate knock on? I thought the interpretation was that most are meant to be now.

Yet polls show that the Rwanda plan has very low support among the public and stats show most of the people arriving on small boats are granted leave to stay as they are refugees. The small boats would drop if we made it possible for people to apply for asylum through safe and legal routes, instead...

I don’t want any of the boat people to come here. Happy to admit that. I am confident that the majority of the UK electorate agree with me. Yet polls show that the Rwanda plan has very low support among the public and stats show most of the people arriving on small boats are granted leave to stay a...

Still seems easier en masse to end migration rights for reasons of asylum, or there needs to be a scheme to share the numbers around, it not being fair to leave so much on Turkey, Greece and Italy, and so little on the likes of the UK and Ireland Bumbling along not accepting there's a problem but h...

Luckily thanks to the Rwanda plan they are your problem now. Let’s see if you feel the same way in a few years time when Ireland is completely swamped with “Refugees” coming into Ireland from the UK, and being stopped from sending them back to the UK due to the supposed risk of refoulment. I live i...

Given how well they (IRFU) seem to run budgets, common sense suggests NIQs are only likely to move province after the player rejects the top offer or the province doesn't want/can't have the player. I don't see any scenario where Synman could have moved just because Leinster offered more. When out ...

Also Denmark has not deported anyone to Rwanda They will. They are all watching what happens in the UK. Europe will slowly tighten their asylum laws but it'll probably be too late. As soon as there's a soft touch approach millions from Africa and Asia will keep coming to Europe in search of a bette...

Under the outdated refugee convention there is no requirement to seek asylum in the first safe country. The migrants are doing nothing wrong legally. There is no difference legally between crossing into Ireland from the UK on foot than crossing into the UK from France by boat. I personally feel the...

So we’ve bought our first car and a decent hifi system we are still far from wealthy I think we're wealthier than you're giving us credit for but that wasn't what I responded to. We're in the second stage of having a bit of cash, not the first like you suggested. In my adult lifetime we've built th...

Ulster should have no issue, Benetton's away form is awful I wouldn't say that, they beat Cardiff and Edinburgh away from home (as well as Zebre), we've only won 2 away from home ourselves. I'll be shocked if Ulster lose, that Cardiff game was the first one of the season. We have a 2nd-3rd choice f...

If Arteta over the next five years.. wins the Premier League and Champions League... While going close to more of each on other occasions.. Will Arsenal fans be unhappy? Klopp's got a winning record against Pep, that's all we need to know. No doubt he's the only manager in the history of the game w...

The truth is he was probably robbed of multiple league titles by Man City's BS rule breaking and financial doping. They paid £68m for Alisson, £75m for VVD and £85m for Nunez. Get me a violin Coutinho money. Since Liverpool won the league City have spent considerably more but they've also sold cons...

Yeah the bench is really weak. Injuries are stacking up when you look at who isn't available: LH: Kitshoff HK: Herring TH: TOT, Moore SR: Henderson, Treadwell BR: Timoney, Reffell SH: Doak FH: Flannery CT: Hume, Moore Issue of course the pack and it shows on the bench. Absolutely baffled to see Greg...

Mentally deficient. Earl have you misread the post you originally responded to? Its alright Diarm typical Earl response he would rather whine what are the IRFU doing for us while they are not producing enough or developing their own talent. Every other Province is supplying players to the other Iri...

He was in Belfast over the weekend and I was hoping he was going to come to Ulster in a coaching capacity.

earl the beaver

Proving yet again you are whiney moron, give us list of Ulster players who have joined the other Irish provinces in last 5 years. Mentally deficient. Earl have you misread the post you originally responded to? LC is continually asking me to respond to things I've not done and he's thick as pig shit...

How many Ulster players have ulster produced for the other provinces in the last 5 years? You whine (your defacto response) when Leinster yet again have to send you players as not you deem them not good enough but Ulster have the pick of their own best palyers with very few joining any of the other...

earl the beaver

I'd be fairly certain there have been more UIster produced players capped over the past 5 years than Connacht. In the past 5 years (since summer 2019): Ulster (5) - Stewart, Lowry, O'Toole, Hume, Baloucoune, Connacht (3) - Boyle, Prendergast, Blade I have not counted players brought in from abroad ...

earl the beaver

Statistically not true. But then you are mentally efficient Probably over the last 20 years but clearly not the case in the last 5 or so.

So we've been linked with a saffer, Payne and keeping Murphy on, oh and Pienaar was back in NI at the weekend.

earl the beaver

All you do is whine, you probably have the second biggest amount of players after Leinster. You produce the least number of players for the other provinces. Connacht are better developing players for the other provinces. Yet again we have to give you players as you fail to develop your own but all ...

Each entrant's core picks are scored based on their placing but if they finish in the top 10 they get an additional bonus 1= -20 2= -10 3 = -9 4 = -8 5 = -7 6 = -6 7 = -5 8 = -4 9 = -3 10 = -2 So those scores count instead of their placing There are then additional bonuses: -10 points for getting al...

Mr Edwards has resigned from BBC on medical advice https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68873266 What was it he did in the end? Looked at some only fans or something? Well done social media, you've done it again. I believe he paid a vulnerable 17 year old for some sexually explicit pictures....

Results are in, some key stats, we had 10 entrants (technically 11 but Zappa's picks weren't elligible), 6 of us (including me) selected players not in the field and so scored 90 points, 7 of us picked the winner (which wasn't exactly a long shot), only one entrant had all their picks make the cut. ...

looks like no NIQ props in the provinces next season. Leinster not signing an NIQ TH anymore? Not replacing Kitshoff at Ulster is monumentally stupid, sending Ed Byrne up here isn't suddenly going to make him a live option for Ireland nor is it going to do anything Ulster than making the Ulster squ...

Sounds like ACL/MCL for Hume. SK fully gone now too it seems, knee injury vs Clermont and he’s gone to SA for treatment. Ffs. Yay for plastic pitches that we can't even make money from in the off season because of resident complaints and licensing. Tbf, if I remember right the issue seemed to be wh...
