Thank god I'm getting a ferry and losing signal soon.

There were some poor players in that starting Ulster lineup. The 10 was terrible, as were a few others. The fascination with picking lads from a certain select few schools really holds back Ulster's recruitment. Yes they train like animals and play in good, well coached teams but they aren't necess...

In fairness, it is 2 different competitions.

All managed by the one body.

We'll sign some IQ duffer from the championship and Bryn will call it a triumph while we have no NIQs and finish 14th in the league.

HMS Ferret was not a US sub base but was where the Nazi U-boat fleet surrendered. That was handy, seeing that they used to refuel just around the corner Saved on petrol true enough.

The MOD own a navy base up there, not sure the Government own an old bridge from Larne to Stranraer? They do in their arse. The yanks had a submarine base in WW2, and the RN used Ebrington for some time after. There is more likelihood of an Irish naval base in Derry than a new British one. HMS Ferr...

Lads anyone changed to yuno energy? They are way cheaper than the main providers - prepay monthly estimate bills that get credited depending on your usage. Daily updates on usage on the app. Is there a catch or is everyone not using them a complete flippin idiot? We've had a couple of things like t...

It's a worst-worst scenario, just as John Doyle's € 3-4 bn is a best-best. The interesting thing ? The cost/benefits of unification are coming under academic scrutiny and consequent public debate. That moves the issue politically from the long finger, to the here and now. It's not quite worst case,...

Jackman is saying the Munster camp is not a happy camp. Said it twice on the rte podcast today. He didn't go into any detail. I wonder if some senior players are unhappy about not being offered a contract. Jackman has good contacts but he's also a spoofer at times to seem more ITK. Said Ulster shou...

670k.

Bryn said we aren't signing anyone.

Also Ulster have no props.

We also might still be paying Kitshoff while he plays for the Stormers.

We are so fùcked next season Warwick, Stewart, O'Toole, Hendo, Sheridan, Rea, McCann, Timoney, Cooney, Doak, Stockdale, Stu, Hume, Balacoune, Lowry, Herring, Reid, Wilson, Treadwell, Rea, Shanners, Flannery, McIlroy Not a bad team but the bench is a little light. LHP is the obvious weakness in the ...

earl the beaver

It's generally more subtle than that. Taking lanes out and putting in half-arsed cycle routes in spite of little or no demand, or ridiculous lowering of speed limits with no good reason. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/nov/04/brexit-lack-of-cash-politics-has-the-uk-cycling-revolution-...

Could feasibly have 3 teams finish on 100 points + in the champ, madness.

Ipswich must be the luckiest team in existence though, so many 90+ goals.

Implementing restriction, limiting and undoing is also a lot easier than properly planning and building, or implementing, something lasting that ticks more boxes that eliciting a smug smile from a spotty onanist with a hemp scarf. It's it's intellectually and practicably lazy to say that cars are b...

Will the good Chinese restaurant I like be forced to move into my zone ? Will there be a 5 guys ? Will all the supermarkets be forced to open a branch? What’s the measurement of “amenities “ ?

Bloody good game for such a low scoring 1. Lot of positives for Ulster, defence was very good mostly, attack obviously needs more work but that will take time to change, Ulster supporters should be starting to look forward to a decent end to the season. We missed a lot of tackles still, at one poin...

earl the beaver

Ulster look a much better team already. Not so sure, Stormers weren't great and we're still dropping a lot of ball. We offloaded a lot but we've been doing that all season, just the Stormers didn't punish us in the way Quins did for example (where we made way more metres and breaks). Players seem a...

Miles forward pass missed now, then two knock ons and he calls it for an Ulster knock on when Rea clearly knocks it back.

earl the beaver

Foul play trumps knock on surely?

earl the beaver

That's a great line by Timoney and pass from Doak.

Wtf is Baloucoune doing on that cross field kick though.
