The OFFICIAL Ulster Rugby Thread

Myles Na G. · October 21, 2009, 10:16:22 PM

Is it not about time this Board had its own Ulster Rugby thread?

Top of the table derby match against Leinster at Ravenhill this Saturday with Ulster looking to bounce back from the disappointing defeat at Edinburgh last week in the HC. Should be close to a capacity crowd for this one, especially with a kick off time of 6.00pm.

O'Neill started an Official Ulster Rugby Thread a while back. It must have been popular.

What's so 'official' about these threads anyway? Has anyone ever started a rival 'unofficial' thread?

My mistake - I didn't see it. If someone wants to delete this one, I'll be happy to use O'Neill's.

Great match tonight, fair play to the Ulster lads, thought Munster were going to steal a draw at the end and a bonus point

How do you fcukers know who started what? I can't remember 5 minutes ago.

Myles Na G. · January 03, 2014, 10:05:52 PM

Had forgotten about this thread.

Just back from the match. Great game marred by some fairly atrocious refereeing, both sides suffering at different times. Added bonus was the weather - nice evening, if a bit windy, when everyone was predicting the end of the world.

In fairness there was some decisions that the referee didn't see but the the lines man should have seen it. They will take some stopping at Ravenhill so will need to win that that home draw

Early bid for the Ignorant Bollix of the Year 2014 award made by the stadium announcer at Ravenhill last night. Reading out the Munster team, he pronounced Donncha O'Callaghan's first name as 'Dun-cha'. He repeated the dose when DOC was being substituted. An embarrassment to Ulster Rugby.

To be fair, he also mispronounced the Ulster replacement hooker's surname too and it sounded like he was saying Ryan Piennar too - I think he is just a bit of a numpty. In his defense though, Donncha is a hardly terribly common name, although if he knows a bit about rugby, you'd imagine he would have made a better stab at pronouncing it correctly.

It's his lack of rugby knowledge that surprises me. He may not have come across the name Donncha too many times, but if he had even a passing interest in the game he'd know who DOC is and how his name is pronounced. Numpty is right.

Fantastic performance from Ulster last night. Home quarter against Saracens now - the ground will be finished by then, so there'll be 18,500 packed in for that one.

Any black cards ?
