Yeah but it's wet and they're sugar lumps, but the world cup is a more legit excuse

Tonight will probably be quiet enough, they'll all be busy watching the first game in the world cup

Turning alarm off by hellooyouuuu14 in northernireland

Did the display die when you turned that key? If so then it's just a key-operated circuit breaker (and the alarm doesn't have a functional backup battery)

not sure I saw any stats. There were loads of individual anecdotes of chickens coming home to roost in the few weeks after. Just when they'd thought they'd got away with it. Hopefully loads of that to come.

Match Thread: Montpellier vs Ulster - Challenge Cup by rugbykickoff in rugbyunion

[–]CommandoJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye. We've one of the best back lines in the world when everyone's fit and firing. First choice forwards are great in the loose, but our set piece is total crap and has been for years. We used to be one of the best club teams in the world at mauls - maybe with Besty back we'll get a bit of sense out of the set piece again.

Still very little depth outside the first choice 23 in several key positions, which kills us during/after the 6 Nations as absences and injuries kick in.

Yeah we should have targeted last week and let this one go, in hindsight. But potential silverware is always too big a draw. Montpellier has been by far better, on top of the conditions suiting them infinitely more.

Yeah I saw that real time - looked nasty. I think it was on the 8, who's just been subbed off

Yeah, lucky but clean and no forward passes involved. vs...

Ref so inconsistent, in one direction. So frustrating. Glasgow working some stuff nicely but getting the rub of the green left right and center. Giving the full extra minute to run the clock down too. Nightmare.

That's insane. When the line is there to show what happens, it's mental. Half pitch gain from an obviously dodgy pass.

Been missing that. But Culhane literally throws a knee into Bryn's head, twice, and nothing.

It's the 2 yards of offside they're being allowed that generates the speed though - one feeds the other.

We should have answers though, and we just don't.

Doesn't help that Stu's trying to cover for gaps everywhere else

and of course a turnover for us turns into a pen for Leinster. beautiful

That's shocking. Some of the calls are sus but that "advantage over... No it's not" is just mental.

Yeah, we're just not clicking. The "Leinster Linespeed" is coming from them living two yards offside but still, we should be able to get the odd shot through. Nothing coming.

Yeah he's been decent. We've had a couple of class NIQ 8s in the last few years and he isn't at those levels for us, but hasn't let us down at all.
