So one bloke should be in prison, one bloke is displaying moral cowardice, they retaliate too much after getting smacked in the face and one has a silly name - does anybody have anything good to say about any of the Scarlets?
Caveats apply as it is entirely possible that the information contained in the above post is either an attempt at a wind-up, an attempt at a joke or just plain wrong.

He actually said "try, yes or no?" which meant it was the wrong decision. It was the wrong question though as Court clearly had control of the ball when he went over the line and there was nobody underneath him.

I'm a fan of Marshall but he's a hopeless tackler. Directly at fault for the try and had another shocking effort there.

Jaysus, GHook on RTE claiming a flat pass is illegal in rugby! Shaggy had to correct him. :roll:

Fair enough with binning them both, Trimble has done the fake hard-chaw against us before too.

But doesn't change the fact that Williams is a horrible piece of work.
Agree with all of that.

Trimble's God must have quite a bit of the knacker in him.

The look on his face was priceless! I'm guessing his agent will ask for him not to be put in the same studio as Horgan anymore so he won't make him look like an idiot (as if he needs any help!)

Good performance from Ulster. They look like they want this title big time. Payne and Bowe look like they are in sync.

Typical semi-final performance, got the result and then knocked off in the last 20 but it matters not.

Just thinking, if we win tomorrow, the battle for the terrace will be epic!!! :D

True, they'll all want to "Stand up for the Ulstermen", which has now been released on CD btw.

I remember back in Donybrook one year, they got there early and took over the middle of the terrace. One Leinster regular was so disgusted, he walked out and watched it in the pub.

Jaysus no, a chap who used to frequent this parish by the name of CrazyDave actually. We just took a spot further on the terrace and gave them the evil eye for the rest of the game, even though they were too far away to notice. We won anyhow.

Seriously though, us terrace dwellers are so used to out spots on the terrace, it would be so weird to arrive and find it packed out with Ulster fans. Not saying there would be ructions, but there would certainly be tensions!

Still this is all academic unless we win tomorrow. Can't see Glasgow bringing too many over. The RDS would be Ulsters!

Well I thought he did ask the 'first qustion.' Haven/'y go it on Sky-Plus, so can't check. But it clearly was a try anyway- and that WAS the question he should have asked! :)

Would sitting down on the terrace be the appropriate response to SUFTUM? :?

I remember that as I had the kids down to that match and after a good session in Kielys we headed down, your stewards tried to tell us that it was reserved for season ticket holders so we just walked past them and said thanks :lol:
