Possibly, but the Pro12 has always been a pile of thrash though. I'm sure Back would've preferred to stay put in the English prem given the choice.

Yeah.
He was better off there.
No Pro12 sides could handle any of those English Premiership Giants over the years.  Pathetic Amateur standard in comparison.

Spot on.

Nuts.

Post deleted?

?

You said Pro12 has always been a pile of thrash. I said yeah, it has; pathetic amateur standard over the years in comparison to the English Premiership.

Why all the 'eh's of bewilderment?

I deleted it because it was obsolete and would have obviously caused confusion. I was wondering what the 'eh?' was about and then I thought I had a typo on my original post that made you misread me...but on a second look, no everything read fine.

We're back to your 'eh?' and what it's meant to convey.

We're agreed then. Marvelous.

Oh of course we do...in our own ways...

I still don't get the 'eh?' though. It sounded like a 'ready to pounce on an offence' eh to me? Was it? Eh?

Scarlets are only 2 cards (or one match) from having as many yellows as the rest of the welsh regions all together.

Is it time yet to label the worst culprits as a bunch of thugs, who need to sort themselves out and mention there is something rotten with their fans who bay for blood all the time?

Ah, here!

Come on now. What normal right minded rugby fan would do that?...............

Well, joking aside, it's great to see Ulster Rugby back at the top of the table. Les Kiss has improved so many aspects of our play but, yeah, discipline is arguably the most dramatically improved aspect.

Dirty Turks.

No its time to say how dodgy and corrupt the league is, how else do you explain an Irish team at the top and Welsh one at the bottom?

Welsh at the top and both Ities at the bottom though?
D'Oh.

Alright, thats probably enough!

Dont worry Dave the Irish will top that table too at the end of the season, we designed the league that way

No need to whistle mun.

Connacht are top of the table now pretty much

Here you go Pilgrim, have a look at the dates you sad little stalker. I would say I await your apology, but to be honest I don't as multiple IDs makes it so much easier to be a coward hiding in the shadows.

And back again, so it would seem.

Is Chunky still on this site? Must be delighted we've cleaned up our act. Although maybe he actually shattered his self-righteousness bone when Cardiff signed Nick Williams, and is still in hospital.

No doubt its further proof of the PrO'12 conspiracy or maybe backs up how dodgy some of the decisions against Ulster were last season

The table back at the start of Feb 2016


Ulster Rugby 4 yc
Munster Rugby 3yc (1 ban)
Benetton Treviso 6yc
Cardiff Blues 4yc (ban)
Ospreys 7yc
Connacht Rugby 7yc
Leinster Rugby 5yc (1 ban)
Edinburgh Rugby 7yc (1 ban)
Newport Gwent Dragons 8yc (1 ban)
Glasgow Warriors 11yc
Zebre Rugby 12yc (1 ban)
Scarlets 17yc

The table as it stands now

Ulster Rugby 6 yellows (+2 yellows)
Ospreys 8 yellows (+1 yellow)
Connacht Rugby 10 yellows (+3 yellows)
Cardiff Blues 8 yellows & 1 proven citing (+4 yellows)
Munster Rugby 9 yellows & 1 proven citing (+6 yellows)
Edinburgh Rugby 10 yellows & 1 proven citing (+3 yellows)
Newport Gwent Dragons 12 yellows & 1 proven citing (+4 yellows)
Leinster Rugby 10 yellows & 2 proven citings (+5 yellows, +1 proven citing)
Benetton Treviso 10 yellows, 1 red & 1 proven citing (+4 yellows, +1 Red, +1 proven citing)
Glasgow Warriors 16 yellows (+5 yellows)
Scarlets 18 yellows (+1 yellow)
Zebre Rugby 16 yellows, & 1 proven citing (+4 yellows)

It's very pleasing to see Ulster have sorted out the problems they had with discipline a few seasons ago- not because it annoys posters who aren't even on the site any more, but because it was costing us games. You saw what happened to Leinster in the last 10 minutes when they played a quarter of the game against us with 14 men. That game was much closer than the scoreline suggested for most of it, yet we pulled away.

While we may not be picking up the yellows any more we still have problems with consistent infringing when teams get into our half and put us under pressure.

Looks that way. Keeping out of the way of the citing commissioner has certainly helped, as the bans were what had you at the bottom last year.

Don Alfonso wrote:Is Chunky still on this site?

Have a word with your fellow supporters I am sure some of them can fill you in on the details.

I think it was a one-season blip last season. The year before that, we won the Fairplay league (maybe jointly with Connacht?)

Basically, Doak in charge = a shambles of discipline.

True about the bans. Don't know what happened, really. McCloskey's was just clumsy and unfortunate (albiet correct) and Henderson's was overturned. But Marshall's and Williams' were brain-dead and cheap.

Don't actually know or care about Chunky - just a jokey aside.

Marshalls was one of the ones I was talking about that dragged us down, was a ridiculous decision along with Wilsons though we probably get away with plenty for Williams last season

Details about Chunky???

I cannot provide details thereof.

Which amongst my fellow supporters can?

An apology for what? You are the one who needs to apologise. I have been a member of Scarlets for years. I did tell you when you private messaged me, a year or two ago. So hardly a stalker, and I usually only post on matters relating to Ulster. What's with the 'multiple IDs nonsense? I don't have multiple IDs on any forum.
I really don't know what upset you about that post. Got your panties in a bit of a twist over nothing, or maybe it's your time of the month.

ID No.1 Munchikin
ID No.2 Pilgrim

Not exactly rocket science to work on that more than one is multiple now is it, but hey-ho.

Pilgrim (aka ID No.2) wrote:It was last season. Don't think it was a large number. You would no better, I suppose, as you posted the stats on another site last year. Not doing it this year?

To track down one of my comments elsewhere to WUM is pretty stalker-eque. If you wanted to comment on this thread, then why not come on here an comment on it? I am not surprised to see you retract you comment, or apologies for being wrong (after all the facts are tight there in this thread), all the posts I have put on here this season etc, as that is not really your style is it. Far better to just reel out the tried and tested 'tongue in cheek' insults.

And is a thread titled 'Referee for Saturday v Munster' on a Scarlets fans forum is a regular place to find Ulster related topics then? It's not exactly where I would look to for Ulster related threads.

I have three different names on four different sites. Munchkin (here), Pilgrim (ScarletsFever) and Munch (Planet Rugby, and MunsterFans), and not for any dastardly reason, other than I like to use different names, you mad conspiracy theorist.

I didn't track down your comment. I regularly read Scarlets to see what's happening with the team, and thoughts of the fans. I rarely comment on it, other than to respond to comments on Ulster, or PRO12, and responded to your comment about the FairPlay League, and Ulster. I rarely comment on any of your posts, and it's usually you that first responds to something I have posted. Most of my discussions on that site have been with KID A, and the last discussion was with both himself and you, over a year ago. A good natured discussion.

How dare I check out a ref discussion on the Munster v Scarlets thread! Get over yourself. I was interested in reading your (Scarlets fans) thoughts on Owens reffing the game, and it was another Ulster supporter you were responding to, with your little dig about Ulster being bottom of the pile last season. I took it as tongue in cheek, and responded in kind.

You're a bit precious, Precious

Not sure where there is any conspiracy theory in calling someone who like to post under numerous names a "coward hiding in the shadows".

So you rarely post on there, other than to continue arguments with posters from on here?  I may be a bit off base here, but if someone only responds to posts from specific individuals, and ones that they have a history of butting heads with elsewhere, then that is pretty stalkery.

Fair enough, I miss read what you said in your last post. Though you said that you only read topics that involve Ulster, but you said you only post on topics that involve Ulster.

I assumed you must have thought that Gollum, as you seem to have a bit of a habit of trying to talk about my underwear and how I feel. Again, ever so slightly stalkery xxxx

I've never talked about your underwear, but for the 'getting your panties in a twist' comment. How can that be a habit, or stalkery? You're a strange one. Maybe it's you that has a fixation on underpants. After all, you do seem obsessed with Marvel comics.

No, I've chatted with a few posters on Scarlets. Mostly good folk. I didn't know KID A was Chunky until you told me a couple of years ago.

No, I said that I usually only respond to comments about Ulster, and that's usually when we face each other, but I do read threads just to find out what's happening with players, and thoughts about games, especially games like Munster v Scarlets, that could decide the top 4 spot for Ulster...

Anyway, I will give you the last word. Couldn't be bothered with this bitching at each other.

Wow, you guys are great craic

Shouldn't mention craic around Scarlet, he may get the wrong idea and think you are talking about his body

Never thought I would be debating underpants on a rugby forum, but on reflection it's pretty funny

Pressure of tomorrows games must be getting to some

Forums will be some fun tomorrow.
