Just sayin'   

P.S Is the match available on BBC Nordie Ireland?

so big match eh....

ah whats the point - I'm only pretending to care


I'm going to bin my ulster shirt and switch over to Corrie.

OK, panic over...I have it!

Hard luck, Tommy! He's certainly getting stuck in to the action from the word 'go'

That's what I like to see...Tommy getting stuck in...   

Now that's what I like to see...an Ulster try!

Very well executed it was too...hope Tommy gets a special one in

Well, you know we call him Tommy Two Tries!

Good try. Never mind the forward pass.

That wasn't a backward forward pass Lucky...!  

Hope Marshall's OK.

Everytime I see Sparky, I want to punch him.

Mark Hughes?

Damn one culchie down!

Don't worry Rodders.

Lucky is here to keep up the "moan" quota!

  

How's about ya Lucky buddy?

 

Very good start by Ulster and go on Tommy on your return

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

That's ma boy!   

Is Paddy taking the kicks a Schmidt idea?

I'm grand thanks, MrsP. That was a great line from Tommy Bowe. Poor defence though.

Evening Nelly!

Oh yes, where TTTs goes, I will follow...

So pleased he's scoring...even though that one looked a bit too easy...

Wow! Tommy going like a train.

Dear me, just copped a view of the ref - he looks like he's wearing a bad wig.

I think there might be some hairspray involved, Cari!

Looks like a DIY peroxide job, Cari

This is chuffing ominous...

Thats the bonus point already folks

Just tuned in to see the 4th try.

Are Ulster that good or dragons that bad?

Whose gone off for mcclusky?

Marshall went off and McClusky came on.

O's up against Edinburgh already too!

Lukey M.

This is going to be a long night for the Dragons

On this performance, both.

Feared for this game before the off coming true am afraid.

Tommy Bowe is that good, dragons are bamboozled by his greatness.

How much did the annoncement of the coach leaving disrupt the Dragons?

I think the ref has found some of the mystical peroxide we tried to destroy after it went through the Ulster squad like a virus a few years back, I think we all remember the Wallace attempt

Actually the ref reminded me of Michael Palin in The Life of Brian when he's doing the camp centurion at the crucifixtion...

Cheers cari, looks serious?

Bowe looks in good shape

I was wondering that. Bit sudden wasn't it?

It looked like he took a kick to the head. Understandably they were pretty cautious but he walked off with help.

Jaysus of all people to get another head injury.

Marshall seemed in good spirits considering he was coming off with a potential injury, and he was walking up and about, so that's something positive.

Tommy looks like he's his old self.  I hope he doesn't play for Ireland to be honest (as bad as that sounds).
