It's the beards. Very confusing for the easily confused. They should either make Pitman shave it off, or even more sensible, dye it a nice fashionable bright colour. Problem solved.

Dye it ginger, and start wearing a scrum cap maybe?

Ulster........................ niggle?   Never!!! - Marching Season, Bands, Parades, Flags, Round Tables, American Emissaries, Walks Outs, Sit Ins, Down with that, Up yours.............????  I think you're sullying the good name of Ulster by tickling them with the 'niggle' taunt.

To hell with these comments, I'm going to stage a walk out protest march seminar in protest about these comments which I find deeply offensive simply because I want to find them offensive. I'll prove Ulstermen are not niggly.

That's it Pete. Stand up for your reputation!

All Irish sides are terrible cheats to be honest, it's known world over. The only reasons we get away with it is the IRBs favourable tax conditions in Dublin and all the referees we produce...even one's that pretend to be scottish like Patterson.

If Wales had a few more tax loopholes they'd be unstoppable.

It must be a Northern Irish thing, I was watching a documentary about the great Alex hurricane Higgins last night, and boy did he like to upset people, that man was a genius with a snooker cue, it's just his inability to not show boat that held him back, oh that and the drinking and gambling.

Nobody turned up to my march.......

I protested alone for my right to feel offended when I please.

I hope I'm not being too niggly, Pete but since you didn't specify a place or time for the march, it was hard to show much solidarity. I thought where can I find Pete? - so I went to the nearest bog at 3:30.

It so happened Stevie Ferris was there so I said, "Bout ye big Lawd, hows the niggles?" He wasn't massively amused, so as I pelted out the door I shouted that he could track me down online on this forum under the username Secret Fly. Thought that was the least offensive, most un-niggly way out.

So glad you agree.

Pete and GA, why not have the march at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday at say 4oclock
I'll follow the leader.
Oh forgot cann't make it Saturday

Don't worry, I don't think they allow free speech at the Liberty anyway.
