Ask me about my son, or Rugby, or paranormal, or F1, & I can bore you to death 😊
Also we were at the Children's hospital yesterday (Luke has another bloody kidney stone 😭)

This is what someone had gone to the effort to change their WiFi name to 🙈😂

A new way of saying we don't ship to NI 🙈😅

Another reason I'm glad we're in the URC is I no longer have to listen to the TNT commentary.

Unlike most on here it seems, I'm not overly proud of the Irish team yesterday.

Yes they did well in the last 15mins or so with their defense, but what about the previous 65?

SFM undoubtedly should've had a card, but Ireland could've had more, especially with none awarded with a penalty try...

And Angus Bell scores again!
I cannot wait for him to come to Ulster!

I LOVE French rugby - usually I'd back them to win against anyone bar Ireland!

But I have so much newfound love for Australia since the Lions, and obviously Bell that I really really want them to win.

Ireland getting more cards in 1 half than I get for the whole of Christmas 🤦

Although I think SFM was very fortunate not to get 1 too!

And people called me dumb in the past when I've said Ryan is a liability 🤔
November 22, 2025 at 6:12 PM
I hope the game is even half as good as that opening!

I think this is a shit move by Ulster!

Us fans questioned loaning him out in the 1st place.
But they obviously felt he wasn't needed.

He goes & scores a hat-trick in his Newcastle debut & suddenly we need him again 🙄

Our Christmas limited edition bars are calling your name! Black Forest, Speculoos, or Mulled Wine. Which one will you unwrap first? We say skip the decision and try them all. 🍫🎄

Very good interview with Rory Best, explaining why he took the role of Ulster's general manager - 1st few minutes explain the business aspect that he feels he can bring (I'm still convinced he's a great signing 😊)

Gutted for him ☹️
Such bad luck for Stu: finally breaks into the starting XV, is playing well, but denied by injury. You'd imagine for the Boks it'll be Aki or Henshaw starting at 12 alongside Ringrose at 13.

It's interesting that when the Ireland A squad beat Spain I was told they were a Micky Mouse team (despite only being 1 place behind Japan)...

England A 29 - 25 Spain

😁

(I said last week that Spain had made a lot of progress & it's great to see!)

What a shit job for Tuipulotu there, having to come on & face the media & explain how you blew a 21 point lead 🙈
All in 1 half too.
November 16, 2025 at 5:13 PM
I am genuinely gobsmacked 😲
Argentina weren't in it at all until Carreras stepped onto the pitch!!

21 point lead 🙈🙈

Even being an Ulster fan doesn't hurt that much!

Jesus Scotland 🫣
YOU HAD A 21 POINT LEAD!!
November 16, 2025 at 4:49 PM
I'm not sure I've ever been as delighted for the Welsh to get a win 🙌👏👏
November 15, 2025 at 7:36 PM
@missilepanda.bsky.social you were correct!
Joey Carberry will be on the move again...
I wonder will Lancaster get his way & persuade him to move to windswept Connacht 🤔

Id say he'll either stay in France or go to somewhere like Newcastle?
November 14, 2025 at 7:26 PM
I don't know, I kinda have mixed feelings 🤔
Doris at 7 instead of 8?
McCarthy is a big call.
I hope Lowe has found form again. & Aki.
Great to see McCloskey starting.
Hope Timoney gets a chance off the bench.
I think Hansen at 15 is a good shout.
& I hope CP is the right starting choice.
Largely as predicted by Thornley but Paddy McCarthy starts: what a season he's having. Hansen at full back will be interesting to see. Hope Timoney and Cian get some decent time off the bench.

I just remembered today that we made Mars bar & apple sandwiches in home economics, many many years ago!

Did anyone else make them, or similar crap, or did our school just hate us? 🤔😂
November 12, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Ireland fans - do you really think Crowley or Prendergast are enough to be our fly half right now?

I think both have been great when they come on off the bench but I don't think either has been great when starting 😕

After watching Harry Byrne lately I really think he deserves a chance in the 23

Ok, so I'm no Mystic Meg 😂
But I do think there were a lot of positives for Wales to take from that game despite the defeat.
And hopefully Jac Morgan's injury isn't as bad as it looked as he's definitely the heartbeat of that team!
Call me crazy (hi crazy 👋), but I think Wales could get a win today... 🫣
