No the 41 will be full/development contracts - plus another 20 or so in the full academy. 41 is an interesting number, if that's what we're working towards.

Were you jumping around like a madman, appealing for lbw?
I used to keep wicket and put a disc out appealing for a catch. Bloody umpire was laughing so much he forgot to give it out.

Name them, you will be naming the academy plus the remaining rump of the contracted players.Columbo wrote:No the 41 will be full/development contracts - plus another 20 or so in the full academy. 41 is an interesting number, if that's what we're working towards.

Oh and another thing ................. if your maths tells you that we will have 38 players for next season close to full contract or development who have actually pulled on a shirt for Ulster .............your full of hobbyhorse's shyte. If you are including every player who has some sort of contract, yeah you'll probably just about get there.
Go ahead, I can't wait. But at the top of your list, please put a health warning, we wouldn't want Fleg being carted off to the funny farm when he sees how threadbare we are to be next year, nor Ron'n to shake off his mortal coil and join the bleedin' choir celestial after a calamitous infarction.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Tried to get to the pitch, failed, spooned it up in the air and collapsed in a heap.
Dunno if anyone caught it or not!
Think that’s me done.

One feared he was only a knock away from the inevitable. Sad news for a player who promised much, had the creativity coached out of him and turned into a battering ram hastening his demise.
