To be honest with you Dave I post there and the majority of it is no different to what you'd read here.
Some of the McIlroy/Olding/Jacko chat flies a bit close to the wind admittedly.
Lad culture in Southern Ireland is completely toxic though

That was all shut down on here pretty quickly. That forum and some of those posters are wide open, but I'm sure the mentioned players will never read it.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Dear Mr Logan,

With reference to your comments published in Ulster Business on the 17th January 2013, coincidentally four years next week can you please advise where you stand on the following.
"In the long term we want to be world class. We're maybe a bit ahead of where we thought we would be on most fronts, the stadium included, but compared to where we need to be strategically we're still short," said Logan.
Are we still ahead Shane? What was the strategy, cannot surely be following the same one? What failed and why?
The clubs and schools game is growing, maybe not as quickly as we'd like, but it is growing.
No Shane, no it's not, no new clubs have been founded and senior clubs that formerly fielded 4 or 5 teams now struggle to field 2. Please check the Ulster Branch fixtures website for matches conceded on a weekly basis as clubs cannot field. At the club elite level the game within Ulster is so weak we do not have one representative in AIL 1A, with Buccaneers (from Connacht traditionally the smallest and weakest province) top of 1B we will be the only province not represented in the top tier of Irish club rugby next year. Has this growth stopped?
"If our product isn't excellent, people won't want to watch it or sponsor it. So my biggest job is to ensure the professional team performs and performs in the long term," he said.
Four years on is our product now excellent?
The CEO estimates it could take "10 or 15 years" for Ulster to get where it wants to be in terms of that pool of players coming through to the high performance level.
Shane we are four years in, how far on are we? An honest answer please.
This isn't a job or a business, this is a cause.
Shane, that's very noble, you've had seven years as the CEO of the Ulster Rugby organisation. Whilst we have progressed off the pitch with the help of a government financial hand out and the selling of sponsorship rights I believe the largest accreditation you receive is an acknowledgement of your financial nous. Why then are the cupboards bare and we are looking at financial losses for the foreseeable?

Now I don't think you're a bad person but you've had your shot, you havn't done a terrible JOB, however, to be frank these statements to which you have failed to deliver on deeply sicken me.

For the sake of the CAUSE, please give someone the opportunity to turn this around before we slip further from where we should be.

The entire article can be read here if you have forgotten much of what you have said.

Ulster No 9... In relation to your comment on the current Ulster Domestic Club scene and its position within the wider Irish set up some years ago UR introduced a Club Excellence Program. It is designed to provide the clubs with the tools and professional mentorship to ensure that they improve both their business set up and produce better results. This included everything from the club positions within the community, to growing numbers, to how to improve financial footing...

It effectively is dead in the water with less than half dozen clubs approved and even one of them rides on the back of sharing facilities with a bigger club. Now that they have since been moved out they would have to lose that status..

To me this is systematic of what UR think about the Domestic Game..

As an aside I recall numbers from 27,000 to 35,000 being quoted by the CiC at various times as the numbers playing rugby. I cent se those numbers being correct and I understand that when challenged said CiC couldn't explain where the figures had even come from..

For the avoidance of doubt, I NEVER read other Irish Rugby forums, I don't wish to have to hate fellow countrymen - barring fu@king Mexicans of course.

If I wanted to be a whiny moany self-righteous gobshite with the utter dross of other provinces, that's where I'd look ...........but I don't. I occasionally looked elsewhere when I decided to absent myself here, but without exception I found the above to be the situation, arseholes thinking they are terribly funny legends.

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.
