The fückers didn’t remove mine, I’d have done time for the båstard who tried. I attached it nowhere, raised it at appropriate times and on my way out gave it into the ticket office along with my season ticket for Slogan. All utterly futile of course. Those of you thinking the crowd was any different than a normal game are kidding yourself and Rory got what he and the team wanted, the fans to stick with the team.damianmcr wrote:Eventsec removed jerseys and banners.Tender wrote:Was there a protest?

I have all of this season’s games recorded and the huge gaps in evidence tonight, have not been equalled all season. Loved the BBC’s low angled crowd scenes in a futile attempt to hide the clearly visible crash barriers. I think I could pick out a group of two couples having a picnic on the prom and those kids playing with the frisbee in Shane Logan’s Mem Stand could have had someone’s eye out.
I’m proud of those who did the right thing and stayed away in such numbers. Our Wee poll was broadly representative of what unfolded.
FOSL
Everything confirmed what I’ve always known, we are small in number, as indeed are URSC. Here we can’t agree on how best to attack the curse of Slogan so what message gets out from a gang of serial whingers? None, none whatsoever, it was what the enemy expected, business as usual.
I also had it confirmed by a second source, who is unimpeachable, that it’s not just Slogan lies, the entire FIRFU lies, there was no review for the boys in Dublin. They walked in sat down and Spring simply said “there will be a press release on Saturday morning at 11am announcing that your contracts have been cancelled. We will pay up your contracts but you if fight this in the courts the offer will be withdrawn and we have more money for a legal fight.” With that he picked up his papers and walked out.
There was no review, there was just an execution, 12 million from Bank of Ireland or 2 players and Nordies at that. Nothing to discuss.
Money not morals
Oh yeah, and Terry Slogan is an utter liar, he had at most an incredibly minor part in the whole episode, this was the FIRFU Head Office dictating to a mere sub-office. It went as Slogan wanted, but that is tangential and more or less irrelevant, money decides, sure it’s the way of the world, thinking anything else is moronic.
