OK let's simplify the whole thing, would someone please ask him:

1) Are you disappointed that Cardiff couldn't complete the 3 year contract?
2) Did he recommend Gloucester to BBJ having checked out the shopping?
3) When is he leaving?
4) Does he feel losing 8 league matches in such a lopsided two tiered league is acceptable?
5) Assuming he agrees with the whole of Ulster that 8 losses, some plain embarrassing amongst them, is indeed unacceptable, does he believe he should be summarily dismissed or should he be allowed to screw up again next year?
6) (only to be asked if the previous 5 have been) how are you enjoying the night?

Oh & if anyone can be bothered

7) Do you hate Gingers?

Thanks guys & good luck.

Knight - Everything changes and yet remains the same. I agree with what you've said, yet exactly the same criticism was levelled in 99 after Harry Williams retired, and again in 2005/06 season when we won the Celtic League

Just to be clear - that was just reflection, not me coming out in support of MA. He hasn't delivered, as better than me have pointed out. He can trot on as soon as

Yip, each tenure as a coach, like every political career ends in failure. Even the immovable Guy Noves could well be ousted.

Working tomorrow night so can't make it. Could someone take a few notes and report back.

Will anyone have the cojones to ask some of the above questions?

Context of pitch being crap? Blamed in terms of some of the injuries we've picked up?

Easy to sort, give Payne a boot up the hole and tell him who pays the wages and he will play where he is told, let the grass grow longer as it is a natural draining pitch so needs longer grass to hold the root zone and use more water through transpiration, feed the supporters more beer and they will be even better.

Trying to think which players have actually been injured at Ravenhill that could have been a result of the pitch and the only one I can think is possibly Callum Black ?

Anyone who has watched Payne over the past 2 seasons know he is a better 15 than 13. We have lots of options at 13 that are better (Cave, Bowe, Olding) all IQ.
