Hmmm, please tell me their travelling support weren’t allowed at the match?
They were allowed in.
I wonder who the threatened legal action would have been against if they had been refused? Surely the fact that the eprc moved the game then ulster would have no liability against claims from LR fans. Maybe the threat was enough to roll over and get our bellies tickled.

I think we should call for a public inquiry into this omnishambles.

Tis the Ulster way, after all.

Will take ten years to be granted, another 5 to gather evidence, 5 more for the appointed Judge to come to his conclusions and write report, another 3 years while it's decided if it can be published in full, or partially redacted to protect the guilty, 5 more years of legal action while one side insists on full publication, and others calling for it to be suppressed for another 30 years.

After all that, we reject the findings and take another 10 years of legal action and threats until another public inquiry is promised. That will be followed by 8 years of wrangling over the remit of the inquiry, and why the first one was flawed. While that will never be fully ascertained, another 5 years will be taken up with 4 people agreeing in turn to conduct the inquiry before resigning for some obscure reason, (one of who will be Shane Logan who , according to his CV, was "called to the bar" during his time at Ulster, and who now claims this makes him an expert not only in law but peoples' rights to drink responsibly.

Finally after a further 20 years the report will be published with 3 people standing outside the Supreme court in London claiming vindication and that Ulster should now be named as Heiny Champions 2023.

LAR who actually were crowned champions that year start their own legal action to have that overturned, finally winning their action after another 30 years, by which time . . . . what was the question in the first place? :scratch:

Pedantry alert, the dish only has one 'e' - it doesn't have an 'e' at the end.


But when you wrote "Logan IN", I knew you were either drunk or attempting humour to comfort us in our pain.

Very good. Sounds about right although lacking the detail of the legal costs and how much the lawyers make. :roll:

Wasn't sure how many repeats - although I'm pretty certain 3 ain't enough.
