What's the buzz with Felix Jones? I take it that he's not the ex-Dallas Cowboys running back? He's playing with Seapoint who came second in the Leinster...
There's a suggestion on xome of the Ulster message boards that Michael Essex may be offered a contract with us. Anyone know much about him? cheers stu ...
Hi Stuart If he is offered a contract then it is a recent happening. I know someone who is a friend of the family and (a month ago) they said that he was...
He found them last night, alright... unfortunately in the face of Mafi. He'll be lucky not to get a lengthy ban. Didn't see exactly what led to it though -...

Seems he took exception to the tackle that Mafi made on D'Arcy, but his reaction was nasty and petulant. How he avoided a red card is mystifying. You'd have to...
Well, the TJs and ref wouldn't listen to the Munster fans sitting around me, who were shouting at them to look at the big screen in the stadium - Setanta...

It was Whitaker who caught Mafi, not Sexton. Mafi then lashed out at the nearest blue shirt and got what he deserved. The first replay Setanta showed didn't...

No we don't, Steve. Sexton's boot did not make contact with Mafi. Mafi deserved a yellow for punching....
I have watched this again by replaying the incident as it occurred, not by the replay that Setanta kept showing. I believe that the incident took place prior...

I wasn't actually referring to official sanctions Peadar, it was the reaction from Sexton I was talking about. As for the yellow, I have no problem with that....
Myles Setanta showed the incident from the North Terrace camera angle and you can clearly see Sexton lashing out at Mafi with his boot, Mafi's head recoils...

It is clear that Sexton kicked out at Mafi. He has been cited, I am actually surprised that he is cited, the week that is in it. Glenn Production Planning ...
I guess that's why we have independent citing commissioners, Glenn - so that the surrounding circumstances don't prevent players from being taken to task. I...

I think you're right, Glenn, there was some loophole like that at the time. Sure, if the citing process does nothing else, it might vindicate Donal's take on...
