I’m away to huff eat a PPP. Maybe I’m just grumpy after a day of 3 & 4 year olds with more sass than I knew how to handle today πŸ˜‚

I’m finding it hard to get overly enthused about this signing yet - maybe it’s our lacklustre end to the season, or it’s the fact it’s a short term, maybe it just feels like sticking corks in a leaking barrel - I’m no everything is brill brigade but I’m just not there yet and it’s making me cross!

As I’ve mentioned before…. I reign in chaos πŸ˜‚

Why doesn’t that surprise me πŸ˜‚

Haha stop it - I’ve missed it! (But have enjoyed a PPP or two!)

Behave yourself. The correct answer here is a Joker!

I loved it so much until I got to AS Level but snuck the B and left it behind knowing it was enough to see me to university! Still it didn’t manage to put me off for life thankfully!

If you’d like a summary of life lately - it consists of a diet of this, sunshine and trying to make it to the end of term without having a breakdown…. The rugby breakdown has already happened and I’ve closed the door on the season.

I think that’s what happened in my school too - my teacher at A Level clearly loved a Louis and a guillotine. Me - not so much. And by the time we’d got to the Bay of Pigs unit - I’d lost interest.

This is fascinating - I was also a Belfast school attendee and we did do Irish history, famine in junior & we did Ireland to partition for GCSE and I found it so interesting - and then got to A Level and had to do Louis the whatever and the reign of terror and was raging! History was ditched!

I mean it’ll be me so I can go β€œaren’t we lucky?! We pay to be here to witness this <rubbish>!!”*insert me and Davy C sitting in -4 degrees and 14 layers*

It’s difficult. And then I had to tell my dad that the season ticket renewal came in this week. That’s gonna be a hard sell at the minute.

It’s taking every last bit of my willpower to find some tiny shreds of positivity about anything to do with us at the moment and how we play. I’m in my boots about us 😞😞

Some of those players are stealing a living currently. Major shake needed for this last push or we are getting our arses handed to us!

Did you know wingers are optional extras in an ulster team. Bloody terrified of moving out wide so let’s just do the same thing over and over and over again and give it up. Soft touches.

Poor Mount Stewart is really battered after Storm Eowyn in January but lots of in bloom daffs today made it feel like a touch of spring is creeping through!

I think that’s a given next season too

At this point Nick is a given in that respect!

Murphy and McNabney the two stand outs for me tonight certainly! Oh well… now to get home to warm up πŸ€ͺ

I mean people around me were talking about leaving at half time within the first 15 mins - that’s how despondent the mood was! πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

If by fine, you mean that significant periods of the match were spent muttering under your breath and wondering if we’d ever get anything right, then yes, we went fine. Nice to see us convert late pressure at the end and not capitulate as normal but still *plenty* to work on.

Awk fml he’s absolutely anonymous

Crowd is low and quiet, can’t see that changing any time soon

Jack doing well for me I think.

Aw flip sake it’s empty - like being at a match that means nothing.

I hate to be hard on him but he’s been poor so far - just looks too inexperienced for a day like today

People around me are literally talking about leaving at half time. What are we doing?!

Le sigh. Five whole minutes.
