If Ryan was mocking the supporters just how insulting is that to
those who did turn up. As I said on another thread get real for the
love of God things are tough and getting tougher people need to be
careful with their money. Leinster Ulster only had a few more than
us.
If he was mocking I feel he should apologise or bugger off
I am one of the 5 clowns woo hoo

season. Only du Preez, Varley and Leamy have played
more rugby in the forwards than him. He's also been very
good for the most part.
It seems if Ryan did clap the terrace, he was clapping the
guys in charge of the large flags.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Every plan I have is the best plan in the room. Everybody get quiet and listen to it, and everybody will win
Banners were a tad embarassing to see. 16th man and Red Army are not very appropriate when ive seen more people inthe chipper of a Saturday than at TP tother evening.
Of course i say this but i didnt bother my bollix going which makes me part of the problem. A confessed blow in losing interest rapidly. Will go in 2 wks time though just in case they win. Could be a great evening if they do.
Heres hoping (rather than expecting)
Anne Frank exaggerated alot and was a liar
I agree Joey he has been very good for a lot of this season, and think your explanation for the clapping is probably bang on.
...in what way will you feel more Irish if you force me to give up my feeling of being British? - David Ervine
Well Rob said he was in the terrace with the flags so it's likely
Ryan was thanking them for the effort.

Exactly, Joey.
As for Matt Williams, his record is hardly one to permit him to
comment on anyone's loyalty. About the best that can be said for him
is that he's usually sacked before he runs. He's a coach whose record
as such has made him unemployable as anything other than a poor
man's Neil Francis.

Agree, Ryan would not go out to 'mock supporters' some people need to get a grip.

There's a reason why Mattie is the default poll option on this site ...
Was on West Terrace (North). I thought that D Ryan was really up for it trying to urge his fellow players and trying to keep the crowd going. Indeed I wished one or two of the players had his attitude!
I think some of the posters are taking poetic licence in saying that he was mocking the supporters! I watched him before a number of lineouts being quite animated talking to the est of the forwards and acknowledging the supporters and their role
Listening to Williams now, don't think Williams is saying

anything too far off the truth tbh. Btw, he didn't even
mention Ryan.

Newsflash. Many people view the ML play-offs as joke shop meaningless bulls**t. I was at the game, but I really wasn't up for it. I may not make the final, as I can't afford to buy my ticket this week. I'm not even close to bothered about missing it if it comes to that.
I've been at every home game this season and make no apology for not being overly bothered for these play-offs which are just made for tv and cash generation.

If you’re fat stay in the ruck - Liam Toland
I disagree, I find his analysis to be far more insightful than Neil Francis', he's got a healthy respect for what Munster achieved when he was in charge of Leinster and you can tell he really loves the game and respects what we did in the time he was around.
I quite like Williams too, think his analysis is usually spot on but it is worth noting that this was the 5th</span> time</span> we played the O's this season, something not mentioned on Off The Ball last night
Hip Flasks at the ready, double for a Stringer ankle tap!
Yeah Williams is alright in my book too
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat
Key words in that sentence - Hugh Farrelly article. Pravda for the
Leinsters, scorn and contempt for us. Even the usually supine and gutless
IRFU would not countenance yet another incoming three-quarter at
Leinster, after Carr, and with masses of young lads already there, would
they?

The same sort of loyalty Matt Williams showed to Ulster? And Matt may have loyalty issues outside of rugby if some of the rumours from his time at Ulster are to be believed.
there's a reason Matt Williams is an option on every decent poll round here.

I'm sure it is only a matter of time before canes are banned.
me too. alot of time for matt Williams- expl;ains things well, has unique insights, and has a bit of craic too. If only we could finally get round to dragging that embarassing sub-moronic stuttering pr**k halfwit Nugent from Fortress D4 job centre, and his laughable position as head of RTE sport, we could put Mattie in his place instead. Whatever about his coaching record, he's a great pundit, and hands down the best rugby pundit on Irish radio and television.I disagree, I find his analysis to be far more insightful than Neil Francis', he's got a healthy respect for what Munster achieved when he was in charge of Leinster and you can tell he really loves the game and respects what we did in the time he was around.
That'd be my opinion of him as well. He's done the coach's job at the highest level [internationally for the Sweaties] and it's rare that you have those guys as pundits or analysts. For name recognition's value a lot of players are used, but I'd always be far more interested in having coaches as pundits rather than players.me too. alot of time for matt Williams- expl;ains things well, has unique insights, and has a bit of craic too.

As for his record - fair enough, he hasn't always been the most successful, but coaching careers are more or less like political careers: they all end in failure. He's coached the Waratahs, Leinster, Ulster and Scotland – all big teams.
He also knows how the relationships between playing staff, coaching staff, paid administrators and volunteer committee members [the shorts, the tracksuits, the suits and the blazers] work in Ireland, which gives him a hell of a lot of deep background on which to base his opinions.
The other guy to look out for is Dean Ryan [ex-Gloucester coach] who to my mind is absolutely miles ahead of anybody analysing rugby on television. He's a guy who brings international experience plus very-high level coaching experience to the table, and is a very lucid thinker and a fluent communicator. I shut the f*ck up when he comes on the box!
Agree re. Ryan & Williams. Two of the very best analysts out
there.
