The Strange Case Of Dr David and Mr Ball.

After much research the FRU can reveal the extraordinary link between the Ulster and Ireland hero Dr David Humphreys and the black hearted scourge of the message board Dead Ball.

Are these two linked like Jekyll and Hyde? Is Dead Ball the evil that was left over when David was made? Are they inextricably linked in a bizarre pact between good and evil?

Let us examine the facts: -


Is Ball Evil David?

David is one of Ulster's greatest ever outhalfs - Dead Ball also calls himself a Big No. 10.

David retired from international rugby so he could have more time - Dead Ball now has more time and wants to return to the UAFC message board.

David is a qualified lawyer - Dead Ball is on a YTS scheme in a lawyers office.

David has moved to the Dromore area - Dead Ball has moved to the Dromore area.

David has traveled the world and met heads of state - Dead Ball has met Youngman and Cockatrice.

David is described as a gentleman and consummate professional by everyone he's met - Dead Ball is described as a moron and consummate arsehole by everyone he's insulted.

David exudes charisma and dignity - Dead Ball doesn't.

So there you have it, inconclusive proof that Dead Ball is the Evil Half of Dr David Humpherys. No wonder David's had to retire and put his feet up!

 

 

 

URSC Unveil Their New Advertising Campaign.

The FRU can reveal the URSC's new advertising campaigns for the forthcomming season.

Based on the larger than life committee member "General Prom" the campaign harks back to Ulster Rugby's golden eras of WWI and 1999.

Copying the famous Kitchener Recruitment Poster of WWI General Prom is looking to recruit troops to assist the committee in organising events and social occasions. This campaign is thought to be masterminded by Youngman Promotions ®™ and it is expected it will be launched at Club 33 later in the week.

The second campaign, devised by Kimble and Kimble, combines the jovial General with Ulster legend David Humphereys. In a careful reconstruction of the 1999 European Cup final Kimble and Kimble recreate the Cup presentation ceremony but put General Prom in place instead of Mark McCall. Humphreys is seen to shout "Join the URSC" instead of his now famous "You'll never win this O'Gara". It is believed that the fee paid to Humphreys allowed him to retire from international rugby.

So it looks like exciting times ahead with the URSC. Unfortunately they have blown all their budget for the next three seasons so they won't in fact be able to hold any events.

TOUGH AT THE TOP

IS B.Y.O. STARTING TO HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING ON THE COMMITTEE?

FIRST OF ALL HE IS IGNORED FOR THE URSC ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN AND THEN HE GOES AND MAKES A BIT OF A BO-BO OVER ON ONE OF THE THREADS ON THE UAFC MESSAGE BOARD.

WILL HE BE ABLE TO SURVIVE A FULL YEAR?

ONE THINGS FOR SURE HE LOOKS LIKE A WORRIED MAN ALREADY!
