FRU

Issue 43			15 January 2007

STOP PRESS Late last night the FRU was contacted by the FBI and asked to publish the following Statement. "After reading the content of various messageboards associated with the game of Rugby Union in Ulster we have decided to reopen our investigations into the fatal shooting of President John F Kennedy. There would now appear to be sufficient evidence - albeit of a hearsay nature – to indict three individuals who may have been involved, namely Mark McCall, Alan Clarke and suspected conspirator in chief, Michael Reid". In a similar vein the FRU was also contacted by Interpol who are poised to reopen inquiries into the shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914. The chief suspect in this instance is Adam Larkin. In Tomorrow's Super Soaraway FRU - Osama Bin Laden is innocent! (It was Mark Bartholeusz!)
Osama?		Mark?

Ulster 11 Llanelli 35
Short one this week due severe depression. What can be said about Saturdays game that hasn't been said? Very poor performance all round. Basic skills poor, Llanelli wanted it more. No-one stood up to be counted. Had enough opportunities but didn't believe in themselves enough to take them. Poor decisions at key times. Forwards ligging about in the backs too much, not clearing out rucks or taking the ball at pace. Too many turnovers. Popham should have been sorted! Well that's about it. Looking forward to an improved performance next Sunday. Nearly didn't give a FRU Man of the Match but on reflection I guess Tommy Bowe deserves something! Thanks to Colinh for the excellent photo.			The FRU Man of the Match goes to Tommy Bowe. More match pictures here

INTISTA Predictions League Week 18
			Crowd shocked that Kimble doesn't score maximum points! (Did he score with Ultimate Ulster Chick?) He does however remain 12 points clear. Hound and Stormin Norm move into second place due to another poor showing from Grumps. Men of the round Ardmhic and Tighty score a creditable 11 bearing in mind Ulster's result and the Ospreys / Stade draw. Don't forget to get your predictions in early this week if you are heading off for Toulouse.

HOUNDS OF ULSTER AGM 2007
The Hounds of Ulster will be holding their AGM in the southwestern French city of Toulouse on the weekend of Friday 19th January 2007. This will also coincide with the Hounds of Ulster's 4th Anniversary celebrations, as we were officially established in January 2003 in Cardiff during the weekend of the Cardiff v Ulster Heineken Cup Match. Attendance by all Hounds is compulsory. Those who cannot attend should send their letters explaining their reasons for non-attendance to the General Council. Only valid excuses such as impending death or recent fatherhood will be accepted. *‘Wife Wears the Trousers Syndrome’* or *‘WWTS’* will not cut it with the Council! Hound Onion need not apply, as he was cast out from the Hounds during the weekend of the away London Irish match. Most Hounds were shocked to see Hound Onion on said weekend as his attendance of late has been non-existent. However, we were all glad to welcome him back to the fold. Unfortunately, this gladness was short lived as Hound Onion passed up the opportunity for a day with his fellow Hounds, and instead opted for corporate hospitality with the London Irish prawn sandwich brigade. We were all devastated and disgusted at his actions on the day, and all Hounds were in agreement with the Council’s decision to revoke his membership. This was a tough decision for the Council as Hound was one of our founding fathers.		Hound Onion leaving the Hounds to join the Plastic’s Prawn Sandwich Brigade! New Member’s of the Pups Of Ulster. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. “Ain’t Nothing But A” on the birth of their twin baby girls from all of the Hounds. We will wet their heads in Toulouse.
