    So it seems this season has one more transfer left in it.

    So please welcome to Zzippy as your new overlord Rugby forum mod. I'd say go gentle on him but sure were is the fun in that.

    However we are also losing the services of Clareman so I'd just like to thank him on everyone's behalf for all the work that he has put in over the last while.

    So let the games commence!!!!

    Big thanks to Clareman for all the help and volunteering his time here.

    Zzippy has promised to start supporting Leinster now, as is the Rugby Mod tradition.

    Thanks Clareman

    Zzippy is a great choice. Good to have a Mod from the West too!

    Was Mike McCarthy not enough for you monsters?

    Zzippy, you've made a rookie mistake coming aboard with 2 interpros coming up and the Pro12 playoffs likely to be similarly constituted. May god have mercy on your soul.

    Thanks Clareman!

    Good luck and welcome aboard Zzippy. Hope you're enjoying your coke and hookers this morning. :D

    Thanks Clareman.....and thanks to all of the mods for keeping us all in line - it's good of you to volunteer and your efforts are appreciated. Good luck Zzippy - brave to take on this role at the sharp end of the season!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Sorry lads, just surfacing after the morning spent enjoying coke and hookers travelling to Dublin and back.
    Mucho gracias to Clareman, big shoes to fill, and hopefully I won't have to spend too much time refereeing in here, it's much more fun shouting "ah ref" at the Sportsground.
    I would also like to confirm that contrary to rumours, my allegiance to Connacht is still firm. Not like something else after this morning... ;)

    Hmm, a likely story.... Definite food for the rumour thread. Suppose you were just fishing for a better deal with your agent. :rolleyes:

    awec is also still in denial, reckons he's an Ulster fan, but now he's living in D4 and I saw him ordering a frappe mocha yesterday with shades on and it wasn't even sunny out.


  • Administrators Posts: 54,424 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Don't even know what a frappe mocha is. :cool:

    Sexton is better than ROG ever was. Discuss.

    OK, correct me if I'm wrong but is that mods

    Leinster 3 (.ak, justsomebloke, RuggieBear)
    Ulster 1 (awec)
    Connacht 1 (Zzippy)

    I mean Munster might actually have a genuine reason to be aggrieved here...Clareman: What Have You Done??


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    Best of luck Zzippy, they aren't the worst bunch around here and the rest of the mods are an alright sort as well.

    I think those numbers nicely reflect the national team so they're all good by me :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,264 ✭✭✭✭Fireball07


    Cheers Clareman for a great job done, but we will miss your representation, we are now a minority group :(



    But congrats Zzippy, best of luck! :)

    No project player mods, though, as far as I can tell.

    Are you declaring an interest Swiwi?

    Good man Zippy. We'll take it easy on you in the next few weeks so.....


    ....only kidding. We've inter pros coming up. Time to throw out the rule book!

    Not at all. I've been offered a better deal in Switzerland of all places. Not a major rugby nation yet, but I have been hired to change that. And I have Swiss citizenship so instantly eligible. It's a country that tends to rigidly follow the laws of the game it has to be said, though. And their forum lacks humour. But all the wee factions get on like a dream, almost as if they were neutral. They don't really needs mods come to think of it, so it should be a cushy number.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Good pick but you must be mad :p. that will probably help in this job :D

    Sorry to see you go Clareman, decent and fair operator.

    Well done mate, nice to have a fellow Connacht man lording over us keeping things nice around here. Promise me immunity and I will buy you a pint in the clan i swears

    with the chiefs in the process of becoming Connacht's sub-academy I'm pretty sure Zippy will be fine for all you ex-pats :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    Sure everyone knows that Connacht Connaught is just a resting place for good mods before they move onto better things..........


    (ducks before he gets banned)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,822 ✭✭✭Morf


    Connaught deserves a development mod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Careful now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,822 ✭✭✭Morf




    Of course all the mods have . . .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    No Munster mod yet? Typical anti-Munster bias
