Fife has looked out of sorts for a while, letting the ball bounce a lot. Not sure why Brown has become a winger and he has become a fullback?


Maybe this is part of the problem with Fife, yeah he can play fullback, but didnt really see the point of playing him there yesterday when Brown was on the field. I also think another issue is that they're not actually getting enough game time, only getting pulled in when the "first choice" players are out.. maybe a bit more of an even spread would benefit further..

You've changed your tune a bit....You literally said you'd have won if the referee had done a better job earlier in this thread.

Reading comprehension and logic fail.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

I don’t think anyone is arguing the quality of offcials is good enough, but we also don’t think there is some sort of conspiracy against us. It’s interesting the stats for Owens show Munster don’t a actually win more games than normal with him reffing. It’s almost like perception and reality are often different!


:lol: :lol: Making stuff up again. Not unexpected. :lol: :lol:


But it is - the Glasgow form has threads about referees, game threads are full of referee chat and the referee chat is very anti Irish.

You'll find none of that here. Just annoyance at the worst refereeing performance going. Feel free to check a few threads back and there's none (or very little) anti ref nonsense v

Didn’t see game so can’t comment on the match.

However that is now the 3 lowest ranked teams we have lost away to which is concerning, on paper that was a stronger team than we have fielded in some matches so disappointing that they failed to deliver, it perhaps suggests there is still work to do on the mental conditioning side of the players.

I wonder if there is starting to be an element of 1st XV and the rest and if some of those playing on Friday know they are not going to be here next year, we are clearly struggling for quality of depth and the likes of Dell moving on will presumably see budget used to strengthen elsewhere.

I think it is far too early to be dismissing Taylor as not good enough he has had a handful of appearances amongst a largely 2nd string selection. I am not convinced that moving JJ to the wing to accommodate him at 13 was necessary, Taylor has played wing in the past and that would have kept Dean and JJ in the centre which has been pretty effective of late.

I don’t think it is time to panic we are still 3rd in conference and after a decent run of form that result should serve to remind the team they are nowhere near the finished article. The next couple of home matches during the 6N are absolutely must win now though.

The three week break (at least for the non international squad players) has come not a moment too soon. Hopefully at the end of it all or some of Bradbury,Scott and Hamilton -if not more-will be fit to resume and boost the squad.
Suddenly the Dragons and Cardiff matches become "must wins"-the Cardiff fixture will be extremely tough as they won't lose many to the 6N and are a tough propostion this season.After that Benetton away is massive (and a "double pointer" given the teams are neck and neck just now in the table.Then straight after 6N the Leinster fixture at home may come down to what sort of team either side is prepared to put out.Being the week before the Heineken QF I imagine Leinster will play their 2nds-who of course are still very strong-but Cockerill will need to decide if he rests all those involved in the 6N for the Munster game or risks a couple of them to strengthen our hand.
Maybe too much for a Monday morning and lets just take it one game at a time when Pro 14 resumes-it really can be tough being a supporter thinking about all this..!

Right.....someone saying they'd have won if the ref penalized the continuous infringing isn't the same as saying they'd have won if the ref had done his job. That's a stretch even for you Biffer! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What nonsense. I see just as much chat about he referee on here. This thread is absolutely full of it. What I see you lot disliking is the total fiction that you lot don't complain about the referee pretty spectacular falling apart. It's hilarious! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Almost as funny as the game! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This guy is posting on here for one reason only, he thinks Edinburgh fans spoiled the Glasgow forum by pulling up him and others when they posted ill-informed nonsense, often in the run up to the 1872 games

He now wants to get under people’s skins here, he can only do that if you let him by responding to his posts.

He will see this post as some kind of irony but frankly I don’t care and it’s the last time I’m going to refer to him. Let him rant away to himself, he’s deliberately trying to wind you up, the real definition of an internet troll is not someone who disagrees with a majority view on a blog or forum, it is someone who deliberately tries to disrupt it, the old adage works, don’t feed the troll.

Try reading what I wrote instead of what you want to see. Both quotes are consistent in saying I think Edinburgh should have won regardless of the ref. The inference most people would take from that is that I blame Edinburgh for the loss, not the ref.
