  1. DTH moving to Scarlett's at the end of the season. Strange move I think, seems a backward step for him.
  2. Regardless of how this game finishes Glasgow have played much better than I had expected going in to this.
  3. Great news. Looking forward to the game on Sunday. Montpellier are out of the running so hopefully bring a bit of a shadow squad and Glasgow get a bonus point win. Would expect Toulouse to beat Bath.
  4. Is this the non try by niko after the high around the neck tackle on I think it was DTH? Clancy was a joke all game long.
  5. Really looking forward to tomorrow's game, Glasgow back on track after last weeks win and Edinburgh in a good run of form on the back of 3 straight wins. Still expect Glasgow to turn them over but should be a good game.
  6. I think there's one more season of it being filmed then that's it.
  7. Less than 350 left by the last email i got from them. Gutted to be missing it, going to Norway tomorrow with work! This game, the following week against Munster and the Edinburgh tie will shape the rest of the season. I'd expect Glasgow to beat Edinburgh, the other two are 50/50 depending on what Munster side shows up at Scotstoun.
  8. I'm pleased there hasn't been a 4th autumn test. Glasgow have struggled during November with so many players on international duty.
  9. So it'll be similar to the rogers deal for wee network in Canada then. You'll get limited content on the channel, not the same level of access to matches like the us version and you'll still have to pay sky for ppv? Who'd want to buy in to that when they can keep their US subscription via VPN.
  10. Agree with the comments on laidlaw. Cusiter should when fit be first choice at 9 with Pyrgos the preferred option from the bench.
  11. I think the money could be better spent elsewhere. Put towards the academy system the sru are developing or additional funding for Glasgow and Edinburgh. Think it's something like 4 million a year between sport Scotland and the sru spent on 7s.
  12. Strauss is eligible for Scotland the day the world cup kicks off. They should involve him in the squads around the six nations, although not available to play it would make sense to have him involved in training/routines.
  13. How well are Cusiter and Laidlaw playing in England? Are they both seeing much in the way of game time? I thought Cusiter would be a big loss for Glasgow this season but Pyrgos is doing a great job at filling his boots so far. 9 & 10 pairing of Pyrgos and Weir for the AI tests?
  14. Should be a cracking game today between Glasgow and Bath, both had a good run of wins before losing last week. Scotstoun pretty close to a sell out for it also.
  15. Two big games coming up next, Ulster away then the european tie at Scotstoun against Bath who are on fire at the moment. Glasgow have been getting the results without getting out of 3rd gear in games. Will need to step up their game in the next couple of weekends then hope players come back from the Autumn tests with few injury worries.
  16. I applied for Scotland v Japan and the game against Samoa. Apparently the Pro 12 will continue during the World Cup, seems a bit harsh more specifically on Glasgow as they will be decimated by call ups for the World Cup.
  17. Solid if unspectacular win tonight. Look forward to seeing Hoggs second try along with DTH's and Bennett's interception for his run in from over halfway. With so many changes and Connacht having started the season so well the win was all that mattered. Decent crowd also 5800, they'll need to stick up that other temporary stand soon.
  18. It's supposed to be there until December then it's being swapped out for temporary seating.
  19. I wouldn't say Glasgow are punching above expectation. Year on year they have improved, league position shows that 4th, 3rd, 2nd. I'd say they are exactly where they should be, expected to finish in the top 2 or 3 come the seasons end. A good mix of Scottish or scots qualified players and the Fijians have worked well for them. The move to scotstoun also helped galvanise the whole club, a proper home base rather than sharing with Thistle as they had been. Edinburgh need gutting out from top to bottom. A move from murrayfield wouldn't do them any harm either.
  20. Pyrgos is steady at scrum half, bit more balanced and predictable than Niko. I think Glasgow need that, they had it with Cusiter and in time I think Pyrgos will improve to become as good as Cusiter was for Glasgow. Edinburgh have become a joke, stuffed with Southern Hemisphere journeymen. Solomans all last season blamed poor performances on the lack of time pre season with the squad and not having the right players. This is his squad now. The SRU need to correct what's going on there, both pro sides are supposed to groom players for the step up to international level. Edinburgh only had 5 scots born players in yesterday's squad. Currently nobody from Edinburgh would get a game for Glasgow or should they get a starting spot for Scotland.
  21. Edinburgh smashed to bits today by the Ospreys. 62-13! Embarrassing stuff from them.
  22. I applied for the games against Japan and Samoa. Cat c tickets for both games, Can't justify paying more than that for those games! Also around that time would be renewing or have already renewed the season ticket for Glasgow and more than likely the Scotland pass for Murrayfield.
  23. Great win away yesterday for Glasgow, two of the tougher fixtures to kick off the campaign and two wins so no complaints. Pyrgos seems to be a good steady scrum half and i'm sure he'll improve with increased game time. Applied for some world cup tickets, disappointed with some of the pricing. Top band pricing for the game against South Africa is £175, thats almost as much as my season ticket at scotstoun!
  24. I thought they just went on general release in September. Do you register through the SRU?
  25. Impact is moving to Wednesday nights. Good move for TNA? Also no mention if it's part of a new/revised tv deal.
