Luck hasn't half been with France this tournament. Should be on zero wins.

I get what you're saying, but it would have taken some serious "mitigating" to get a full speed upright head-on-head down to a yellow.
Or a Scotsman being on the receiving end...
Maybe I'm just paranoid and jaded by the whole thing, but if I see O'Mahoney doing that in a few weeks to Russell I'm not even confident it'll be yellow.

Once again, P&B shows it knows more about the laws than Maggie Alphonsi
To be honest, nobody knows what's a fucking red anymore. I mean, if it had been an Italian on a French player, yeah. Other way round though, and it being Danty as well? Honestly wouldn't have shocked me to see it stay yellow.

Red given. Italy have a chance here.

What is it with Rugby refs being born in one country but being affiliated with another. Ridley was born in France FFS
I've met him before and he's so English he's almost a parody of englishness, he could star as the male lead in a shite American rom com where a ditzy New York writer comes to England to find herself. That's how English he is.

Parkhead, Ibrox, Pittodrie and Easter Road are definites, first three I barely go to to be fair, but been to ER plenty (seen a few draws tbf). I feel like I must have seen us win away to St Johnstone, but actually cannot think of an actual match so I think it's on the list too. Killie as well maybe.... Everywhere else in the prem I've seen a win, and have been to all grounds.
In the lower leagues, for grounds I've been to, think it's only Tannadice, ICT and Queens Park I suppose. I've seen us win at Hampden, just not against them. Oh, and East Kilbride as well!

I honestly think if we beat Italy then Ireland I'll be fucking sick. Imagine we beat Ireland now, after all those losses, then go and lose to them every game for the next ten years? So Scottish.

Jamie George seems like a good lad.
Why they are determined to make England seem unlucky I don’t know.
Still love the Cromarty coming out in Finn’s accent.
England are in that same position as Wales, where they aren't really ready to accept they aren't that good so any defeat that's even remotely tight they just pretend they won.

Hope the celebrations don't make Joe and the boys too sad.

Hes come up from the English depths (think 7th tier from memory) and is clearly desperate to impress, which i think leads to a lot of rash stuff.
I think theres a lot to gain from having him, but thats dependent on us not obliterating his confidence like we've done every other striker in the past few years.
I honestly thought he was ok today, considering the thankless task he had. Certainly gave Gogic a few scares and didn't get bullied. Thought Phillips and Considine were ok as well, but the setup is so negative, they didn't really look like there was a plan and it led to a lot of mistakes.
Thought we were ok, Mandron did well and was good to see after last week. Kiltie, Boyd Munce and Kwon are pretty much always decent to great these days, and defensively we were rarely troubled. Needed that after last week, but St Johnstone didn't half make life easy at times.

Taking a short corner and trying to work a different angle when it's seconds before half time is another that just stinks. Terrible decision making.
It has to go into the box.
Was howling at this to be fair. Time was well up, ref lets you take the corner when he probably shouldn't, and they do that. I can understand why so many St Johnstone fans didn't fancy it today, such utterly brainless stuff.

Yesterday Hoyle said he accepted labours motion because it was outdated procedures today it's terrorists attacking mps talk about coming up with some nonsense overnight
Even this is backfiring as it gives the Tories an excellent attack line about Labour bending to terrorists.

It's interesting to see the Starmerbots online and the mouthpieces in the media now all going down the route of giving the unruly jocks a right good finger wagging talking to. That always goes so well for them.

I think it's starting to dawn on a few Labour that yesterday wasn't as good a day for them as they thought. Starmer reached straight for the Boris Johnson playbook, and people have noticed. Paul Sweeny lying about a hateful mob kicking his door down on twitter last night was a particular low as well, but I think what's really getting to folk is the smugness. 30,000 people dead in a horrific ongoing genocide that they have backed, then ignored, then basically bullied and cheated their way to not having to vote on, and they are walking around with shit eating grins accusing everyone else of playing politics. This is just another bunch of Lee Andersons or Jonathan Gullis clones with different coloured ties. Pathetic.

Surely rather than sticking Dobie on the wing we must have some youngster that can play on the wing? Were only down McClean to injury and Jones and Tuipolotu in the centre and Rowe and Steyn of the back 3 to internationals in the backs arent we?
I'm starting to wonder if wing is the plan for Dobie now. He looks ok there, he's quick, a good carrier and better in the air than I thought he'd be. With Afshar coming through we look well stocked at scrum half for a while at least.

You should watch Sportscene. Trev had a world class save, again. Thanks guys.
No need to thank us mate, the ones he threw in at St Mirren park a couple of weeks ago were thanks enough.

My take was that Nic Berry hasnt seen the grounding so goes to the TMO which is the correct thing, as always if you havent seen something it hasnt happened. If Berry is going by the TMO (oh its down, oh wait a minute its not) he cant award the try. I wasnt at the game so cant say, but if those pictures are on the screens at Murrayfield, Berry can 100% change his mind (there have been plenty of examples of ref's saying on field is this, then seeing the pictures and changing there minds not waiting on the TMO to tell them.). If Berry has seen that and still gone, no try that is terrible reffing.
We now have an Irish parade to the grand slam, rather than a contest. If Scotland had won it sets up a last day shoot out with Ireland (which we would lose) as I can see us beating Italy and England. It devalued the competition and everyone knows there is nothing to play for now.
On the performance, again Scotland always look toothless when we are 5 metres out and the forwards are battering away. Out of all the top teams we must be the worst. Saying that I think we had a lot more composure than I think I remember us ever having, the ball looked wet and there were a few fumbled passes so probably didnt suit or usual game, if we had won no one would have been complaining (too much) about it.
For me the tournament and even the sport has been badly damaged by what happened yesterday. I'm watching the game with my pals who are mostly football fans and they can't understand what's happened. It's clear the ball is on the ground, there is nowhere else it can be, yet people are genuinely arguing that despite this they were correct to ignore that and award the win to France, fully in the knowledge France didn't win, because of the wording of a question. Nobody is really arguing a try wasn't scored, everyone knows it was, they are arguing about the use of the English language. That's not a serious sport or a serious competition.
If I was Scotland I'd be seriously tempted to have one big go against England, then burn the tournament completely. Give Finn, Zander and the boys a bit of a rest, throw in a few youngsters and cap anyone they can find with a Scottish granny who looks remotely capable.

Biggar just said the quiet bit out loud.
Correct, Biggar basically saying the decision was wrong but "good for the tournament". That's not what happens in a serious sport.

There's no mass conspiracy theory lads, but it's awful refereeing and a complete bottle job from the TMO.
He clearly says the ball is on the ground twice when speaking to Berry. I don't understand how or why he rolls back on that when Berry sounds like he's prepared to award the try. That's what needs to be looked at, and I'll not be surprised if that TMO doesn't have any other games during the championship.
Maybe no mass conspiracy, but honestly, what do you think the decision would be if the two teams were reversed?

Everyone knows that was a try. Ball was 100% on the ground.

Absolutely bent as f**k. They know.

I think we've been pretty good actually, but it feels like a hard luck story is coming...
This is not just Scottish defeatism, I just think they have a much better bench.

Another thing about Toyosi I'm liking this season is he's finishing these one on ones. He's about the only striker we've had in ages I'd really back to score in that position.
