He played over 100 games for Connacht too. I remember that we had a similar situation against one of the SA teams a few months back when Adamson reffed our game. I'm not saying that he'll be biased but, as with Adamson, it's utterly ridiculous that a referee is put in that situation knowing that accusations will inevitably be flung about.

Adamson is slightly different as he only played one game for Glasgow

Not particularly. One game or one hundred games - dimwits like me will still be screaming bias.

Also, absolutely STUNNED to see that Ali Price is responsible for his team conceding a try with poor passing.

Ali Price needs to calm the f**k down - he's been wild for two weeks

That was just a festival of shite from him there. Crap, wild passes then that "tackle" there. He's third choice at the moment.

If he keeps up this form, I'd have Niko there instead of him too. And I hate Niko at 9.

I was just thinking the same thing. We've actually fallen to bits a wee bit here, and it's coincided with Horne and Pyrgos going off.

What’s happened to that guy? He had a mediocre Six Nations when 9 was there for his taking. Now his Glasgow form has gone to pot. Flash is n the pan or temporary blip?

Talking from experience, as someone who captained his school and university teams, I relied heavily on my no. 9.  He was my link to the forwards and the backs. Price's problem is his head (both temper and game intelligence - as much as I hate that phrase). If he was to keep his head, he'd have the potential to be world class. There's a reason why Laidlaw was first choice 9 - he's a wee nyaff but he's an intelligent wee nyaff.

Price is too passionate. There are times that something happens to him and his main focus is on getting revenge immediately. Likewise, he sometimes wants to play the killer ball rather than letting the forwards take contact. He needs more composure at times.

To answer your question, I think it is a temporary blip. Very good player, passionate. Just needs his head screwed on at times.

Also, shite ref tonight.

I think you are right. I think the fact Russell hasn't been playing well either hasn't helped. I wonder if the pressure has finally got to them a bit, Russell with his big move and Price with Laidlaw taking back his Scotland jersey and Horne being the new bright young thing at Glasgow. 

I hate to be negative, but I think Glasgow have got problems going into the playoffs. I think some good results have papered over some cracks, but I don't really fancy us to turn over any of Munster, Leinster or Scarlets when the chips are down. I hope I'm wrong, but I just think we have a softness those teams don't, and with Price and Russell being so off form we have lost a big creative spark.

I think that we'll get through to the final. It just depends who faces us. I think we could beat Munster.

George Horne is something else. He's tremendous. I think that Adam Hastings should replace Russell. I trust him more than Horne. As for Russell, f**k Racing 92 - horrible c***s in general.

On an Edinburgh note, I saw Cockerill bemoaning the fact that Weir is leaving. Why let him go then? It was Cockerill's decision, you assume. They'll struggle to replace him. Also, Worcester are utter gubbins. They'll go the same way as Rotherham Titans eventually.
