ajwffc Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Missed the game as I fell asleep just after it started so have not seen the game. But I now don't have to think of a new profile pic for upto another 12 months as we keep the Calcutta Cup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 This was the rugby equivelant of the Scotland 2 England 2 at Hampden a couple years ago. Given the demented scoring, it was like that game if England had led 5-0 and it had been 5-1 at half time, with it finishing 6-6. It was the biggest margin ever recovered in the history of international rugby, and ended in the highest scoring draw ever. It's the most points and tries we've ever scored against England, home or away. England held their biggest ever half time lead over us. It was Scotland-England multiplied by Motherwell-Hibs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met my son (and his dug, born in Aberdeenshire) at the station and, as we walked back to the house, the chat was about how much we'd get pumped by. We both went for 30ish to England and 10ish to Scotland. About 12 mins or so in I calculated that England were scoring at a rate of 1.5 points a minute and we speculated it could get in to treble figures. The turning point of the match was when he went for a shite and missed McInally's try. I said it could keep the score respectable and he reckoned we should just play cribbage rather than torture ourselves. Both of us were wrong. Astonishing 2nd half. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Maybe happy since England celebrated with glee over scraping a draw vs Scotland at Twickenham? Anyway, special mention to @Highlandmagyar 2nd TierThanks for today's revelation. I now know what a complete arsehole I must come across as on the Indyref threads. At least I try to be sincere. You, though, are a fucking disgrace so GIRFUY. Aww! You took time out to mention me through your gin filled haze. I didn't know you cared. Love you too. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, yesterday was a far greater comeback. I just meant their late try was like the Harry Kane equaliser but I am so proud of that team yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The downside of that match is that for the rest of my life whenever I see Scotland getting absolutely done over like that again I’ll have this gnawing hope in the back of my mind that maybe it’ll happen again 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Re: Farrell. Thought he was lucky not to get carded late on. He isn't shaping his body to either block the kick or try and make a tackle. It was a clear shoulder barge for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Owen Farrell is a shit version of his father. I'm old enough to remember when his old man played for Wigan Warriors and if there was a fight happening, he'd be the first one there to defend his teammates - mainly because 10 times out of 10, he'd started it...but that's a side note. Owen's a cheap-shot merchant, Faz would take on 6 players by himself.Don't even start me on his faces when he is about to take a penalty or conversion. His dads career in Rugby League coincided with my phase of being obsessed with it & he was some player, he seemed to be the playmaker, try scorer, kicker & score settler in one package. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one team wins any tournament; everybody else has the story of how they lost. You think that list is bad, you should see Italy's. And for a pretty small country, we do alright.We didn't lose yesterday, it was a brilliant comeback away from home against a top side.We didn't lose at Hampden in 2017, with possibly the biggest gulf between the sides in the history of the fixture.Andy Murray, Jamie Murray, Chris Hoy, Laura Muir, Kathrine Grainger - all among our recent world beaters. Our cricket team beat England last year. Our women's football team are a top seed in Europe.We do alright. We could and should do better, especially in men's football, but we're above par. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
