Mark Connolly Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 We always hear that the Irish never make excuses or complain about the ref. Dan McFarland currently moaning about the ref, and bemoaning all their injuries and the fact that Doak hadn’t trained at 10 all week. Maybe if he was going to be the cover there, you maybe should have done something about that during the week then, Dan… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Very impressed by the weegies tonight. Looked like they might get blown away in the first 20 but after that got a grip of the game and dominated. Turner, Sione, McDowell andDempsey all carried really well. Turner would have been my pick for MotM but no qualms with Sione getting it. Matthews sprinting down the wing for the BP try was a thing of beauty. He should have had more international recognition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I’m watching this slightly behind but I’ve just seen the Ulster coach post match interview. Let me sum it up for those that switched over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been wingers with worse scoring records than Matthew’s before. I don’t know enough about him as a player to know why he hasn’t had more caps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I noticed there is a tiny potential stooshie brewing over the Blair Kinghorn money with some suggestion that there is no point spending it on Edinburgh. I have to be honest I don't see a position where spending a bit of cash is going to make much difference to Edinburgh. Center maybe? They seem to have top players backed by decent youngsters in almost every position whereas a decent 10 would probably make Glasgow truly competitive overnight? Maybe I'm just biased.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 31 tries in 56 appearances for Glasgow and he moves into the top 5 all time Warriors try scorers. Astounding record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look and for some reason its not showing the prices for the Sunday, Im wondering if its engineering works? Loads of availability on Monday so another day in Cardiff might be an option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s as much as I want to see. Flogged my tickets on the WRU resale site this morning. Rome the only away trip for us this season now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rome the only away trip for us this season now. I was there as well, but only saw the inside of a few pubs Seemingly it is engineering works between Birmingham and Wolverhampton, but its pretty much affecting all trains from the Midlands up. I can get back OK, and you could get to Crewe but nothing Crewe to Preston. The rest of the lads im going with are looking at hotel for Sunday and early train back Monday now. Im still trying to talk the lads into a Rome trip (will be easier now as we were in Lille which was fantastic) as the savings in match tickets will pay the extra travel - and given the prices of train tickets might be cheaper Edited November 27, 2023 by honestly united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Finally the Glasgow slow start did them tonight, you can't go 19-0 down to these teams in the first quarter and expect to get anything. The fightback was decent, and they showed the usual grit and fight that they always do, but they have to start games faster. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like to single out an individual as the whole team started badly, but Kennedy looked miles off it tonight. Some questionable refereeing too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 That’s a great performance by Edinburgh in Ulster. 12-13 up at the break and under the pump for the 1st 15 of the second half. Defended really well though then dominated the game. Shame they messed up the last lineout that gave Ulster 2 points. Ritchie outstanding at the breakdown and Healy’s game management superb. Special shout out to the Italian ref (who I’ve never heard of). Way beyond Mike Adamson levels of having no clue what he’s doing. To the extent even the commentators were calling him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
