I've been looking forward to watching Masaga have a good sprint I'm no expert, but I'm assuming they haven't signed him for his defensive qualities. 2 minutes ago, ajwffc said: pen try surly Nah, tight enough to the touchline with the covering defender close enough for there to be doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Nah, tight enough to the touchline with the covering defender close enough for there to be doubt. Yeah there was another defender coming so it was right decision for me....all told bit too frantic but enough from hastings n Horne to feel confident for future. Gregor was right that against a stronger side Hastings would have played more composed rugby but he looks pretty tidy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I didn't watch the whole game but after the chat earlier about impartial refs and the Kings having to play in Glasgow with an all SRU officiating team, it looked like Adamson was a bit generous with some of those decisions. Asking the TMO if there was any reason not to give the try and he surely wasn't able to see any grounding, some spills that would normally be called for a knock on (even if sometimes you look at it and think it's gone backwards, they do give them a lot) as well as quite generous interpretations of advantage etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was stuff that he spotted for both sides that, on first glance, looked like dreadful decisions but on replay, it was shown to be an excellent spot. The try where he got the TMO involved did seem a bit strange, I will agree with that. Overall though, I don't think he was too bad. I think it does help that he's an ex-player though. I think the refereeing assessor might have been in the crowd tonight judging by comments being made. That inevitably affects a referee's performance as they have to focus more on the rules and less on common sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just poor that Kings away from home had an all sru set of officials (albeit tmo is actually Irish n has taken delight in screwing both Glasgow n embra v Irish sides). Its both unfair and unnecessary. I said before game I'd be seething if it was other way round (more if it was to an Irish rather than sa side) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddfg Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 SRU to approach SFA about them using Murrayfield after the current deal with Hampden runs out in 2020. Much better stadium but probably too big and not sure what the locals would think after the first Old Firm cup final, if such a thing takes place again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddfg Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Does anyone else get annoyed with people in the east stand singing about themselves? We all want a bonus point! We're at the opposite end so sometimes all you can hear is some noise without knowing what they're saying. The one song they do which I can't be bothered with is the tartan army one of "we'll be coming down the road". Won't be long till they are setting of flares, demanding safe standing and complaining of police harrasment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 At least there is atmosphere and full stands at scotstoun. Something most of the pro 14 are still yet to achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddfg Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 What's people's thoughts on "respecting the kicker" ? Last week Johnny Sexton was clearly not respected late in the game which caused some comments back and forwards amongst supporters where we sit and I know from speaking to a guy at work that it was a similar situation in his stand. This is not a practice universally adopted and certainly not across other sports so should we maintain high standards of sportsmanship or feel free to respond to what was on the night repeated time wasting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can create atmosphere without one stand being Marks for themselves. Respect the kicker unless it’s Johnny Sexton as he’s an absolute weasel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy from playing for Fiji (I assume he was actually Australian) with his arm snapped was grim viewing. I've not winced that much since MM posted a picture of his Mushroom Supper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
