Scotland v Ireland

[cgrant]

The better team has won but what a shocker from Mr Doleman. His refereeing was consistent : he let the Irish infringe in the rucks from the 1st till the 80th minute.

I was listening on BBC Radio Scotland or something, with a couple of completely biased Scots pundity who were moaning all the time about the reffing. At half time we heard from an Irish pundit who agreed that they were getting away with murder but asked why the Scots weren’t even trying to test the referee’s limits. Called it for what it was - unimaginative play.

@Catogrande yeah that about sums it up for the most part, but Doleman set the stall out early when he penalised a Scotland player for pushing an offside blocker on a kick chase. Even when they tried to play up to recent bias, he slammed the door shut. Pretty shithouse.

Just saw some highlights.

Geez McDowell with a classic SBW flick to set up DVDM.

Magic stuff.

Sounds like I’d better not bother watching most of the rest

Roman O'Gara getting tetchy on the pre-game BBC pundits sofa telling Gabby Logan that she is obsessed with players' ages. A good thing that Martin Johnson is there to calm it all down.

Didn't catch that but thought the bit I did see with ROG he was great value.

Butler in the crowd, Hoy bringing the ball on. MN5 will need several boxes of tissues.

You mean crying?

Thought not.

I think it's called weeping.
This provides no further information

How fucking good is JGP right now? Easily the form scrumhalf in Europe. Ireland would be half the team they are without him.

Just watched the highlights

4 grown men can’t rule that it was a Penalty Try

FFS

With M Smith going to 15, Irish halfbacks = Lions halfbacks

Add in Lowe, Keenan and Aki there may be room for Lawrence and DVDM

The standard of this six nations so far has been atrocious

I see you upset the M6N's marketing department...

That's been the case for a few years now.

Although Scotland wouldn't have won, having a 6:2 bench meant they were compromised when Russell and Graham went off.

And while we're criticising commentators we got the Irish fluffer, who was kind enough to tell us his name at the start. Mark Robson.

Can't help but feel if we had Lowe, we'd be moaning about how slow he is.

Still would have been faster than Bridge.

TBF, so would the TMO
