ABs v Scotland

@no-quarter That wasn't a yellow on Naholo, the French XV match established a new precedent. Plus, they go there in the end with the right decision I think, there were clear mitigating circumstances.

Surprised they didn't penalise the Jock running obstruction aftr precedent mid-week

@booboo "Jock"

really?

Porridge Wog?

Colonial?

Can't whinge about the ref. Thought he was ok overall....now Australia on the other hand...
Cane's YC was pretty cynical.
Just wish we would stop doing the dumb stuff. Naholo has a history of tackling players in mid-air. He should be taken aside and given a coaching clinic. Why does he persist in doing this shit? Shag have a word FFS.

@talisker

Genuine question: is that an issue?

Is standard term for Scotsman here (like Boer, Frog, Paddy, Pom).

On the replay it actually looked like Cane got pushed over by another AB and then sealing off the ball. Crockett's was stupid, really stupid, the 9 hadn't even really done that stupid NH roll the ball thing they do that refs let them get away with.

It would take a lot longer to answer properly than half past two on a Sunday morning allows.
The short answer is that using "Jock" isn't cool

I prefer it to "Sweaty" that some of the Poms use.

I laughed at Jegga's term Porridge Wog

Righto. I'll look for a suitable alternative

Talisker

@booboo

I guess you are okay with "Kiwi"

We only have derogatory shite from the English, such as Sweaty or Jock, that is why I object to it

I think we named ourselves that

Talisker

@booboo
Hence you (plural) being fine with it - we didn't choose those nicknames for Scots

Crash

@talisker most people don't choose their nickname?

Talisker

@booboo

I don't want to get too ott about it all, I just don't want to be defined by English people, that's all

Talisker

@crash
True, but you can choose to accept it or you can choose to reject it

I'm not going to tug a forelock

What name would you like us to call you?

Also, I'd like an itemised list of all the yellow cards we should have got (you can also provide the one that the ~~jocks~~, ~~Sweaties~~, damn this is hard - Scottish people missed out on as well, you know, for balance).

Talisker

Scots is fine

Scottish players/people if you prefer

When I saw a Scots hand emerge from a ruck to grab the ankle of a defending player for the umpteenth time, the nickname "Skirt-Wearing Mother@$%r" sprung to mind, but I've calmed down since then.
