England made 1 error today and that was going for the points when Scotland got their final warning - had they gone for line out and won it, Scotland 100% would’ve gone down to 14 or conceded a try.

Wee Eck seems to have that typical “we are alright jock” attitude of thinking we are doing well by just competing. This side should have come much closer to a 6 Nations trophy than they have - something we have never won.

Townsend has one good thing to his name - winning Calcutta Cups. The rest is just typical meh from Scotland.

`Just competing`? Which team provided the entertainment? I remember when Scotland teams were `just competing`. They huffed and puffed and were lucky if they scored one try per game.

Aye, sack the coach, that always works. A lot of the England fans are saying the same about their coach.

Wee Eck misses the very stat that cost us the game…..penalties conceded. It seems that every game we concede more than the opposition. Getting turned over and losing possession in the oppositions 22 waaay too often.


Exactly this.
Canny blame the gaffer for conceding penalties and missing kicks.

Course you can blame the coach for teams conceding penalties when its been a common trend for years 😂

We did more than `just compete` which is what you said. It`s funny because on the Football Forum a lot of posters are complaining at the lack of entertainment at EEP.

There is a limit to how entitled you can be, surely?
We lost by a point away from home to one of the most heavily funded rugby teams in the world, after humping them 4 times in a row and drawing spectacularly in what has been hailed as one of the best matches in history.

Aye, feckit, we lost.
Frigging dotnet mentality.
Sack the board.

And it’s this exact mentality why we will never win the 6 Nations. Claiming folk wanting us to be ambitious as entitled 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry, lads. Just can’t get excited about rugby. Granted, I wasn’t excited at east end, but at least I care about them.

The co commentator on Radio Scotland was very scathing about some of the Ref`s decisions, don`t know how it was, possibly an ex player!

It was probably Peter Wright, ex-Scotland prop, who always criticises refs to the point that it`s an ongoing joke amongst the commentary team, including him.

There seem to be so many subjective areas in interpreting the Laws of Rugby, particularly around the scrum and the breakdown, that refereeing decisions can become a bit of a lottery. You often hear pundits and commentators saying how important it is for the teams to get on the right side of the ref in these critical aspects of play.

Peter Wright`s efforts reminds me of listening to the know it all down the pub. He can`t help himself and there`s been more than one time when his brain eventually catches up with his mouth and he admits that he might not have got it right.

Based on his kicking yesterday it’s clear that when the chips are down Finn Russell couldn’t kick a giraffe to death still is it not about time for him throwing his toys out the pram again?

What a horrible metaphor!

I didn`t think he had a history of missing crucial kicks which made his performance yesterday all the more surprising.
