| 101. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 9th Mar 2025. 09:43 So somebody çriticises me for watching the highlights and somebody else for only watching the last 20 minutes. I`ve seen a lot more of Scotland than this match and they`re the most exciting team we`ve had in years. Reply |
| 102. Author: widtink Date: Sun 9th Mar 2025. 18:33 I don`t see the problem. Alright we took our foot off the gas.... But we won. It`s the Scotland way. That`s what we do 🤣 Admin  Reply |
| 103. Author: dd23 Date: Sun 9th Mar 2025. 21:40 Buspasspar, Sat 8 Mar 19:36 That’s been a law for many, many years. I remember and Argentinian player scoring a try that way around the eighties and I think the rule changed after that. As said, it’s a safety concern to prevent the tackler getting a boot in the head. It was a lovely move by the Welsh full back though. Reply |
| 104. Author: PARrot Date: Mon 10th Mar 2025. 17:10 It was frustrating that we let them back in. Especially the final try. However, we were very close to several more scores. We were by far the better side. No shoogley peg for the manager yet, but isn`t it interesting that the same posters that are always shouting for the Pars managers to be sacked are doing the same here. TF I don`t have to live with them.  Reply |
| 105. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Mon 10th Mar 2025. 17:34 PARrot, Mon 10 Mar 17:10 Except we kept trying to force through the middle, even after the defence had set. Couldn’t get through against England, nor Ireland, but persisted against Wales. We look great when we are pinging the ball out wide to runners, but we get sucked in to the grind and eventually make a mistake or have the ball held up (twice). Guaranteed we will try the same against France and get nothing at all through the middle.  Reply |
| 106. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 10th Mar 2025. 17:47 Some commentators thought if Russell had still been on the pitch he would have been more likely to opt to go wide. Apparently he asked to be subbed as he was cramping up. Reply |
| 107. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 10th Mar 2025. 18:10 Luxembourg Par, Mon 10 Mar 17:34 Our backs are an incredible threat, was strange them not going wider more when in the 22. Parrot - people are allowed to voice their opinions on any matter, just because they believe both Scotland and the Pars are underperforming at the same time doesn’t mean they cant then call for change at the same time.

| 108. Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 10th Mar 2025. 18:16 Good Post Lux The number of times we lose the ball when trying to force through the middle or try the maul .. I think is just down to the fact that we don`t have the power/size/weight .. we are very dangerous when we run from deep but don`t quite have the grunt required to take on the big boys dd23 Thanks for that info .. I never knew that .. Also that is the first time I have seen it given in any game over the last 60 + years We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 109. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 21:03 France v Scotland; 3 points behind at the break after a couple of contentious decisions go against us. At the disallowed try the touch judge was right on the spot and was happy Kinghorn wasn`t in touch but was overruled by the TMO! Reply |
| 110. Author: Ladswell_Thistle Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 21:08 I don`t watch much rugby so what`s the rule for out of play? Looked like his elbow was hanging over the line. Is it simply a case of any part of the body on/over the line is out of play?  Post Edited (Sat 15 Mar 21:08) Reply |
| 111. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 21:18 Not sure, LT, but none of the commentary team even questioned it until the late TMO call. Reply |
| 112. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 21:20 Ladswell_Thistle, Sat 15 Mar 21:08 Anything overhanging the line is fine. Anything touching the line you are out. The rule changed on the flag post years ago too, where it used to be if you touched that you were out, whereas now it’s not. Think if you are batting a ball back in from a kick as well you must start infield when you jump and be airborne when you hit it back in, like cricket. Reply |
| 113. Author: Bandy Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 22:45 Somebody`s going to have to explain to me how a flying off the ball headbutt isn`t a red. Reply |
| 114. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 22:53 Yeah, that was another weird one. The game had actually stopped and the Scottish player was lying on the ground without the ball! Like football when VAR is operating, rugby refs just seem to leave the contentious decisions to the TMO. Reply |
| 115. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 23:27 Bandy, Sat 15 Mar 22:45 Because it was against France……had that been White headbutting the French lad it would 100% have been a red. Reply |
| 116. Author: desparado Date: Sat 15th Mar 2025. 23:42 Didn’t see the game but it sounds like we were victims of a couple of contentious decisions….again.. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 117. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Sun 16th Mar 2025. 01:20 desparado, Sat 15 Mar 23:42 The touch judge was right on top of Kinghorn and can be seen from two angles shaking his head to indicate that Kinghorn hadn’t touched the line. Strange that there was no discussion or replays at the time - which usually happens. When we finally saw the replays during h/t, Kinghorn’s elbow might have brushed the line, but it sure wasn’t “clear and obvious’. The headbut could ONLY have been a red - how the buggery is an off the ball, deliberate head first lunge onto the face of a guy lying flat on his back anything else? There were a number of dubious decisions that all went France’s way. Also - as I mentioned after Wales match, we spent a significant amount of time trying to force through the middle after the defence was set - without any success AGAIN. Although - I didn’t want England to sneak the championship win, so I’m ok with France winning. Reply |
| 118. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 16th Mar 2025. 02:03 Is it coincidence that the refereeing decisions tend to favour the countries with the big TV audiences? That was the case with our games against England and France and last season we were denied a winning try by the TMO in the game at Murrayfield against France. Reply |
| 119. Author: Buspasspar Date: Sun 16th Mar 2025. 08:19 Sheesh that was a long day England with all the power Italy unlucky if only they can keep 15 men on at the pitch Scotland played well .. France deserved the title There`s always next year We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 120. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Sun 16th Mar 2025. 08:58 Apparently the flying headbutt from a 20 stone forward on a guy on the ground didn’t represent a ‘high degree of danger’. Incroyable. Reply |
