LoganRoy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 3 good chances to get 3 points on the board, but we insist on letting Fud Russell kick for the corner. Ireland will pick us off and win by 20+ points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThistleWhistle Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Refereeing has been suspect all tournament. We should have had a 50 22 - not clearly out my arse. There's no way they're staying two metres in the line out and/or chucking it straight. Fuck it off - group stages been absolutely pointless apart from Australia being crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complaint is legitimate and refs always seem to favour the bigger team in rugby but it’s not why we’re losing. Scotland are just soft as fuck. The longer and longer that our first visit to the 22 went on without progress or a serious threat of scoring, I just felt it was a big moment that was setting the tone. Ireland stood firm.

Shaundy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Rugby refs used to be able to swing a game each way. It’s not so much now but a couple of swing decisions like the Irish guy stepping in touch in his 22 not given just drain the spirit. Or a high tackle not yellow. 🙁 this republic and kingdom province team are still my favourites for world champions if they get passed Scotland impressive Irish turnout in the stadium.

That's where I'm coming from - that was us doing that high tackle there'd be a yellow plus the penalties in their 22. What's the crack with head knocks too because their bloke with the pony tail got twatted and didn't have to go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Ireland play decent rugby. If anyone is going to win it, I wouldn't mind it being them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Best saying the Irish first try probably shouldn't have counted but they've been the better team. We've played well in parts and no doubting our commitment but their decision making has been better, as has been their movement in attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 As much as it pains me, we're not even close......2 kick able penalties after there 1st try could have put them on the back foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Scotland not in the same league as Ireland but the ref really needs to get to fuck I don't care if its bitter but I hope Ireland bottle it again. I can't stand sexton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaundy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Frustrations coming in. cold blooded assassins the Irish. Like they get it.
