What a game.

WTF was that decision?

Ridiculous.

If we keep it under 50 we'll be doing better than I expect.
And now?

Edinburgh are playing smart knockout rugby so far. I won't complain about the ruck speed being awful if we maintain the margin.

My lad goes to school, goes to football and he plays roblox and super mario, he doesn't meet any openly gay people in school or in his/our walk of life. He does not need to know about LGB people at his age. That is statistically impressive, I have to say. I grew up in a rural farming community and ...

It's hard to put your finger on it. Turkey quite flat, mainly completely tree lined with little or no views. All the test is in the length and artificial hazards like water and bunkers. Spain had far more variety and the challenge was mainly in the course routing through the natural landscape. Alwa...

I agree. Last season we managed a long BP in half the games we lost, this season we've had 1 BP from 5 losses. Last year we got 8 try BPs, this year we've named 3. In terms of wins we are equal third in the league, only Glasgow and Leinster have won one more game each than us. Mossy was correct at ...

Just once I'd love to see Edinburgh step up and beat Munster, especially in a very important game. The backline looked all over the place against Zebre, absolutely no fluidity or cohesion, big Duane tries to batter through 14 players in any direction, Mark Bennett should be more accurate given all ...

Gloucester had a B team out but they still should have put up more of a fight than they did.

Why are they putting out such a weak team? Because of the Euro final? It's two weeks away.

Boffelli plays one match and is injured again? Also, I thought Harry Paterson was going to be back a few weeks ago, is he injured again? With Henry out too lots of players missing golden opportunities to stake a claim for a back three shirt towards the businnes end of the season. Paterson's is a ne...

I don't agree with Kate Forbes on a range of issues, a few of which I will never agree with her on, particularly the more obvious ones, but the pile on from the Greens is laughable as it is only because they got kicked out of government. Finance secretary is probably a more important role than depu...

From an English perspective, unfortunate that Redpath's spot comes at Ojomoh's expense. I also note Cammy Hutchison in at centre for Newcastle, I recall his name from international age grade but he seems to have fallen off international radar? Hutchison was a solid enough pro at Edinburgh when he e...

He's successful at getting himself a lot of attention.

Tui Jr confirmed https://www.scotlandrugbynews.com/news/24300849.edinburgh-confirm-mosese-tuipulotu-signing-completes-move/ Have already seen a bit too much hype about a player who could be the next Sep Visser. A handful of pro appearances does not make him a "phenomenal" addition to the ...

Which major city in the western world doesn’t have stabbing and muggings? I dunno if you count Istanbul as the Western world but I lived there for 10 years and barely even heard about that kind of thing. Scams and dodgy taxi drivers, yes, but no violent street crime of the kind that is normalised i...

Sunak's North Yorkshire now under a Labour mayor! :clap: York and North Yorkshire contains some areas that tend to vote strongly Conservative, including the Prime Minister’s own constituency of Richmond (Yorks). So Labour’s victory in the mayoral race here is notable. A Labour spokesperson describe...

Fucking DAC coming in and proving the point with grace, style and panache as usual :lol: While it's not reported daily here any more, I saw a headline the other day outlining current Covid cases, hospitalisations and deaths in NZ and we're still having weekly, double digit death figures in a small ...

Adam McBurney is joining Connacht for next season. Good luck to him, I thought he played well whenever called on for Edinburgh. That moves Paddy Harrison up to third choice with young Jerry Blyth-Lafferty in fourth spot He's a decent enough player, McBurney, but Harrison is probably ready for more ...

If you were cynical you might think this statement is an attempt at shaping the story before his upcoming court appearance.

It is the case as the SRU run the teams which wouldn't be financially viable without the SRU. And agreed Glasgow's 2012 win was a real highlight, as was 17/18(?) semi final Vs Ulster (less so the final). But that's because it was the only time in the last what 20 years a Scottish team has won anyth...

Did Patrick Harvie not already say he would step down if the Greens walked out? Not sure what Slater has said. I imagine the Greens' logic would be that they can't stand by when climate-change targets have been abandoned. The SNP probably realise the Greens are now toxic to a lot of voters, so Humz...

I've just caught up with the Southern Knights Edinburgh A game from Friday. There was some good pace on display from the Embra backs, both starting and from he bench. I like the look of Jack Brown the fullback. The 6ft 11 Carmichael was impressive, McVie is going to be a big player for Edinburgh I ...

My sentiment exactly. My granddaughter is 3 and a half and it is an absolutely sensational age. My daughter and SiL have already had a 'Minimoon' and will shortly be going away for a full Honeymoon without her. It means that we are getting the pleasure of taking her away ourselves but I constantly ...

Glasgow doing it right, two academy props. and an Argentinian World Cup tighthead on the bench. The only tighthead Edinburgh have got in the academy is Ollie Blyth-Lafftery who turned 18 a couple of weeks ago. Robin Deans, a loosehead, is in the academy and perhaps we'll see these guys later on in ...

This is slightly different, it's related to electoral issues not the tax. Did she register her correct address for electoral issues. It's quite pathetic really. That’s the thing, they are about eight years too late in being able to bring about any prosecution, the police must know that, so why are ...

Starting for Toulouse in a Heineken QF and doing that is quite respectable.

I've seen comments from Scottish rugby fans online even this season saying that he's not international class etc. Baffling.

The Post Office MD Alan Cook has just claimed that he had no idea that they had the power to prosecute their own cases. Hundreds of sub postmasters prosecuted during his tenure. Incredible. It beggars belief that the senior management didn't understand what they were doing and how they did it There...

I'm not hearing that being said, but I am seeing a few (not all) bollox pens being given.

Yeah, some poor play by Glasgow at times but they are being ridden by the ref and the TMO.

Yeah, they're very desirable properties. And within Edinburgh, public transport is pretty good, so there are a lot of people who just don't bother with a car at all. But it's all about how you build your infrastructure, both the properties themselves and the supporting infrastructure of the city. J...

Maybe we should start a "NIMBY watch" on this thread? My submission, NIMBYs against building on Tesco car parks. Tesco car park in London. Flats by an Elizabeth line tube station and main road. Over 3300 signatures from local residents objecting, NIMBYs took it to the high court, local La...

Yeah and Fagerson only actually played because he's a phenom. Both pro teams can't develop front row because they won't accept the risk that comes with it. What was great about Fagerson as Toonie allowed the odd pumping at the scrum at the beginning. There's no decent level down to play in to devel...

I suppose I have the naive idea that it is the government's responsibility to provide the infrastructure for the population.
