Plenty of heart but a lot of stupidity again.

How the fcuk is that a penalty?

He has been very average for a while now

Actually dont have an issue with the score except Sheehan surely dummied the tap?

We really are our own worst enemies. Win 3 clean lineouts at the front so what do we do on our own line? Throw it long. So stupid. That said our defence so far has been good. Christie has been terrific. Wish Dugan wouldn’t get himself isolated. Doesn’t always have to take the nuclear option

I see it has been a while since I contributed to this thread so will just add a few fairly eclectic recommendations that I’ve really enjoyed here

Square of 7s (Dickensian type twisty thriller)
The Gargoyle (batshit crazy love epic)
Cloud Cuckoo Land (5 disparate stories of time and place fall ...

Yup. Was really looking forward to this 6N after the WC which I thought was awful for any number of reasons. But it has been crap. Probably had the worst experience I’ve had at an international yesterday due to obnoxious people and not knowing what the fuck was going on.

Even the post match ...

100% agree. If Luke Pearce was reffing he would have had his head right in there and correct decision would have been made.

Unlucky Wales, a brilliantly plucky performance

FFS.. I post on online rugby forums for 20 years and now all of a sudden, once I decided to stop posting, Scotland decide all of a suddenly to stop being shit. It’s fucking outrageous. Good to see Finn is still living in Torqs head rent free.

Peak Scotland

I have an accumulator on Ireland, England, SA and Scotland. Scotland are going to fuck me aren’t they.

Nice to hear TopoftheMoon references on comms

They seem quite loud again now ;)

Did Lowe throw a punch there or am I mistaken?

This TMO

Murrayfield is beginning to take the piss as well. My debenture for the France game was £45 4 years ago, was £85 this year.

Understand Covid etc, but it wasn't that long ago we couldn't fill the stadium and I have to say that the French game definitely had a kind of corporate feel to the ...

Congrats England. Couldn’t watch the game but I see reading the rhetoric in the English press this morning it must have been a fine victory.

The better half is really going to enjoy our romantic night out… “but why are Wales so fucking lucky every time.. every fucking time”

Cheap shot by Liam Williams on Darcy Graham for his try?

Hmm just seen a few replays.. jury still out for me

I fully concur with the opinion that Toga should fcuk the fcuk off with his poor trolling but are we really saying Jock and Sweaty are racist terms now? I always took them as a compliment growing up (and I dare say as a child of Scottish parents in South London I heard it a lot more than those up ...

*including your own

Careful.. with your physique you might be putting yourself in for a shoeing with that kind of talk.

Shite. Shite. Shite, shite shite.

As are Sunday games. Shite.

Although there was a noticeable lack of drunk arseholes on Sunday, so I guess that’s a positive

Yeah even saw one bloke drinking bloody Erdinger.

Lucky you, I was sitting next to someone that smelt like a fucking jakey ...

Our little display turned into a nightmare… local families and kids in a shared garden in the middle of town. I was asked to be the fireworks person.

Was a bit nervous as it was quite windy and the garden is surrounded by flats. Anyway, the guy turns up with basic little fireworks that were very ...

My gaff for watching was fcuking awesome. Not my fault the missus wears the pants.

Anyone read Barclay's piece in the Times? I haven't, because I'm not giving money to Murdoch but apparently he doesn't hold back. If anyone can give us the highlights...

The news that Richard Cockerill has left his job as Edinburgh head coach caught many on the hop, but I was far from ...

Just reread 'under the frog' by tibor Fischer. Phenomenal short novel

I read that last year. Bit weird for me but had it’s moments. Did you know Fischer is a Bromley lad?

He's very pretentious for someone from bromley!!

The thought gang by him is worth reading as well, I wouldn't ...

Ridiculous piece of cheating aside it was enjoyable watching that last scrum and Afoa having Genge on toast.

Just finished East of Eden. As close to perfection as a novel gets for me and possibly a new favourite book.. certainly top 5. The last page I had goosebumps. Steinbeck you magnificent bastard.

I probably preffered Grapes of Wrath very slightly more, but both are superb. I really hated Of ...

I think I’ve posted maybe once since the great split but then I’ve only posted here about 3 times. It’s been cathartic not getting sucked into the same old arguments that have been going 20 years.

I see our local dickhead with the ‘Vote Alba’ sign in his penthouse window has taken it down.. not sure if that’s from lack of need or sheer embarrassment.

Today was a good day

That was the most Scottish result/performance for a while. When we didn’t score from 2 yards out at 17-8 up I knew we’d lose. After the elation of last week it’s back down to earth with a crash

Well that was VERY enjoyable. Terrific performance and because we won there’s no point in pulling apart the brain farts too much. Dear god they never make it easy do they.

I’ve had it up to here with bloody South Africans settling in Edinburgh.

Grow a fucking spine

Doc Robs not THAT bad
