Scotland France for the lazy buggers

[OomStruisbaai]

Fuck know the ref is just nowhere

This, add the tmo

[charltom]

Can't say it was grounded. Probably was but can't say for sure.

Do you think it was levitating?

[ASMO]

Not definitive we all know it was a try but thems the rules...but Scotland should have had this wrapped up long before...France were and are mud.

[Blackmac]

TMO said it was grounded and then changed his mind. It only needs to touch the grass

[Openside]

You might as well do away with the TMO if you can look at all those angles and still get it wrong. Fair enough if the ref gets it wrong in real time I can live with that, but denying video evidence - bonkers.

[S/Lt_Phillips]

Tbh game was there for the taking, shouldn't have lost it given how each team was playing

[tc27]

TMO is Irish right?

Gonna be a fun few days on social media

[Jim Lahey]

Shambolic decision at the end.

I guess on balance there is no doubt the Scots had the rub of the green the whole game from the ref. But still, that fuck up at the end probably overrides VDM's clear and obvious pen try.

[dkm57]

Who and how much to get a fair shake from the officials. 2 Matches in a row.

No. I said it probably was a try but no picture showed the ball touching the grass, that's all.

That's irrelevant to be honest, when the game was decided by such a blatantly bad decision.

It's even worse in review. Not a French hand in sight and a Scot with a free hand to press it down.

[I like neeps]

Ultimately the TMO said the ball was on the ground. To then bottle the decision, should see him never tmo any match again because he's admitted to bottling it.

[laurent]

hard luck Scotland that was a dreadful game by France.

Lucu needs to be put away he is not threatening anything.

So much kicking to nothing

[PCPhil]

it was just a statement. If the ref had said try and gone to check it would have been a try. The ref said no try on the field. Call The ref out if you like.

Penauds blatant knock on was just before the French second try.

[Big D]

How Berry can't wait and see that's clearly on the ground is weird too.

That's more the point.

The ref's action was fine (ish), it's the TMO who needs calling out

[Blackmac]

And Berry agreed. What possibly justified a change of mind.

Nonsense there is a shot of the ball on the ground unless the bottom half of the ball is missing !

[Big D]

I mean it's clearly down.

The French lost the ball forward in the first try in the mail on the line.

The problem is a picture did show the ball on the ground hence the TMO saying "I can see the ball on the ground".

TMO bottled it, can't be trusted to have authority in a game from now on.

[Blackmac]

Jesus. The photo is ridiculous. If it looks like a shit, smells like a shit and tastes like shit....it's a shit. Scandalous decision. I don't think I have ever been so angry after a game.

France should have had a pen try and Vdm in the bin...woulda, coulda, shoulda, the result stands.

Exactly. “And there is the ball on the ground”. He literally said it.

[laurent]

where though?

It's highway robbery in a way .

that french team needs to work on their defence and lineout.

a bit of luck to restart building for us.

[Thor Sedan]

Can someone explain why the universe f**ken hates Scotland?

They hate us coz they ain't us

All French teams are driven and led by the 9.....Lucu just isnt up to it, when the other 9 came on France looked noticeably better.

No. I said it probably was a try but no picture showed the ball touching the grass, that's all.

But you also know that it's not possible for it not to touch the grass. The view was merely obstructed by... grass!

[C69]

That is a shocker tbh.

It does feel like that sometimes. I am sure it’s as bad for everyone else but it doesn’t feel that way.

[weegie01]

Can't say it was grounded. Probably was but can't say for sure.

Whilst it probably was, there is no angle that actually shows the ball grounded. With the question asked it can't be given.

Which does not alter the fact Scotland pissed the game away. At half time I thought the game was lost by the failure to score then. The kick tennis in the second half as we tried not to lose put the tin hat on it. Trying not to lose rather than trying to win is generally a sure fire way of losing.

Scotland's precision was poor, tactics questionable and just generally a poor game.

[Lady P]

OFC it was grounded, Berry asked the wrong question

[weegie01]

Paterson was excellent btw.
