Fun start at the Stoop

I had wondered about their strength, I don't follow squads from down here hard enough to be up with players etc.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:45 amExeter have been a genuine disaster this season and that was largely a second team. Frankly amazed it was 17-17 at half time.Dan54 wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 12:52 am Well watched that game9Or about 50 minutes or so) this morning. Was live here about 9am, so handy time.
Conclusion was although I enjoyed waht I saw in general, the defnce of both teams kind of ruined the game. I loved some of the tries, but just getannoyed when so many basic errors in defence. I know they happen etc, but one or 2 of them looked as if the players didn't know what they were supposed to do, and even worse maybe just came from basic no communication between players.
The young lad has done well so farJM2K6 wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 4:01 pm Quins have picked a kid with 17 minutes of premiership + European experience to start against Glasgow at 12. At least it won't be against Sione.
And it's only the second scariest selection decision, with James Chisholm starting at lock. Wtf.

Wilson another commentator supporting one side at the expense of commentating. Why do we get subjected to this across 4 separate networks?

Good luck to Oscar Beard in the NFL playoffs later.

That’s a nonsense call - Jones even moves across to keep defending

Stormers B defense look weak tonight. Scrums very good. Had enough chances then lose vital lineouts. Mountain to climb.

It really is annoying. The Leicester lot commentating on Leicester are probably the worst but Monye as the second voice for Quins matches is even more unbearable than he is for any other match.

Moves across at a significant disadvantage. You can't ru into someone on a blocking line. They should be called a penalty more than they are.Paddington Bear wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:48 pm That’s a nonsense call - Jones even moves across to keep defending
Nah, he tries to get across but can’t make it because he’s been obstructed. One of the easier calls for the ref id say.Paddington Bear wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:48 pm That’s a nonsense call - Jones even moves across to keep defending

Leicester mob are awful but lest we forget Jiffy and Andy Nicol.

Quins undoubtedly niggled but Fagerson ran in and shoved a bloke in the back, always going to get pinged for that even if he didn’t start it.

There's not a forward in the world who isn't running in to pull two forwards off your back when they are giving him shit on the deck. It was never a penalty offence.Paddington Bear wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 9:21 pmQuins undoubtedly niggled but Fagerson ran in and shoved a bloke in the back, always going to get pinged for that even if he didn’t start it.

But that’s exactly why teams do that shit on the deck - because retaliation is always a pen. Got to be smarter than that in an age where you can guarantee that your guy on the floor is not being punchedBlackmac wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 9:26 pmThere's not a forward in the world who isn't running in to pull two forwards off your back when they are giving him shit on the deck.

I bet the beer is piss as well

The one time I've been there I have to say the beer was good and the pie was a little bit overcooked, but tasty.
In the olden days they had a wonderful bar
