Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

Does Brace have any idea what's happening in front of his eyes? Some of the stuff he fails to see directly in front of him is absolutely fucking insane.

Surely if you're discussing whether it's a penalty try you need to see who would stop the intended recipient of the pass - not the guy who enters the shot after that player has gone through the gap?!

Actually, Tao would have taken that but he was obstructed by his own player. I doubt it was a deliberate knock on.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:02 pm**

How is that not a penakty try?

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:02 pm**

I'm really at a loss which is the greater embarrassment here: Racing or Brace?

IMO a bit far from the line to be a PT.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:04 pm**

Are you kidding me with that Brace - you can't fucking just put a hand out to stop the pass like that!!!

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:05 pm**

Flaaaaaaaaaaaaake. So...... pen kicked dead, fucked up pass in the middle, knock on to heap pressure on your own team and then a deliberate knock on to concede a pen try. Russell in a nutshell. Everyone sees the clever d*ck stuff but the sh*t he comes up with all too frequently somehow gets ignored.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:05 pm**

Brace is a clown.

How many yellows has Russell got for deliberate knock ons now?

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:05 pm**

That's a clear penalty try.

Brace eventually comes to the right decision but it's baffling to me that he didn't realise at the time that it was dodgy.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:05 pm**

That one has to be a penalty try.

Oh Toooorq!

Nah, it's not that simple - Russell's done some great work.

OK it's clearer now.

He was doing his best to find a reason not to award it.

Did Marler just start again with the, "Bants", in front of a ref ?

HOW IS THAT A KNOCK ON AGAINST QUINS

honestly this is remarkable stuff, just inventing shit

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:11 pm**

Russell should hand his entire pay to Le Garrec.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:12 pm**

YES!

Get in Racing

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:13 pm**

Ah well. Congrats Racing. Can't really say we blew it given we were in the lead for abut ten seconds and had our own period of being heavily depleted due to cards. Shame Brace is so bad at his job, surely he can't keep being in charge of matches at this level?

If I cared about this tournament that would bother me a lot more.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:13 pm**

Quins robbed.

Totally undeserved. Quins will be kicking themselves.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:13 pm**

Joke officiating at the end there.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:13 pm**

Andrew Brace, you are a fucking disgrace, you should be removed from the panel with immediate effect. I dont want to use the word cheat, but i struggle to put that all at the door of incompetence.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:14 pm**

You have to try and be good enough to take officiating out of the equation and restarts are an area where Quins were really bad, but some of Brace's poor decisions directly gave points to Racing.

He's on the list with Dickson as guy's who just aren't up to it at even domestic level, let alone Europe.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:15 pm**

Great win by Racing.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:15 pm**

Brace isn't a cheat, he just has no idea what he's looking at. And tbf the phantom knock on that was completely invented was not his shout - that was the AR getting in on the act.

Oooooh. Careful. You'll end up sounding like the whole of France.

- Restarts
- Aaron Morris
- A few lineout flakes
- Some very poor defensive reads

But still the best we've played for a while. Probably no surprise it happens with Smith back at 10 and Evans back at 7.

Racing’s last 6 points all came from pretty clear errors from Brace, as did the final scrum.

Feel bad for Harlequins fans after that final 10 crazy minutes, cynical cheating won.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:18 pm**

Surprisingly generous of the Frogs to give Marcus Smith player of the match though. They gave it to a Clermont player with ten minutes left on Friday night.

Ref bashing is ugly Boet. You are better then this specially after a loss.

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 5:18 pm**

Smith v Russell, Smith by TKO i would say, he definately warrants a place in the squad, if he plays this well after being out since November, it bodes well for England.

Both sides were p*ss poor with man or more advantages. Racing because they were just negative and Quins with some clumsy execution. Ironic that Quins played their best rugby when down a man.

I had forgotten Aaron Morris was a thing until today. Not helping my rage.

Quins 14 strips it off Imhoff, it goes forward and Esterhuizen catches it.
