I can't say I have an opinion on who it should be, but I agree it should not be Diamond.The Party Line wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:35 pm Speaking of Edinburgh coaches, anyone any thoughts on who might be next in the Ejection seat?

Diamond seems to be spending all his time of the Worcester consortium he is fronting in any case with them seemingly moving into pole position to take on the club I think there is no move on either side to make this happen.KingBlairhorn wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 1:07 pmI can't say I have an opinion on who it should be, but I agree it should not be Diamond.The Party Line wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:35 pm Speaking of Edinburgh coaches, anyone any thoughts on who might be next in the Ejection seat?

I like the look of Shiel - good pass and box kick and he's rapid - so would really have preferred to see more of him the last couple of years. But then in his last start for us (I forget who it was against, our poor performances have blended together a bit in my memory) he had an absolute mare.weegie01 wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 11:35 amI am surprised to see that.westport wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 9:41 am Staying in the capital.
Scrum-half Charlie Shiel has penned a one-year extension with his boyhood club!
I just do not understand what is happening with him. He does not get much game time, but gets kept on. Having said that, I think he should be getting more game time. He has spoilt a few performances with daft errors, but to me it looks like he just needs a run of games to sort that out and get a better understanding of what refs will / will not allow.
It's a shame Edinburgh has not had a decent SH on the coaching ticket for a wahile.
Yeah the quotes from coaches last week, and the news about Worcester this week very much suggest he's finished with Edinburgh - who's available though?KingBlairhorn wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 2:05 pmDiamond seems to be spending all his time of the Worcester consortium he is fronting in any case with them seemingly moving into pole position to take on the club I think there is no move on either side to make this happen.KingBlairhorn wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 1:07 pmI can't say I have an opinion on who it should be, but I agree it should not be Diamond.The Party Line wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 12:35 pm Speaking of Edinburgh coaches, anyone any thoughts on who might be next in the Ejection seat?

The only other publicly rumoured name that I'm aware of is Lee Blackett whose contract at Scarlets is up at the end of the season.mos_eisely_ wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 6:51 pmYeah the quotes from coaches last week, and the news about Worcester this week very much suggest he's finished with Edinburgh - who's available though?KingBlairhorn wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 2:05 pmDiamond seems to be spending all his time of the Worcester consortium he is fronting in any case with them seemingly moving into pole position to take on the club I think there is no move on either side to make this happen.KingBlairhorn wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 1:07 pm

6 days old at the moment.
I suspect this was lined up for a while - regular game time for him would be excellent for him and Scotland.Jock42 wrote: Wed Apr 26, 2023 8:51 am Cameron Hutchison has picked up a 2 year contract at Newcastle. Glad to see he's got something.
Great deal, messaged them yesterday unfortunately can't be loaded on to an existing subscription.

I am tempted. Not sure whether to sign up with Sky or with Viaplay themselves. If you do the latter, how does it work? Do you watch via an app? If so then I might do that as I’m more likely to watch games on my iPad.charltom wrote: Wed Apr 26, 2023 8:57 pm I managed to take advantage yesterday of a £59 deal with Viaplay for the next year.

Do it via Sky and you get the app/web login thrown in anyway for no additional (unless they have changed that from previous years). Normally says in the blurb, all you need is the number off your sky card in your box.Yr Alban wrote: Wed Apr 26, 2023 10:40 pmI am tempted.

Same, hope they have a deal for existing subscribers come September.GrahamWa wrote: Wed Apr 26, 2023 9:09 pmGreat deal, messaged them yesterday unfortunately can't be loaded on to an existing subscription.

The E-mail from the weeg forum says that they have got 23-24 URC and T14.
1) The app has been hugely improved from Premier but last week it was absolutely shite and I ended up turning it off, hope that was just a one offDogbert wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:22 am So back in the day of Premier Sport , if you signed up for access via Sky , you also got access on their app as well
Thre is a couple of reasons that I would go via Sky ,
1 , I've heard the Viaplay app is not the greatest (neither was the premier Sport App ) , but othewr people would be in a better position to confirm
2. I also believe that the matches are not held that long for the app , however if you just record them on the Sky box , then they will always be there recorded until you delete them .
I've just done the same -it's a real steal of a price considering the cost of a match ticket thes daysYr Alban wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 2:11 pm Cheers lads. Reckon I’ll go for it with Sky then. The Scotland football matches are an extra sweetener:
The advantage of Sky nowadays (plus full fibre) is that you can generally download things if you do delete them!Dogbert wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 3:05 pmI've just done the same -it's a real steal of a price considering the cost of a match ticket thes daysYr Alban wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 2:11 pm Cheers lads.

I went for the Sky option as well , and you do also get Viaplayer access - for mobile devices - the app really hasn't improved on the Premier Player app.
I had a quick look on the Viaplayer app , and I can't see any full games , only highlights, looking at the Viaplay support details, they have this "replay" option
Replay (48 hours)
With our replay function you have the opportunity to watch all of our sport broadcasts for up to 48 hours afterwards. Select the event from the sport section and start watching. You can start the broadcast 48 hours after the end of the broadcast, after that it will disappear from the schedule.
So if I'm correct , they only have the full games up for 48 hours - whereas with Sky , if you series link it - you will never miss anything - just make sure you have enough space , and delete your wife's "Grey's Anatomy" if you don't
(PS - don't delete your wifes favouite programme - you will never hear the end of it - speaking from experiance )
The App and web login was rank last week, (first time ever) during the Saffer game and then the Embra v Connacht if I remember correctly. So much so the Sky Go app was better. As we say, hopefully just a one off.Jim Lahey wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 7:07 pm Apologies for barging in chaps but I've never had an issue with the app. I sneakily signed up to it on my old man's Sky so he can watch Ulster games and I make do with the app/website (I pay).
You can cancel your autorenewal in a few days time and it counts down until your subscription lapses but you still have full access. Just go to your account page.Yr Alban wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 9:07 am Well, I’ve signed up for the year (hard not to at that price!) and it’s working on both Sky and the App. Happy days. Now I need to remember not to let it roll over next year at three times the price! (Knowing my luck, Embra will have a great season next time out, and my sub will run out right before the playoffs)
He limped off last week, presume he's still injured.
Dogbert wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 11:56 am Jones is not listed as injured/unavailable for selection , so he probably could have played.
May just be 'Horses for Coures' , and with the number of games at the pointed end of the season coming thick and fast , probably good to give Jones a rest
I'm sure he will probaly be involved in the Quater final against Munster in two weeks.
Dogbert wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 1:30 pm Looks like Franco is pretty risk adverse about rushing people back
McDowall is a pretty decent substitute , and as Robmatic has mentioned Shuggie took a bit of a hit inthe Connacht game
Presumably better than Brown is now as he's had about 4 years of pro rugby (was in the same 20s team as Graham, Matt Fagerson, Kinghorn) but he's never made much impact. I really don't understand dropping Brown and signing Dodd. Diamond did play Dodd quite a bit fwiw.Jock42 wrote: Fri Apr 28, 2023 1:34 pm https://edinburghrugby.org/the-clubhous ... odd-signs/
I dont know anything about Dodd but is he better than Brown is/could be?
