Edinburgh have had a few mis steps too this year - home draw against the Stormers, the loss to Benetton spring to mind. Also a pish display against Glasgow.

Hope they manage to finish the year with two strong performances.

Which begs the question, to be classed as a sell out, does every single ticket need to be sold, or is there leeway to allow for single seats that are hard to sell?

Well, it’s completely sold out now.

We will miss out tonight as she is not too well with the onset of BPPV, which is not great and got to try and make her stay in bed and not move her head too much, so tickets are now with friends that missed out.

The inevitability is crushing.

Can't say I was surprised to see Fagerson give away a bunch of cheap penalties.

Thought they looked quite disorganised in attack and reliant on individual ability.

ETA - I have menieres and she thinks I am getting my own back when I said years ago "If only you could have this for a day"

Absolutely agree, very disorganised. It seems if they can’t score in the first few phases or in broken play, they have no way to break down a defence.

The issue now, and the reason I want Glasgow to pull the trigger on Wilson, is this is the sort of situation that leaves players disillusioned. It would be a disaster if the likes of Price, Cummings, Fagerson(s) and others decided to leave. I would also imagine the carefully developed culture at Glasgow is close to wobbling if not already falling over.

Weegies have gone backwards this season, they are nowhere near the team of old. Decent players but they look a bit lost as said above - attack seems a bit blunt and defence is poor. They are also losing a lot of games in the last quarter, not sure if it is a mental thing, lack of fitness or what. Having seen what Blair has been able to do at Embra I suspect the SRU will not be as reticent as they have been in the past to pull the trigger on Wilson. It might be best for all concerned?

Does she know how to do an Epley manoeuvre? There are YouTube videos that show you how. Some people can do their own and relieve their symptoms. It’s not complex, it involves a specific sequence of head turning and rolling over.

A huge favour for Scottish rugby being done by the Ospreys turning over Scarlets. If Edinburgh manage to down Ulster tonight, Glasgow will have to beat Edinburgh in the last game for champs cup rugby. That could be an interesting conundrum for the SRU; an Edinburgh home semi vs Glasgow in Europe (not that they would necessarily be able to pressure Edinburgh into playing a weakened team).

Posted: **Sat Apr 30, 2022 6:41 pm**

This is ridiculous.

Lang is clearly hurt going into the game and hurt now and hobbling around.

Get him off for his own good.

Edit: off now. Looks reasonably significant.

Yes, I was taught it before my menieres was diagnosed and the doctor was out on Thursday and told her how to do it.

Bloody hell this is a frustrating Edinburgh performance thus far.

They are on the wrong side of the ref but keep doing the same things over and over. Also, they need to get a bit of control when they have the ball but neither half back can do that.

Chris Dean has played well

Posted: **Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:33 pm**

Ulster deserve to be in the lead without really doing anything with the ball.

We’ve blown at least three, probably four try scoring opportunities, I say opportunities rather than chances because they were simple “move it through the hands” and we’d have scored.

Some of the decisions have been questionable, I don’t know what the penalty count is but I’d guess at something like 9 -4 in favour of Ulster, but that is not why we are losing.

We are so fucking inaccurate it beggars belief

Beginning to think the officials are a Russian tank crew. Clearly oblivious to the yellow and blue being constantly offside

I’m hoping that facing the wind in the second half will blow the Ulster defence back onside :-)

First two pens of the second half for offside. Against Edinburgh

Going to ignore the forward pass by about a meter then

Ulster were throwing a line out jumper across the line there in the same way that Edinburgh got penalised for twice

Utterly cynical penalty there by ulster. Ref screaming to let go but he held on and killed the move. Smart.

They were offside at every ruck on their line, they're getting away with everything tonight

Schoeman a machine with the amount of carries.

Another huge game from the schoe too, the man is a machine. Carrying like a fresh back row in the 80th minute for a prop is disgusting!

Posted: **Sat Apr 30, 2022 8:36 pm**

That last few minutes was everything annoying about that game. The tryline is the offside line Ben, it’s not hard to see the defenders are over it.

Posted: **Sat Apr 30, 2022 8:38 pm**

Whitehouse is brutal.

Edinburgh should have finished off about 4 line breaks though.
