The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread

That'll be tough being away for the full week.

A week working in Italy doesn`t sound tough to me..
No shortage of ehm, distractions either..

[Croft_No.5]

My phone tells me it is going to be 22-24 degrees and sunny every day next week in Italy. Shame

[Tobylerone]

Indeed, a hard life as a rugby pro.
Until Friday when the weather turns..

Good start but I do wish Russell was a little better at tactical kicking, that was yet another mare.

Picture quality is poor for me on Alba, quite hard to tell some of the players apart actually.

Weeg not staying on their feet long enough in attack. Pinged for holding on, fair call tbh.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

JG bundles over after a good couple of runs off the maul from Favaro and Mr T.

Conversion is good. 7-0.

This picture is really bad it looks like an old VHS or something.

Couple of Treviso pens since and Glasogw have been putting the pressure on near the line but no scores yet.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Mr T is on a rampage. Glasogw have been so, so guilty of not using this guy this season. He's so difficult to stop.

Finn Russel throws a quick inside ball to him and he bursts through three tackles no problem. Takes a bunch of them to get him down but he manages an offload anyway... knocked on sadly.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Gordon Reid is such a troll, he's pulled De Marchi's shirt over his head twice in quick succession and De Marchi can't help but come around the side of a ruck illegally to give him a wee push. Great goading.

Pyrgos takes a quick tap and is hauled down just short of the try line, Horne bundles over.

Conversion should be simple

14-6.

[BigAl]

I see Glasgow are making heavy weather of this, determined to allow Teviso back into the game.

Yeah they imploded later on in the first half but they have their third try after 42 mins. Favaro runs onto an offload after hoggy's dancing feet fool about 5 defenders.

[Croft_No.5]

Swinson playing well

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Weeg had a kickable pen right in front of the posts but decided to attack instead. They're 5 points up, very, very arrogant decision in my opinion.

No try yet.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Ref is a right pain in the arse. Loves the sound of his own voice.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Turnover as it's a Pen for Treviso. Glasgow could have been 8 points ahead if they'd used their head.

JG captaincy comes up short again.

[Edinburgh in Exile]

Fucking hell hoggy.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Glasgow go wide, marked heavily but Hogg gets the ball with a few metres space in front of him accelerates and just glides through the remaining 4-5 defenders. He's continuing his 6N form.

Russell unlucky with the toucline conversion as it bounces straight back off the post.

26-16. Bonus point secured. Time to chip away at the scoreboard and grind out the win.

[Edinburgh in Exile]

Here lads, I got caught out by a time zone for this game, is it worth watching the first half?

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Lee Jones got cucked in contact a bit there didn't he. Looked a good back move that produced a lot of space though.

[Edinburgh in Exile]

Great scrum weegopotomus.

Not really. The tries weren't fluid attacking moves. One was off the back of a maul the other was second phase after a Pyrgos tap and go from quite a distance.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Glasgow go for touch instead of kicking the points... I know you lot think I'm a party pooper but I genuinely think this is poor decision making. Try or not.

Perhaps it wasn't as kickable as I thought.

Cheers, I'll just wait for the highlights on YouTube then. They just showed the try's I missed, Hogg in the build up to one of them was class agian. Can't fault the cats form right now.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Smart dive. Conversion is not good from the toucline. 31-16. That's Treviso dead and buried. Good work.

Both the sideline kicks were close, a bit more practice and Russell could maybe start nailing them.

Marginal call. I know what you are getting at, but it looks to me like the weeg were trying to kill off any remaining hope that Treviso had. It paid off, but as is always said, it's a result dependent decision.

Could also be going after a bit of a points difference buffer for the final 4.
