The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread

Nothing. They just won't let me join.

And who was it that told me Dunbar was the fastest players in the Scotland squad? Didn't expect him to finish that but seemed a bit of a wasted opportunity.

I didn't know that expression also existed in English. In French you often say "Stop being a Jew"

Anyway, Yellow card was deserved in my opinion. Very stupid from MacArthur

It does, but I'm not sure it's the most PC thing in the world to band about. There is a joke in here about Marler and I almost gave myself an brain hemorrhage trying to think of one, so gave up.

Finn Russell being a jew as well. Turnover Zebre.

That Dunbar thing was a statement of fact from a few years ago mate, not some cat sitting on here... peering up at his ceiling... getting bored of picking the lint out of his bellybutton and then randomly deciding to tell you he thought Dunbar was the fastest player in the Scotland squad.

Aye, not very PC in France either. Just surprised to hear it here in English.

[Adder]

Watching Sales-Montpellier on the side, a cracking game! no Scots though.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Mr T still has quite a lot of development to do. What kind of winger touches down like that? Blatant knock on but the try is given. Guess the ref didn't see it.

[Edinburgh in Exile]

That attempted cover "tackle" from the Zebra halfback on the weeg try was a fucking disgrace. I know he's a big lad, but if you are going to make an effort to get there... make an effort.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Glasgow turning the screw. They should BP the Scarlets on this form.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Despite what P Horne may lack in size & height he might just be the best centre in Scotland. He's put in spectacular performances time and time again for club & country over the last year or two.

Yeah. He's probably the fastest man in Scotland. Not the Squad... The whole country.

In the angry midgets defence (not you E), he'd needed extensive treatment the last time he tried to stop T.


Price has the right attitude, the scrum went pretty well and good to see Rae have a very solid 30 minutes. Shocking accuracy for at least a half, but they kept in it and turned the screw. Sarto making a play for a starting wing spot already!

I did and to the best of my knowledge he's still the fastest ever recorded Scotland player as noted from his try v Italy.

I don't doubt it happened I just don't recall seeing that kind of pace in the try. Sure it was fast but not that rapid... perhaps it says more about our attacking play since that kind of measurement was possible.

I would certainly expect Hogg to finish off that break Dunbar had on the left wing yesterday. There was still a tremendous amount to do but a player with top line acceleration could finish it IMO. Although I appreciate Dunbar has had a lot of injuries since.

Either way he played very well last night. It's a real headache at centre for Scotland. I wouldn't be adverse to seeing Taylor on the wing - Sararcens are playing him there pretty regularly.

[AL.]

I seem to remember that Italy try being the fastest accelerating recorded by the telemetry, not top speed (and not including before the gizmo in the shirt).

[Big D]

It was the fastest speed recorded. Which means at some point he reached an mile/hr or km/hr that no one had done before.

That doesn't mean he would beat Hogg or Seymour etc in a race.

[ARM]

Yes IIRC he hit 0-60 more quickly than a Formula 1 racing car but recorded slightly slower straight line speed than Jouberts sprint for the shitter at Twickenham.

[Wylie Coyote]

Looking for a couple of spare tickets for the Zebre game, change of plans made it possible but too late for tickets. If anyone has any going spare let me know, Cheers update: got some!

[Chunks Baws]

Speaking of which, I saw a tweet yesterday about Joubert heading to the Olympics. No idea if it was to compete in the 100m or as a ref for the 7s.

Mike Adamson is going representing "Scotland". World rugby will need to get used to Scotland/England/Wales/NI being GB+NI for one competition.

3 year contract for Fagerson.

Maybe they have and he IS the representation of Scotland which includes players.

[Cameo]

3 year contract for Fagerson.

That's good. Any views on whether he might be first choice next season

He could nail that over the course of the season. Won't be bothered if he doesn't. Props (even phenomenally talented ones) take time to mature.
