The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread

Bench cover all wrong.

Not too much hope there if/when the distress signals go out.

I like that team. Brave bit fair to start with Johnson and Grigg. Dunbar has not been at his best. Backrow looks good too.

Agreed. Harley, Fusaro & the Jacko/Horne combination all wrong.

[Numbers]

So the teams are as follows. Big call to choose Johnson and Grigg ahead of the first choice Scotland pairing. Also surprised but pleased to see Bhatti and Faegerson get the start. With the propensity to play attacking rugby this has the potential to be a cracking game.

No Price may be the right call. It it's only going to fuel the Edinburgh rumors.

Glasgow:

S Hogg; T Seymour, N Grigg, S Johnson, DTH van der Merwe; F Russell, G Horne; J Bhatti, F Brown, Z Fagerson; T Swinson, J Gray; M Fagerson, C Gibbins, R Wilson (capt).
Replacements: G Turner, A Allan, S Halanukonuka, R Harley, C Fusaro, H Pyrgos, P Horne, R Jackson.

Scarlets:

J McNicholl; T Prydie, S Williams, H Parkes, S Evans; R Patchell, G Davies; R Evans, K Owens (capt), S Lee, T Beirne, S Cummins, A Shingler, J Davies, J Barclay.
Replacements: R Elias, W Jones, W Kruger, L Rawlins, W Boyde, J Evans, D Jones, S Hughes.

Difficult to call this one, Glasgow haven't lost at home in the league this season have they?

The Scarlets look the better team on paper imo but home advantage should make this a close encounter.

Is Sarto still injured or what?

Or was his good spell just a flash in the pan?

Not available due to injury: Adam Ashe (ankle), Oli Kebble (ankle), Pat MacArthur (shoulder), Leo Sarto (shoulder).

Most of Glasgow`s good spells in recent times seem to have coincided with Sarto`s fit spells ?

Not required for next season, I think.

[OptimisticJock]

Hogg injured?

[Donny osmond]

Had a bad feeling before this, and Glasgows absence of either discipline or defence isn't improving things.

Does Lacey know about the offside rule?

[Donny osmond]

Difference between the teams in attack is pretty stark. Glasgow relying on individual brilliance, Scarletts relying on simple, direct, coherent teamwork. Its not a complicated game.

Crowd booing the players off at half time. I hate the glasgow crowd.

It's staggering that Glasgow look exactly the same team they did at the start of the season. They haven't adapted, learned or improved in any way whatsoever. If anything I'd argue they've regressed.

Glasgow cannot continue the silence regarding signings for next season. They are desperately needed.

Hard to see how Glasgow get back into this. They're capable if they bring their A game but we've only seen that in glimpses this season. Very rare.

Feel sorry for the fans who paid the premium on top of their usual prices to go to this crap.

*Booing Lacey's decision to blow up for half time after Glasgow trundled over the try line.

But carry on .

[hugh_woatmeigh]

PS not taking anything away from the Scarlets. They are a superb side these days and have signed well for next season so should be able to kick on.

Doesn't make it OK but Donny certainly has a bee in his bonnet about the crowd.

[Tobylerone]

Needs more than Miracle-Gro to save this one..

Same old story, gift the opposition points and cock up your own scoring opportunities.

Can hear "Easy" in assorted Welsh accents, not nice.

Ok not booing the players off, just booing the ref for making a perfectly reasonable decision while their players are leaving the field after a half of getting drilled and could really use a lift. Note that none of the players seemed to have an issue with the decision.

Yeah, I do have a bee in my bonnet about the Glasgow crowd. For a reason. Which being, they are turning the collective noun for a group of self righteous cunts into "a Glasgow"

I've a lot if sympathy with the Weegies crowd today.

[BlackCat1978]

How is it possible to be this shit defensively?
Ryan Wilson has missed 4 individual tackles - that I have counted. That's fucking abysmal.

[Adder]

Bossed at the breakdown, stars didn't show up. Score is well deserved.

Looks like the season's special rythm has worn them down.

Well done Scarlets! Didn't look like they had to try very hard.

Well, that was a disappointing performance. Not a great way to end the season.
Well played Scarlets, fairly comfortable in the end, but especially Patchell who played superbly.

[Big D]

Perhaps the saddest part is this wasn't surprising at all.

Yeah. This. I missed the last Scarlets trouncing but that felt just like the Wales game in the 6 nations.
