The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread

[whatisthejava]

Reckon it will still be a sell out and the weeg crowd will be loud,

Watched Sarries vs Bath and Bath were hopless, not to take anything away from sarries who twisted the knife and constantly lived in Baths half what felt like most of the game, Bath kicked very badly and Sarries refused to give the ball back to them, dont think bath even bothered trying to force a turnover,

Will be a good game at the weekend but Glasgow really need a ref that will have a liberal interpretation of the breakdown if weeg are to do anything.

Only hope that it`s not another horror film sequel. " Nightmare on Saracens Street 2 - Are you brave enough to watch it all..? " Not sure I am.

Yeah could easily turn into a horror show if sarries get a couple of early scores, best bet for the weeg is to compete at every breakdown and worse case sceanrio give a way a couple of kickable penaltys rather than concede 14 points

whens the team out ?

Interesting call for Swinsons red, for me it is but he may get off with no ban

(anyone heard when it is)

It's on Thursday which is absolutely farcical. You have to assume Glasgow are running with Brian & Jonny in training.

[Cameo]

That is really strange. How could they not do it earlier in the week. Would imagine Swinson could slot straight in though or he is a more than decent bench option

[Mikey Brown]

Young Bri had a great game at the weekend though, no?

(Not that that makes the Swinson delay any less stupid)

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Swinson banned for 4 weeks. What a joke when you consider some of the stuff people get away with. Where was Itoje's ban for his 'tackle' on Hogg, etc.

[Mikey Brown]

Wow. I guess Swinson takes the wrap for concussion then.

I'm all for outrage but didn't Hartley get the same ban for his swinging arm on SOB?

I really don't consider those two incidents to be in the same bracket of seriousness. Plus Hartley has a proven track record of being a despicable thug season after season.

[Cameo]

Hartley's was a lot worse. I thought he'd get a couple but I suppose it doesnt really matter that much ( unless they get through this week)

[whatisthejava]

Strange thing written at the bottom of the been article.

"He was reminded of his right to appeal."

Strange if the citing team said it,

[whatisthejava]

Again reported elsewhere, more and more like a direct quote

The panel’s statement said: “There were no off field aggravating factors but after considering mitigating factors, the committee reduced the final suspension to four weeks. The ban was therefore reduced by two weeks leaving the player free to resume playing on Monday, April 24, 2017. He was reminded of his right to appeal.”

[Big D]

It'll just be the way it is being reported. In my experience of disciplinary panels. although I haven't been the one in the dock, the player is always told he can appeal.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

I'll let someone else post the team but is as expected given the injuries and suspensions.

Glasgow are really scraping the barrel in the back row now.

Starting with Pyrgos...

Price has every right to be annoyed with that change but it's clearly tactical from Toony. Swinson, McArthur & Bennett would improve it but that bench is build for impact in the last 30-20 mins.

[Mikey Brown]

Yeah that's tough for Price. Not sure the tactics behind that would be a good idea or not to be honest. Can the forward impact match that of Sarries enough to make use of those backs?

Good to see Dunbar at 13...

[Cameo]

Yeah, Id have liked to see price but Pyrgos might make it less likely we get overrun early on. Im not confident at all as Sarries have just the sort of power game that we can struggle with but cant wait

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Starting to realise how painful it is to get to the Allianz from well.. anywhere.

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Found this. Job done.

Had to log in just to state how surprised I am at the sheer size of the away support. This could easily be a 50/50 split including expats.

[OptimisticJock]

Good stuff. Hope you all enjoy yourselves. I'm not jealous at all. Not one little bit.

Yeah. All of that.
