Really? I thought they were alright. Might be a relative thing. You should hear the English commentary lads... Or better yet Peter Wright on the radio. I suppose all that doesn't really mitigate anything though. Not being Andy Nicol doesn't magically make you unbiased.Spiffy wrote:Fair play to Glasgow - they always try to play attacking rugby and were well worth the win. Massive boot from Hogg at the end.
That Gaelic commentator is truly one-eyed (at least when he speaks English) and Mike Blair is just as bad. Hard to take the pair of them.
They're normally pretty good. I was watching on BBC NI which is about as one-eyed as it's possible to be.Spiffy wrote:Fair play to Glasgow - they always try to play attacking rugby and were well worth the win. Massive boot from Hogg at the end.

I`d rather listen to the Gaelic than Beattie on the red butt. All those head knocks have clearly had a cumulative effect..Spiffy wrote:Fair play to Glasgow - they always try to play attacking rugby and were well worth the win. Massive boot from Hogg at the end.

Normally Blair is quite balanced but there was one spell where they were seeming to pick up on every decision. It can be hard with Ulster though. I like the way they play but there are spells when their counter rucking means there are bodies lying all over the place and boots flying in from all angles. I'd hate to be a nine against themSpiffy wrote:Fair play to Glasgow - they always try to play attacking rugby and were well worth the win. Massive boot from Hogg at the end.

Pyrgos was off the pace last night, didn't seem to be communicating effectively.Mikey Brown wrote:Just caught up with this game now. Interesting stuff. Some good performances and some interesting parallels to the Ireland game. It's hard not to think Gray, Strauss, Pyrgos, Russell would have made an enormous difference last week.
Seymour's line for his try was beautiful.
Anyone watch that half-time segment with Grayson Hart? Weirdo.
How often do we get to see Bennet's famed massive kicks? I guess Hogg will take every chance at those he gets.
He'll shake the rust off but it was tense viewing.Croft_No.5 wrote:Agree on Pyrgos. His service was pretty poor also. Great to see them dig in and get the win. Excellent result and here's to a fine finish
Enormous loss but a silver lining... Cummings will get more game time and we'll start to see glimpses of Davidson too. I haven't checked ages but i assume at least one will be too old for age group next season and will be available for the weeg during international periods.Adder wrote:Nakarawa to Racing seems to be confirming. Big loss for Glasgow.

Davidson might miss the cut off, Cummings should still be eligible. Either way if Glasgow need them Glasgow will get them.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Enormous loss but a silver lining...
