First topic message reminder :

Cardiff Blues vs Glasgow Warriors

When: Sat 6th October 6:30pm
Where: Cardiff Arms Park

Teams
Cardiff Blues: TBA

Glasgow Warriors: TBA

Warriors without DTH for 6 weeks, something that I'm sure will please the Blues fans on the board. Poor performances from both teams at the weekend and they'll be looking to make amends this week.

Won't be for long with performances like this and Ulster.

We have only won 1/3 home games this season, could be 1/4. Despite winning both our away games. The curse of CAP

Maybe the fans would prefer a ground share at the CCS with cardiff FC?

by **George Carlin** Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:38 pm

RDW - are our backs literally doing nothing at all?

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:38 pm

Still standing far too deep, though its a bit better than the first half.

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:39 pm

Ohhh, a penalty to Glasgow...we sure haven't seen enough of them.... Rolling Eyes

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:39 pm

There you go RDW, Filisse is 2nd man in and penalised for not releasing in the tackle

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:39 pm

How is that a Glasgow penalty? Headscratch

In this case there are quite a few poor calls, especially at the breakdown, Glasgow are sealing off at every opportunity and the blues are being pinged for things like presenting our own ball.

Glasgow have the scrum with a bow on it but they have made a few mistakes there that has actually gave them posession, and the breakdown is glasgow plus 1.

Both teams are showing there is little between them but the scrum and the ref at present.

Aye and it's not improving...

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:40 pm

3 - 15

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:40 pm

Horne gets the penalty 3 - 15. Not a deserved penalty I'm afraid.

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:41 pm

Jamie Robert intercepts thrown - 1
Total for this season - 4
Games played - 3

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:41 pm

Although the blus have sealed off a few times this half now, playing the ref a bit better

by maestegmafia Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:42 pm

Looks like mr Davies got his big plod boots out and gave the team a kick up the backside at halftime.

Everyone performing much better

Hi guys, can I watch s4c online, like a bbciplayer type thing? im on a losing side of an argument with the missus and her friends for when xfactor( picard

) starts. Thanks

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:43 pm

No bind from Glasgow there...

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:43 pm

Wow! A reset scrum, I thought the referee just like to instantly give penalties to Glasgow...

Sexton cracks over a penalty - 23-14 to Leinster.

Glasgow prop binding on the boobs now... carte blanche

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:45 pm

Filise is on at LHP, seems to be doing better there than Campese.

by maestegmafia Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:45 pm

Wow ref, I take it all back...

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:45 pm

Wowsers! Were Glasgow actually penalised there?

23-14 in Dublin.

3-15 here after 53 minutes. Halfapee kicks but it goes wide.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:45 pm

Thanks for the link , could only find Ospreys Munster where i was looking.

by maestegmafia Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:47 pm

Great shot of two pretty young ladies swooning at the devilishly good looking (my wife's words not mine) Leigh Halfpenny.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:47 pm

NO PENALTY???!!!

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:48 pm

True, Copeland doing better than Watts-Jones

We need Paterson back though.

Pretorious has yet to impress me like he did 2 years ago.

6. Paterson
7. Warburton
8. Copeland

Could work

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:48 pm

Speaking of Halfapee, he's injured....nooooooooooo! Went for the ball, and got a shoulder in the face.

Another questionable decision by the very inexperienced ref.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:49 pm

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for the ref now, he's making lots of errors, both teams trying to take advantage and sadly it's just going against us, over and over.

O'Driscoll escapes for a try and Sexton lops over the conversion.

30-14 to Lions now. Surely that's game, set and thingy.

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:50 pm

Halfpenny making a mistake...you won't see that again for a couple of years Wink

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:50 pm

Halfapee still on..and he makes a mistake. I blame the smack to the face Wink

The ref is very inexperienced...

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:50 pm

Very smart tactics now from glasgow, kick high and wait for errors, if they don't come they still have territory...

and the ref.

by **George Carlin** Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:51 pm

Fozzy's on. boxing

Lion slates the stag...? Still some time left...

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:51 pm

Ref resets when Glasgow are pushed back on their own ball, but when the Blues are he gives Glasgow possession.

Hmmm...

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:51 pm

The ref seems to have lost control of the scrums by the looks. It's delaying the game again.

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:52 pm

Entire Glasgow front row driving upwards.

Penalty Glasgow.

???

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:53 pm

You can't call use it then ping the blues...

this is getting silly now, depressing and silly!

Phil my boy, you better get that board up to protect you from the tongue whipping at full time again.

by maestegmafia Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:53 pm

Perplexed...! Doesn't some it up regarding the scrum

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:53 pm

Flippin' heck. If it wasn't for the ref, I'd love to know what the score would've been. So much time wasted on scrums, and all points from penalties.

3-18 after 57 minutes.

by Casartelli Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:54 pm

Weirdest thing is, when you look at the Cardiff team on paper/on screen, they should at least be a competent side.

On grass, they can play like an Under 11's tag rugby girls team. Only without the competitive attitude.

Is it the coaching? Complacency? Laziness?

Very odd.

by wales606 Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:54 pm

Ooooooh...another scrum...I can't wait

by thebluesmancometh Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:54 pm

Thank you Tim Hayes...

Don't look like he wants to be involved with this mind does it?

by Cari Sat 06 Oct 2012, 7:55 pm

Fairdo's Blues, they've gone for the corner instead of the sticks. Sensible choice when you're 3-18 down and haven't really got much more to lose.
