Dear RDW_Scotland

I would like to request your help in changing my username to help out poor unfortunate fools who have IT systems that do not distinguish between porn and high level cerebral discussions.

I have been informed that you are one of the best Admin's in the country, with a sense of professional pride and attention to detail, that puts people like FES to shame. I also realise that being the Admin is not a definition of who you are, but an indication of how you are able to take on roles that most people would fear.

You really are a man among boys - and much better than that TattieTittie, or whatever he is called

Yours

Username changes will mess with my head. How will I know which posts to just skip over? RiskySports was a well known brand on here, rather like Ryanair, WeBuyAnyCar.com and FarmFoods, you always knew what you were going to get. It'll take me a while to associate him with "NDL's Fluffer", or whatever we're going to call him going forward.

nowt wrong with FarmFoods FES! Top quality frozen chicken!

I wonder what name I'll be getting after calling Admin Boy "Admin Boy" again?

I always thought we were buddies, partners in Weegie bashing! It seems though that it's all been a facade and deep down, Admin Boy has a loathing towards me!

I am quite upset by this not because he is leaving Glasgow (Sorry NDL fanboys) but because he is signing for a team bereft of attacking flare and guile.

What would make me happier with this is the announcement of a new coach at Edinburgh

Great news for Edinburgh but even as an Edinburgh fan I can safely say he could have done a lot better!

We desperately need a good coach to get the best out of these players because we do have talent available.

Well the rumours are all true then, that is going to be quite a turnover of experienced players for Glasgow next season.

It had to happen I guess, the squad needs re-balancing a little bit and some of those guys would now be looking for top dollar (and deserve it). I am sure both Reid and Strauss will pick up good contracts elsewhere. They will be missed though!

Bloody hell, Shrek, Bluto and angel. That's a bit of a downer.

Apparently the motivation for not re-signing Strauss was financial - Rennie thought he could spend the considerable salary demand better. Makes you wonder if he has someone in mind who can bust the line, control from the base of the scrum and tackle like a b***ard better than Straussy. I sit in quiet expectation. Drool

Bennett to Edinburgh is a bit of a waste unless Edinburgh manage to get rid of Weir!

I know the SRU are looking for outside investors to take up the financing of the two pro teams, but this doesn;t seem to be happening at the moment so the SRU need to look at sorting the crap out at Edinburgh so the club can provide it's share of future internationalists again!

Bennett is a start. Now we need a proper coach who can get the most out of the players, a quality 10 and we'll be competitive again

Not many players are going to do that as well as JS, but if someone can get close and do it for a whole season as JS did for the 3 years whilst he was becoming SQ, then that may well be acceptable. They will almost certainly be a lot cheaper as well. We are going to have to have a few quid in the pot to try and hang onto Johnny and Finn next season.

I would have thought that after watching Tovey's last 2 games, you would have been desperate to get Weir back on the field again.

VC has not exactly overplayed him the past couple of weeks, so I imagine he will get a run out this weekend.

I have a feeling its about creating 'space' for Ashe. Gibbins also looks like more of a carrier than a fetcher. http://www.hurricanes.co.nz/the-canes/players-a-z/squad/callum/. Kebble coming in for Shrek and Jones for Bennett. I have my doubts we'll see too much more unfortunately.

I agree a lot of those replacements, both the ones already announced and the ones being rumoured, do look reasonably like for like.

I still think we will need another big ball carrier though, Gibbins is primarily going to replace Favaro and I don't think we can rely on Ashe on his own (albeit he is very promising), it is a very atrocious position and AA has hardly proved very robust so far.

Strauss was already one of the big earners at Glasgow. Him going will free up some cash to bring someone in, that is already being touted as the reason we are letting him go. You would imagine that Rennie will likely have someone in mind.

Edinburgh have some potential and at the least 2 relatively talented players in each spot bar maybe wing for next season. A good coach could be tempted to take the reigns and see if they can make the whole at least the sum of it's parts. All those players have shown, at least for a period, that they have ability. Consistency is now needed.

I'd completely forgotten about Tofilau - he got a good run of games at the start (and looked promising) but has barely been seen since. He is still young though and is a great athlete so a first season finding his feet as a professional is no bad thing.

Rasolea has been a bit of a flop too - his defencive positioning is awful and cost us a few tries this season he's an experienced pro with good SR experience so there's no excuse there really.

Things that could have upset Rugger's firewall:

"Glasgow are poo"
"Edinburgh have some potential"
"BigGee"
"Weir"

In 1997, Ackermann was banned for two years for use of the prohibited substance nandrolone, an anabolic-androgenic steroid. Thats one way to get the team up and going again!

The Lions play quick, exciting rugby. He would be a good choice and could rejuvenate CDP.

I heard Richard Cockerill is being courted by SRU/Edinburgh. He's only signed up to Toulon under Mike Ford until the end of the season.

If he could find a talented backs coach who he could manage to not fall out with then he'd be a great candidate for head coach. I'd be pretty confident our pack would soon toughen up under Cockerill

I'm back to try to drag the level of kak spoken here back to acceptable levels.

Anyway, I'd like to see Cockerill at Edinburgh but I'm sure that same wangs who objected to Robinson because "he blocked Scottish coaching talent" will start moaning again. I hate to think how much he would take salary-wise - I reckon it would be the equivalent of a very good SH/AB import

I had a bad case of laryngitis and couldn't talk Very Happy

That and stalking Jessica Ennis. You'd think that, in in this day and age, they would make higher resolution zoom lenses. That 100 yard restraining order she took out proved to be more annoying than I first thought it would be
