Glasgow Warriors v Ospreys Friday 28 March 14 1935 hrs Scotstoun Stadium

First topic message reminder :

A real 8 pointer.  I would like to see this team :-

15 Murchie
14 Seymour
11 Matawalu
13 Vernon
12 Bennett   Dunbar could do with a wee rest
10 Jackson - DW needs a wee rest too and has a broken nose
9 Cusiter
8 Strauss
7 Holmes
6 Harley
5 Gray
4 Swinson
3 Welsh
2 Hall
1 Reid

16 Yaya 17 Brown 18 Cross 19 Nakawara 20 Jedi 21 Russell 22 Pyrgos 23 Isles (kidding of course) - Lee Jones

I'm thinking this will be high scoring and the Ospreys will edge it. But with my awful prediction skills it'll probably be something like 16-14 to Glasgow.

Here it is ... Mr Johnson's office

o
Jimbo, do you think this is Schizoid's revenge for the Ospreys allowing Johnson to leave us to take over Scotland?

Hmmm.  Thats a good shout Wayne

Is he still going? Good lord, thought we'd seen the last of the twins   

Aye, ASBO. Don't think I've seen him down as a referee in the Magners/RABO for many years but he does seem to pop up as an AR now and again

Anyway, how's you ? Looking forward to Easter

Am good, buddy, knackered from lots of training, but hopefully that just makes it all worth it Looking forward to Cardiff in May - I'll be back on the by then

Cardiff should be another belter, have sorted out a buffet at Spiro's again

Yer a great man

wtf is going on????

Asbo is being nice to someone!!!!!!

Is this not one of the signs of the appocolypse?

Aye yes Tattie - take it you mean apocalypse. Makes sense now   

Would like to apologise to our Welsh friends of the Ospreys re club name. My excuse is that was how the match was billed in a list of events from Glasgow City Council or Glasgow Life. Oh well   

Looking forward to the game but apprehensive as the result will have massive consequences for both teams

Now better go before the creepy stalker Cambo gets warmed up again.

C'mon Warriors    WHATEVER IT TAKES

Alwaaays Watching

Good - confront your demons. In your case by admitting you are:-

a. a creep

b. a stalker

Done anything about the psychiatric issues yet ?

Here's a link to the RADIO stream for the game - don't know how to get any BBC Wales commentary which I like, but the Radio Scotland Sportsound radio coverage is pretty good. Nice accompaniment at least to the Gaelic commentary.

I know most Scottish fans will be on here, so thought I'd put this up while we wait for KO:

WHY WHY WHY did we not think about doing this for SJ!?

Peter Wright saying it's "nonsense" Laidlaw is getting a break and that Denton should be getting a break.

Thinks Hart is better than Laidlaw.

Thinks it's rubbish and just because he's going to Gloucester.

'Doesn't feel quite right'

'Resting a guy 18 months out from the RWC?'

'Won't get any benefit'

Should be a cracking contest tonight - Looking forward to seeing Hassler run like a run away train every 5-10 minutes

Can't see past an Ospreys win unfortunately

That's a very Scottish thing to say!

Just don't think the warriors have played well all season. Ospreys have a strong team out

They ate struggling to score tries. That's OK when you defend well but we are missing that a bit now as well

Actually we haven't defended badly in general

I agree to be honest, at no point have Glasgow threatened to destroy a team the way they did at points last year when, at times, it seemed we were playing some of, if not the, best rugby in Europe. Having said that there has been little chance for consistent selection and as a result of some of last season's performances some of Glasgow's "squad players" like Tommy Seymour ended up playing for the national team and have therefore been unavailable.

Matawalu is having a mare

Weir has kicked well into what looks like a strong wind

AWJ looks as if he is up for a fight

In fact, that whole team are playing like a bunch of headless chickens

I don't understand how he does things on a rugby pitch, good and bad, that I couldn't even dream of let alone be capable of doing

Watching rugby on BBC Alba;

(Long spiel of Gaelic) And now over to a Glasgow squad player to state what's just happened in a monotone voice.

"Yeah we've chased that ball and he's knocked it on."

  

Sam Davies has been shocking as a flyhalf/full back he can't pass or catch.

been impressed with Russell, but Glasgow just need to calm the hell down and play some sensible phases!

Why didn't they have a stab at the points the winds was with them. We were let off there

Hmmm, well that was a pretty stale 40 minutes.
Ospreys looking the better side, but they'll be gutted to only have 3 on the board.
Glasgow what's wrong with you?
Lets hope Townsend gives them a rocket up the arse at half time.

3 points down playing into a very strong wind, it is still a very winnable game. Need to play the territory in second half and it will come. We look like we have got them in the scrum.

But it's free and available to all. Unlike next season...

How many errors have glasgow made? Winning the set piece tho so with the wind in the second half should be able to turn possession into points if they can avoid all copying Matawalo

Cut out the errors and play the territory, the game is there to be one. Ospreys have not looked great either and they have had the wind. That should have been worth more than 3 points.

BBC Alba will still get a lot of games. Probably even the same amount. Sky has first pick but there are a good few games in Scotland that Alba doesn't cover, especially Edinburgh games that won't be the main featured game each weekend. Sky still only has a minority of games.

Glasgow will never click like they did last year with Weir at 10.

How many knock ons before the ref will blow up there were 3 in less than a minute.

Imagine playing a drinking game where for ever knock on, fumble or bad call you take a shot...

It's like watching the national team

Funny that - Glasgow make lots of mistakes, Edinburgh give away lots of penalties, Scotland end up doing both!

That's more like it

Should heve been a yellow here for Tipuric..

He was sailing very close to the wind

RDW_Scotland wrote:Funny that - Glasgow make lots of mistakes, Edinburgh give away lots of penalties, Scotland end up doing both!

Scott Johnson came in with a mandate to make the Scottish national side a fusion of Glasgow and Edinburghs styles. He seems to have managed it quite nicely!

No long range penalties to win it for Ospreys today

Guys we are gonna be OK. Vernon is on
