ddfg Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Anyone been on the pro 14 facebook page yet? I thought the cheetahs fans were bad winners turns out a few of them are even worse losers... Think they were liking the hype the last few weeks have them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilky1878 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Just now, John Lambies Doos said: And munstering funnily enough there was a comment from a munster fan when a lass had said that glasgow would have them home that went something along the lines of "bullshit, cheetahs will f**k you up both legs" (that's a paraphrase but is roughly what was said.) Only to follow it up after Glasgow won as it being banter and he was looking for a Glasgow reaction that he never got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Watched the game tonight with an Ulster fan who was absolutely sick when we won. It was delightful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddfg Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 On a more tedious note, can Macron not make a new set of playing kit with old sponsor not on it? Ending every game with black or white tape peeling off the back of the jerseys isn't the best look for a professional outfit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still advertising this now available sponsorship space before having Macron knock up a fresh batch of shirts perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I went through all the emotions known to man watching that. Done amazingly to get a BP win in a game that could have gone either way. Digging deep in unfamiliar conditions was excellent. I can see why they had limited success in Super Rugby as they aren't very physical and poor defensively. However they will be a sound addition to our league as they are very tough to play in Bloemfontein and some of their backs make Usain Bolt look like a snail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still advertising this now available sponsorship space before having Macron knock up a fresh batch of shirts perhaps. It is Scottish power sponsorship on the back that is covered. With it still on the back on the fans kits and on the front and covered on the players kits. The move of the sponsor to the front was done close to the start of the season so I would assume that the club would get a new set of strips later on in the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to disagree a bit there....they were fantastically physical going forward n bounced a lot of our big guys. We had to employ serious line speed n double up on tackles n even then they made yards. As for their defence their line speed was crazily good n we had to score by frankly moments of genius n brilliance (n perhaps well earned luck). I don't see any other side getting a win there let alone a bp. Their hooker would gas most pro 14 centres. They beasted Glasgow in set piece too. Gibbens was only player that got us over gain line consistently. Genuinely think thats one of Glasgows best ever wins (not best performance cos was lot of scruffy stuff). Not sure any of Glasgow tries could be attributed to poor defence tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Would Glasgow of stayed overnight and travel back today or would they travel back to Scotland as quickly as possible. What's best in terms of preperation for the next game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most sides fly out overnight after there last game in South Africa to give themselves more time to recover? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Very impressed by the Cheetah's, considering they are going to get their internationals back us add in players from the Currie Cup and they will be there or there abouts at the end of the season. Again Glasgow struggling in the set peice, which is a worry. Scrums are a strange one as we can shift teams about at mails with no problem and are usually dominant in the forwards so its down to technique or coaching. Line outs it throwing, so again technique. Don't know if there is any scope to get a specialist coach in or not.Great win though and 6 from 6 is s great start. Gribbens best player on the park I thought, Harley excellent when he came on, and Matawalue a game changer as always 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew overnight last year, can't remember the exact times but both ways involved leaving about 8pm and arriving morning at the other end. Only a guess but a proper warm down and feed may be better than a rush to the airport, good thing is there will be no jet lag 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also that they've already played a full season. Said from the start they should be judged from next season, not this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember welsh fans on social media saying they'd pay his train fare when he was hired by sru. The set piece is shambolic. I'd be up for getting shade Munro back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Harley has been fantastic so far. Not as obvious as someone like gibbens (basically leone n strauss combined) but does some fantastic work. Really hope toony keeps him in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the hard work work well at ruck and maul rather than the showy stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
