Mark Connolly Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 That was glorious. The East Stand wanted 50 points, and got them. Seething, salty teared Ulster messes leaving after 60 minutes. The Horne boys scoring a try they had scored thousands of times in their back garden. John Lacey going an entire game without giving a yellow card. This game had everything. And in answer to the "Is the wind really that strong", it was. And it was fucking freezing. But it was glorious. Bring on the Southern Irish whingers next week. Either branch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Looking forward to the final. Do think it's a bit of a joke and actually quite shocking how the SRU have allowed it get to the stage where demand for professional club rugby in the west of Scotland is huge yet under 8,000 will get to Scotstoun next season. Glasgow have potential to be one of the biggest clubs in European rugby but are massively held back by the tiny stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 You notice the difference at scotstoun with just the extra 2000 at scotstoun. They should have opened up the pitches behind with a few bars or marquees for tonight’s game and the Edinburgh game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they can make arrangements to get the track at Scotstoun to f**k, and put the end stands in permanently, there isn't really a suitable ground in the city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no money because they were still paying off Murrayfield until the current BT sponsorship deal paid that off. I agree that a custom built ground would be ideal, but I can't see it happening for a while sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Ideally they would f**k the track off, take the north stand down and build a new one closer to the pitch. Maybe replicating the one opposite. Then you could have terracing behind one set of posts and a stand behind the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The obvious solution is an 80,000 all seater stadium in the Stirling area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snobot Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Anyway, just bought my ticket. Been following since the late Lineen years but small children have made going pretty difficult. Really looking forward to it - who do you think would be the preferable winner tomorrow? Leinster might be a bit broken, but i’d say they are a better team than Munster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 They should have invested in a stadium years ago. At the least it would be good to see the derby against Edinburgh played at Hampden.Glaswegians griping about playing in the wrong size of stadium are going to get little sympathy from their friends in the capital.But the idea of moving “event” games to a big football ground seems to work elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the strongest pro14 team I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Celtic’s twitter feed is interesting if you follow the posts after they congratulate Glasgow on making the final. Lots of upset Celtic fans and Irish rugby fans. It’s fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Looking at the ages of the squad there is definitely an opportunity for this team to progress. Price just turned 26, Steyn is 25, Sam Johnson is 25, Jonny Gray is 25, Huw Jones is 25, George Horne is 24, D'Arcy Rae is 24, Zander F is 23, Hastings is 22, Cummings is 22, Matt Fagerson is 20. That's 11 players who are already very good by the standard of the league and will get better (as I said before it's a huge shame that Bhatti is leaving). You also have Andrew Davidson, 22 coming in who looks very good and Stafford McDowall who is 21 and has shown huge potential. The back 3 is the only part of the team that needs freshening up with Tommy, DTH, Niko and Jackson all over 30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I can see this turning into a full scale riot. A bit spicy already and some of the clearouts have been a bit tasty to see the least. ETA: Some game, though.

Detournement Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Leo Cullen seems like a nice guy so this is probably just a bad joke but it's the last thing we need ahead of this final. Edited May 18, 2019 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
