Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Fucking hell Eddie Butler now going through the teams as if he's never heard of any of the players. Has there been a gas leak? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think the criticism of this England midfield as being all playmakers is a bit simplistic tbh. Yeah in an ideal world Tualagi is at 13 and they should have kept going with Lawrence, but form aside Farrell is more than capable of physicality at 12 and Slade picks some great lines and is no slouch physically either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It's difficult to like him (obviously respect him) but we really miss a Wyn Jones, someone who is streetwise and moans constantly at ref... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Ritchie is becoming that figure, for some reason you need to have been involved for 4/5 years to gain that cache though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I really want England to win here, that was a horrendous decision to allow that try 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I honestly think allowing that try was a disgraceful decision. For once I felt a bit sorry for Farrell. He was right, the ref was being a c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right, the ref was being a c**t. Disagree. He asked Farrell to have a quick word, then walked slowly back to the mark and waited. It's England's own fault they decided to have a water break at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I've seen that before lately but I can't remember the game now. You can't send a captain back to talk to his players and then not give them enough time to get in position. England are blameless and it would have taken a cold-hearted person not to argue with the ref about it. In that situation Greg Laidlaw would have lost his shit. That said, it was risky to have water carriers come in before posts were called. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to point out the same but as he asked Farrell to have a word I think that’s what made it harsh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one benefit of England v Wales is that you don't get his faux-French pronunciation of players' names. Although he has already mangled Pascale GauzereI see folk whining on the SRU Facebook about games on ITV but give me ITV any day over anything by Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies, not even mentioning John Inverdale. Some of the BBC lineup needs replacing as they are tiresome. If they could bin Scott Hastings from ITV, that would help enjoyment also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general when refs ask the captain to have a word they allow them a few seconds to do that, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Having wound it back and timed it, because I'm sad like that, there is a full 25s between him saying "Have a word" and him blowing time back on. That's more than enough for Farrell, in an empty stadium, to shout to them all to stop giving penalties away, and for England to get set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I like to see someone take advantage of their opposition sleeping in any sport, but not to allow England more time before the kick was, at best, very unsympathetic refereeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
