redstevie007 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Still laughing? That was a brutal was to lose such a big game. Just needed to win one line-out, and hold the ball. Great effort by the team though. ####in unbelievable. As a nation we seem to aim for glorious failure rather than embrace the possibility of victory with confidence - the fitba team, the rugby boys, the Referendum. Yet as individuals we've achieved so much - the telephone, penicillin, science and the arts. We really are an astonishing and infuriating people.

weekevie04 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 'kin hell, that was an amazing game to watch, but same old story. Well done the lads though. A great effort and everyone pretty much wrote them off after Australia beat the great 'powers' of Wales and England. See how the next 6N goes.

Goozay Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Made an arse of the line-out. Secure the line-out and the ref doesn't have to make a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 saffers on tv are blamin gus for fecking up the line out should have played short ball to the front - well according to them saying nothing controversial about the penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one t in scotland Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Penalty or no penalty it should not be forgotten Scotland made an absolutely unforgivable royal fück up of that throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyDenoon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Cannot believe that call didn't go upstairs. Utterly astonishing. Big big call and for my money Joubert got it wrong. We talk about refs in football getting big calls wrong but when there's the TMO system in place there's no excuse for getting it wrong particularly when the result of the match (only a World Cup quarter final) hinges on it. Disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Jim Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 All very well questioning the ref for a debatable decision but all Scotland had to do was secure the ball from the line out and keep possession. Line outs were a shambles from the moment Ford was replaced at hooker. Ultimately Australia scored 5 tries and looked like scoring every time they attacked, while 2 of our 3 tries came as a result of Australian giveaways. Much improved performance by Scotland and if they can carry that on the future looks a bit brighter, but Australia deserved the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyDenoon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Let's not forget the dire yellow card decision also and that was with the "help" of the TMO. Is it really now deemed impossible to catch a ball with one hand? But yes, the lineout was a mess but even with a secure one there was still work to do for 2 1/2 minutes. So close, totally gutted. We deserved to win that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 So the dream is over for another 4 years... we coulda been the best 'home nation' (and northern hemisphere...) - now go back to being the 'worst' football home nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Penalty or not, and it should have gone to the TMO, the comment above about the line-out is spot on. Keep it simple, go for the middle to your best jumper. We opt for the difficult option of the back. And the restart effort after Bennet's try was terrible too. Little things win or lose you games at the top level. All the same, ref's calls, not least the ridiculous card for Maitland, hurt us.

Hendricks Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Inexplicable decision from the line out. Just throw it short, get ruck, eat time, boot long or out. Then the restart have to kick short to try to get possession. Our own mistakes. Ref blatantly bias and regular ref of the tri nations matches. Just the usual mixture of close but no cigar and genuine hard luck moments. Unbelievable really it happens time and time again. Gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
