[QUOTE="ecks tartan army, post: 167095"] Back from the game, and what a game it was! I'll get this out my system first - the ref was, well, Shite would be a good word to start with. Edinburgh's disallowed try was perfectly legit, There second came from a forward pass, their third saw the most obvious case of offside/obstruction ive ever seen (edinbra player running up behind his own guy and putting a hand on his back: its either obstruction (probable) or otherwise at the least inadvertent offside) Hardly a lineout ball was straight all night - yet rarely was it called. 2 professional fouls by embra players went unpunished (despite the referee awarding a penalty) and then the Stortoni/Evans incident!!!! But anyway, now thats out my system, Glasgow were absolutly woeful in the first half. The lead we gave them at half time we were lucky to even be in the fight at the end! Parks was beginning to actually find something called the touchline (:o) but still missed far to often. Stortoni was once again outstanding, except the incident where he (apparently) knocked the ball over his try line and touched it down. (from my seat i coulda sworn it hit the post, but ive not seen the replays) Thought Embra were lucky to get the late score - given our defence in recent game - but TBH after the first half Glasgow didnt deserve to win. But the most positive note of all - what an atmosphere! 6,225!!! a new record for a non-HC final pro game in scotland! (most of it silent for the most part though) The embra support were almost defening after Cairns's try, but i think the way our fans got behind the team despite the 15 point deficit at HT deserves some credit (and the players seemed to appreciate the support at the end. Now we just need to replecate that at Firhill every week! And just to finish, can i say i really hope Thom Evans is alright. Took a really nasty one and from the stands didnt appear to be moving. Its disapointing to see any player taken off with a serious injury, but to see it happen such a promising player with a bright future ahead of him (and potential N's Scotland games!) is really saddening. Hope you make a speedy recovery Thom. [/QUOTE]
