Nah. His manner can be grating, especially when you're losing/not playing well, but he really wasn't that influential in how the game panned out IMO. E.g. To me it looked like the gray peno/try decision was correct, a Scarlets fan would be raging if it was given against them.kermischocolate wrote:Firstly Lacey was beyond awful tonight but that's not why we lost the game.
We've gone backwards at a rate of knots since the season began. Yea Rennie has arrived with this fabulous reputation but it remains to be seen what he's actually done with us. That should have been the easiest half time team talk in history- we're getting humped at home in a semi final. Stop being so fecking passive and actually have some line speed and more importantly make some tackles!!! Yet, what happened? We were even more passive in the second half!!! The first half should not be acceptable for any group of players. To not improve in the second in just criminal (I know we scored points in the second half but that's not the point).
Best thing Glasgow can do over the summer is get in a decent forwards coach as our pack have gone from being competitive to being complete lightweights.
I don't know why anyone is surprised at tonight's game- the same thing has happened against every semi decent side we've played this season. Enraged doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about it!
I hope Leinster go on and do a double this year.
Murray Kinsella has a piece on Barnes in the HEC final analysing the decisions and tbh, it's a bit of whinge. I think as fans we direct too much of our ire at the men in the middle.
