Glasgow Warriors v Ulster, Scotstoun, Friday 22 February 2013, 1935 hrs

First topic message reminder :

Huge game for The Warriors and a real test for the so called 'dirt trackers' against the top of the table. Who starts at FH with Wee Dunky presumably back with Scotland for the Sunday 6Ns? Does The Messiah start or Peter Horne (if available)? Who goes at hooker with Pat MacA back with Scotland and Dougie Hall and Fin Gillies injured ? Where do we play Mata - SH please Toonster ? The previous games this season at Ravenhill and Scotstoun have been too easy for Ulster so we need to big up, front up and play the game we are capable of starting with the forward battle.

Looks like it will be a sell out boys and girls so get your tickets soon. My one and two teams in the Rabo going head to head at two and one in the league - cannot wait to see who will be !

We were very lucky there at the end that Birch and not sure who the other was were able to hold Glasgow up on the line there. We have not been good, Pienaar has been very very poor, we need to sharpen up.

Anscombe must have his head in his hands after that

We've given them two tries. Given them! This team is more than good enough to score their own. We look knackered.

Charge down for Glasgow, what was Wallis doing?

Ulster in crisis?

Dear dear dear Paddy Wallace what were you doing, thats the 2nd try we have just given Glasgow on a plate we are lucky that Glasgows kicker is not on form or we would be out of this.

We've given them 10 points from situations we should have cleared the ball. This is unacceptable.

Horne is having a nightmare with the boot

was that a trip?

I'm sure this warrants a 17 page epic thread where the match is picked to pieces and will almost certainly conclude that rugby in the province if Ulster is in crisis!

sorry guys I couldn't resist!

See, good defence against a good attack. But we let them have 10 easy ones!

That should be a card Nigel

So true....

I'm worried about the body language of our experienced players. We look jaded, dejected.

You'll notice I'm trolling on here since I cant bear to watch Edinburgh against the O's we are past a crisis. I couldn't get any worse for us!

I think Walsh, Birch and Allen (in the first half) have done well fairly unimpressed by others and very unimpressed by Pienaar, Diack and P. Wallace

aye, i'm not here to wum dont worry! just think it would be been a harsh yellow

McComish better play an awful lot better than he has recently since we just brought him on for one of our better players so far.

I hope Matawala is Ok here, that looks a nasty one

sorry I am wrong I think that was actually DTH who was injured my thoughts are still the same

Did he land on his head after the tackle? Didn't look good at all there. Oxygen and everything. Not good.

Ulster looking decidedly messy. Andrew and Walsh looking good. Very concerned about our mounting injuries at a critical part of the season.

The pitch is fairly dreadful also it has to be said...

lovely passing by glasgow there.

Ulster players getting isolated far too easily and support not getting quick enough. Come on boys.

think the ref if struggling with the pace, hehe

MCComish you idiot

oh ulster and I don't know if that was forward there. great play by Olding

Awwwww jeez lads that's close....

Great break from Olding

Cave took a deliberate shoulder in the run up as well. Card surely no?

anyone else notice the right hand side of the picture is out of focus when zoomed out?

Marginal call by the ref- but the correct decision.

Unlucky Ulster, keep at it!

Oh dear- we've dominated the scrum but we've given away two massive turnovers whilst going forward!

Sloppy.

How did he come away with that, we were destroying the scrum

Of all the scrums to lose like

surely that should be a pen to glasgow, tackle in the air? certainly not a yellow mind.

Only had eyes for the ball Nathan

Oh maybe not actually

was going to say he dragged the player down.

Theres a lot of stuff that should be ens or yellows tonight, not Nigels greatest game I don't think in general, but maybe thats as much down to the players

YES!

Big conversion to come.

yesss Olding has deserved that too he has played very well in attack, good work in the build up by afoa, trimble and tuohy

was there a knock on by the scrum half or did it come off his foot, couldn't see.

well we are at least closer now and playing better, come on Ulster

Olding has some lovely feet. Some great breaks. Regrettably we're only just about getting the support to him in time.

Great finish from Olding. Unlucky from ruan. Momentum with us. Lets go for it

Yes lads great turnover

Great choke tackle! This is going to the wire.

Arghhh!

Great try Glasgow
