Possibly. Apparently they do that before the football as well...

Good take Tommy Seymour; Os still look potentially dangerous when they go wide

ha great kick through by Goughie!

Unlucky bounce mind.

Aye it's standard for football teams to do it Cari, can't fathom why a rugby team would want to do it though!

Lovely grubber from Gough, unlucky bounce the young winger

Maybe the grass hurts when you fall over?

Gough not allowed to tug his arm there

OMG!!! Big fight off-the-ball! Haven't seen that in P-12 for a long time.

Very late challenge - has to be yellow

Sorry Asbo, but there was a bit of football-like amateur dramatics there. Anyway, no one is penalised for the row.

ha! Glasgow player should be embarrassed there.

Just showed that in real time, no way goughie's bum could do that much damage when he's pulling out of the challenge! Not quite sure why when his shoulder was hit he was clutching his head either.

Nah, you're right, too marginal to call, altho I think Gough is a wily old campaigner

Not sure which part of pulling out is continuing full-steam ahead? Anyhew, nothing to see, carry on

Oh yeah, he's been yellowed in the past for his shenannigans...

That's what she said.

Keep it coming Glasgow!

Jonathon Davies is painful to listen to, may switch to Alba just so i don't have to listen to his bias account of things.

Also, anyone know why is this game being broadcast on BBC2W and Alba? The Edinburgh game has no coverage at all and my nephew is an Edinburgh mascot with the Accies minis this weekend!

Commentator: "They need something for the interval..."

A shotgun? A miracle?

It's shown on Scrum V because it's an ospreys home game. Not sure why the Edinburgh game isn't on BBC Alba though.

Woah brilliant defence!

Superb counter-rucking

Jebus. I think half the fans will be going home at HT.

0-15 at HT.

If I didn't know better I would say someone has hacked your account Asbo


Pretty dire game, thank goodness for HT!

I'll be honest, I don't know why the derby isn't on tonight and this game on S4C tomorrow. That would make more sense to me.

What does the attendance look like?

Was thinking the same thing. Seems odd that Alba go to an away game that's already televised and don't show a home game, that you would think would be an entertaining game (from an Embra perspective).

I'm watching Alba, he's been speaking in a fair bit English tonight for a change. I find his commentary really good always very polite and unbiased (the english bits anyway). I can't stand a biased commentator or someone who feels they have to voice their opinion of everything.. just bloody commentate and keep your opinions to yourself!

What a load of guff!!

Ospreys tight 5 are non existent, there is very little thought from Webb or the back row, and fair play to Biggar he is the ONLY Osprey actually thinking about whats going on!

This sounds awful , they have to pick another region to show the home games of at this rate !

Good job you know better then

Have a funny feeling that Os will up their game considerably in the second half - suspect that Glasgow will need to find another gear

Ospreys don't deserve to lose...









































They deserve to get thumped.

You said it knowsit!!!

Wee Dunkie would have totalled that big Lock - he's from Rutherglen after all !

Risca - true, although I expect they keep the big games on Saturdays for some reason. I'd say at the beginning the attendance was something like 7K, but it's hard to judge on TV. I tell you what, the Scarlets will have a field day at this rate...

Righty, second half, here goes it...

ASBo,

bro' - we boo the opposition like mad at Firhill and probably will continue at Scotstoun so keep it real dude. After all John Beattie said it was cool

Meatball struggling with kicking from hand again - most unusual

Ok, this is a better start from the O's....BELIEVE!!!

Furry muff, C21st, I'm obviously too faint-hearted from being with respectful south-west crowds for too long!

That is one poor call from the ref!!!

All his body weight is on the ball, another lying the wrong side!!!

Silly from Bearman, given a clear shout from the ref - Os need continuity not disruption

blues, but the tackled player must release the ball, regardless, no?

Webb in the bin! Stupid stupid foul, Rhys you pillock!!

Tough yellow, lazy running, but not deliberate - pen only for me
