Bearing in mind the above - what I'd like to know for each team is:
 
1. How is the season likely to go?
2. What are the teams' strengths?
3. What are the teams' weaknesses?
4. What can be done to improve matters for each team?
 
Any jingoism, sledging or graceless kicking of anyone whilst they are up or down will see posts deleted.
 
Be gracious and be constructive.

That's big words to use on school kids, plus if someone didn't change one of the words to condom for a giggle you must have gone to a boring school!

Have no fear, within a week of them going up they'd all be customised with felt tip pens.

[tigertattie]

I've lost the logic behind this thread!

I've lost the logic behind this thread!

there isn't any is there? Its all about slagging the weegies even if I have divided loyalties having grown up in glasgow, wanting to support a team that wins but being an edinburgh resident now and supporting edinburgh. Still - the weegies did well at the weekend but that is obviously 'cos I went to scotstoun

[RDW]

Was there a V2 meet up at Scotsoun? Must be weird seeing what everyone looks like – my GF still think V2 is full of dodgy old men trying to groom me to meet up with them…probably not far from the truth in some cases!

[TJ]

I was invited to meet up but I forgot to bring my soap so didn't dare

I have always made the following assumptions about the posters on 606v2:
 
1. Glasgow Fans

 
2. Edinburgh Fans

 
3. Leinster Fans

 
4. Munster Fans

 
5. Ulster Fans

 
6. Connacht Fans

Ach you would have been fine - we're talking about Glasgow remember, they've never heard of soap!

There most certainly was a meet up, RDW - me, and C21st, his missus, his bro, his bro's missus, and me, and Hoggy - I have pictorial evidence!! As for the grooming ... absolutely, nowt wrong with a bit of old-fashioned grooming!!

Ha - I do hope 21st lived up to the expectations I have of him in my head – is he as mental in real life as he is on here??  

Also, re-read that last sentence and make sure you’re happy with that to be known on a public forum...!

He's worse, positively certifiable, and entirely proud of it too!!!

[RDW]

 

So is a Glasgow victory with Chiefs LBP the ideal result for you then?

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

No, hand on heart, a win for Exe would have given them a tidy grip on the pool, with the Warriors left free to concentrate on the league - that would have been my ideal!

[TJ]

To reiterate a point I made on another thread.
At the Glasgow / Exeter game the Exeter fans had drums and a variety of chants and sounded like there was more of them then there was. All the glasgow fans had to offer was "Glaaaaaaaaaasgoooooooooooow" repeated which sounded like a sick cow. You could almost feel the embarrasmen t of the crowd that they had nothing better to sing / chant

Glasgow ( and Edinburgh) need some songs / chants and something for the crowd to get behind. Glasgow in particular is famous for the "patter" and wit - the fans need something to sing and chant. Come on guys - you must be able to start something and get some drums or instruments into the ground and get some chants going to bring the crowd alive.

This is where ther lack of history seems to show to me. Get it sorted - give us something to chant shout sing and roar.

[tigertattie]

we had this debate over the lack of chants available for Scotland.

All I could come up with was "Gie it laldy" to the tune of crazy horses!

Maybe we should make "you cannae shove yer granny aff the bus" a rugby song!

[RDW]

I remember a while ago the Edinburgh stadium announcer (the one before Graeme Easton, the older guy that sounded like a Scottish Alan Carr) tried to suggest a chant, but he completely messed up the rhythm of it and it just sounded ridiculous. It never took off because he messed it up, which is a shame because it could have been quite good!

How about for Glasgow, to the chorus from Biffy Clyro’s Mountains;

I am a weegeeeeeeee
I am from weeeeege
You can’t take that away from me

I am a wegeeeeeeee
I am from weeeeeege
If you do I will staaab yooooou

I reckon that will catch on.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Need a few soap reference in there, surely, RDW

[RDW]

Had to decide between soap and stabbing - went for stabbing! I'll try to think of a soap one.

[RDW]

Actually, ‘We didn't start the fire’ by Billy Joel is probably a suitable song for some parts of Glasgow!

Have made a suggestion to this end on the other thread.
Although it involved Chris Czekaj.

Brilliant RD - ya dobber !

[tigertattie]

Imagine how dangerous the Glasgow team could be............with switch blades!

[RDW]

Right ya bunch of useless plonkers, I've created a Treviso match thread because no one else has!

[tigertattie]

I'm starting to think George Carlin is abandoning his post!!!

AWOL he is! AWOL!

[RDW]

I voted him as Scottish poster of the year last year – if he keeps this up I might have to reconsider! Might have to vote for FES for Radge, imagine that FFS!  

[tigertattie]

or me?

Big cigar George... has the bairn arrived? Is all well with mother and child?

[tigertattie]

I think we should ban Geroge until he learns to use less OTT emocons

Not till end of January, Jimbo. So I've still got some time to get me head around the No Sleep For A Year cycle.

It was Mrs GC's birthday yesterday so was off the clock. Each had a massage, big dinner and was in the second row watching the hilarious Russell Peters live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENRv5ejj_X8 Good times.

Completely unjustified criticism, Tattie

George, excuse me for the premature jock elation.

lol. do you design these things?

[tigertattie]

The boy that does the commentary on BBC Scotland with Peter wright is terrible. According to him Scarlets are playing twice tonight!!!

[TJ]

So lets get this right. Edinburgh beat Munster, Munster beat Glasgow - so Edinburgh are the best team in Scotland?

Good to see that Big Naka eventually got some game time after the recent Fijian internationals - he put in a big shift and scored a good try for the Hawks: Glasgow Hawks 24 Edinburgh Accies 8

Perhaps slightly better than Grayson Hart's yellow card for what was apparently a bit of a girly shove in the fizzog of an opposing player.

[tigertattie]

Less rugby chat George and more OTT emocons

[Totalflanker]

Anyone else worried that Glasgow and Edinburgh (other than Connacht) have the lowest 'points for totals' in the rabo. Glasgow although third in table are about 30 points under the league average for point for and have scored less than half that of the ospreys........ops, almost forgot

[funnyExiledScot]

I think it is a concern. Both backlines at Glasgow and Edinburgh are having poor seasons so far with ball in hand. Glasgow seem overly reliant on Matawalu to spark things and Edinburgh are horribly reliant on a fully fit Matt Scott at 12....

In Glasgow's case I'm confident they'll come good, particularly once Dunbar and Hogg return. There's work to be done with the Edinburgh backs, but it's still early days under the new regime.

[21st Century Schizoid Man]

fES the person we are missing most is Peter Horne - terrific i/c with quick hands (and feet). He is the common denominator for our try fest last season. Crocked due to monumental stupidity by the Scotland medical team in SA - when Dr James Robson was at the BL wenkfest in Aus.

[tigertattie]

For us FES, we need a 10 that can run a game! Leonard is just not cutting it! I dont know if giving him more time will do the job or not.

For Glasgow, Shlong at 12 won't pass the ball. Baby Bennett at 13 can't pass the ball.

Edinburgh badly need a 10. Two first names aint the answer! I've already said Edinburgh need Heathcote to come up to us.

Glasgow need Horne and Dunbar to come back

[21st Century Schizoid Man]

Unfortunately, due to the above medical stupidity, Horne out until 14-15 season

[tigertattie]

  14/15

as in he wont be back until like Aug 2014????

What did they do to him?

[21st Century Schizoid Man]

The dimwits let him play on for 5 mins v Boks when he had strained cruciate ligament damage and guess what? It pinged. Negligent tossers !

Sorry to poke my head into this madhouse but had to say I nearly fell off my chair laughing at those. Club stereotypes deserves a thread to itself! Though you've been remarkably mature about it and I'm not sure everyone (myself included) would do likewise

[TJ]

Those guys are fr too handsome and ripped to be Glasgow Fans. Not even sure they are real scots.

This is more like it.
