Or you could just call it as it is Saint instead of accusing others of being biased, doesn't add a lot to the debate does it.

Anti Welsh posts!

Where?

I think most people want the underdogs to win just to annoy 'one eyed Jiffy'

Webb - WTF?! Please don't let him be Gatlands latest unstoppable favourite - get Gareth Davies in!

It's not anti Wales it's pointing out officiating errors ... should never have got to that point due to the high tackle that you're conveniently ignoring .... plus JD was running an illegal line in front of the ball carrier anyway.

I know scrum halfs are supposed be annoying but Webb is pushing it. Hes bought or trying to buy pens at least 3 times now.

Rubbish

Poor officiating ... Scotland should have been given a penalty for a high tackle on Visser, instead Wales turn the ball over and score a try - should have been 13 - 9 to Scotland at that point not 10-16 so a 10 point call by the officials goes in favour of Wales ...

Hilarious. We beat Scotland every year (maybe not today) and the ref always gets blamed.

So what I have said that is not correct?

We get called cheats in every game.... Agree about Jiffy tbh, he's a funny one.

Jiffy just blew a fuse!

Jiffy is a disgrace. How is this guy being paid to commentate?

No try obstruction.

Was it a high tackle? Yes
Was in a obstructive running line? Yes

Calling it as it is, is apparently showing bias.

Because it was from your crystal ball. Correct in your eyes maybe but not in reality.

Who called Wales cheats? People are simply pointing out officiating errors - you really need to get over this persecution complex ...

JD was slowing down to try and get behind Williams, doesn't look back and gets tackled off the ball.

Jackson is a poor ref. He's got the right call eventually here, but he gave the try first and has been generally awful at ruck time.

TMO great call.

It wasn't obstruction, JD was tackled off the ball.

What are you talking about - plenty of people saw the high tackle ... It's not me that's not in touch with reality here ...

Davies unbelievable. He's not even trying to be fair.

Wales a victim of what goes around comes around, there.

About time the Scotland team were given an official warning IMO, too many penalties. Nobody on here mentions that though, I wonder why...

Yes of course that's the reality of the situation isn't it and you're the one accusing others of bias?

Should we all tweet jiffy, see if he replies lol

Lol

Saint, it's getting a bit boring mate

It was a high tackle. It was the rest of your bs post. Every time Wales win a game, on here it's always because of the ref so at least you're consistent.

Ref having a good game you think Saint?

Just leave him be, he'll self combust soon enough.

"he's given the try and now he's going to the video ref, can be even do that?"

Yes Jonathan Davies, he did it last week when he overturned the England try against your beloved Wales you biased...

Gethin in at the side , the ref missed that one

Just want to know why some crybaby has complained about this on topic post?

OK so you agree it was a high tackle ergo the rest of what I said is also true - how is that BS?

Nice try by WALES

Scottish player down and Wales played on, should have kicked it out boooooo.

Sustained pressure tells. Nice delay from Biggar and good line, but Scott has to make that.

Good Try Wales. Deserved it after all that possession.

If it was given then how do you know exactly what would happen after that? As it stands we've extended our lead. Why dont you complain about JD being tackle off the ball? Me thinks it's the colour of his jersey unless stated otherwise ?

Matt Scott - 12 looking very much like Matt Scott 23 there. Dunbar wouldn't have slipped that tackle. He's not back to his old self, thats pretty clear.

We're clearly looking to not commit players to the rucks, but it might be an idea if we did put some players into the ruck on our own ball to stop Wales waltzing in and picking it up unopposed!

Are you a bit dumb?

If the high tackle is given as it should have been then JD's obstruction doesn't happen and he doesn't get taken out, not difficult to understand even for your clearly inferior brain.

Dirty play there

Held his ground, doesn't have to move. Pass looked a tad forward.

How is that not a penalty to Scotland? Liam Williams was clearly late.

The crowd should have done more like the MS and Aviva

Yellow

I know it wasn't given - but how does that mean there wasn't a clear off the ball tackle on JD?

He takes Hibbard and Jarvis off yet leaves Jenkins on unbefeckinleavable

I am sorry but in this last passage of play, one Welshman should have seen a yellow, too many professional fouls coming in.

Has to be yellow

Glen is having a shocker

Wales are very lucky there.
