by glamorganalun Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:13 pm

Great finish coming up

by HammerofThunor Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:14 pm

Wow. Italy's only second away win in the 6 nations.

by mystiroakey Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:14 pm

Oh dear....

by glamorganalun Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:14 pm

Well done and deserved

by Nachos Jones Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:14 pm

Wow, that was absolutely pathetic from Scotland...

by tigertattie Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:15 pm

We've been utterly terrible today.

Another year of what ifs! Wooden spoon is coming home

by TJ Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Oh dear. I think I'll resign as a scotland fan

by **RDW** Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Pathetic.

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Well what can you say. Well played Italy, they deserved it.

Terrible Scotland performance. Think we can safely agree that comments along the lines of 'Scotland should have far too much for Italy' that we saw before the game were pretty silly.

by HammerofThunor Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Nice to see that Scottish supporter sticking his finger up at Parrise at the end.

by sportform Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Scotland snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

by **Notch** Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Well done Italy. They got a bit of luck with the Horne missed kick but fair play to that Italian pack who just squeezed 'em. They deserved it.

by tigertattie Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:16 pm

Proof again that Horne is not cut out for international rugby

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:17 pm

Takes the pressure off Italy from Georgia and Romania

by majesticimperialman Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:17 pm

A great win for Italy and well deserved as well.

by lostinwales Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:17 pm

3 tries to one. I dont think that Italian side is too bad at all. Sad day for the scots though

by cakeordeath Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:17 pm

That's it, I give up. We are nothing short of a laughing stock. Perhaps if the players spent less time posting pics on twitter of free s h i t they get, and starting fights in fast food places we might be slightly better.

Frak it, I am done. Done with it all. I am off to concentrate on my other sport, where at least if I Frak up I only have myself to blame.

Two Scottish yellow cards at the end laughing

by Nachos Jones Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:17 pm

I just cant believe what I have just seen from Scotland. That was incredibly dire from them for the last 20mins. They are not even gallant loser's this time. I would hate to be a Scottish fan.

Commiserations Scotland. It is so disappointing, there are some genuinely talented players in this Scottish team.

Congrats Italy. Gutted Crying or Very sad

by Lowlandbrit Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:23 pm

Once again; plenty of promise, nothing to show for it when it's all said and done. Have Scotland ever had a good Six Nations? SRU either needs to get rid of the Italians or invite someone else in...

by majesticimperialman Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:23 pm

It just shows what a good kicker means to a team. Italy struggle to kick goals and keep the score board ticking over.

Scotland failed to kick the ball out in the dying minutes giving Italy a chance to win the game.

Again well played Italy on a good win today.

That he is. But nobody was saying this to fans during the opening round of the 6 nations when people were 'sticking the foot in.' Complains fell on deaf ears....in fact, the mods joined in.

And well done Italy.

Why because I wanted Italy to win? Does it make you feel hard to abuse people on the internet by the way?

by wales606 Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:24 pm

Such expectations at the start of this campaign, but once again the 'dark horses' have only played well in patches.

From 10 - 0 up after 8 minutes that is a shocking result at home against Italy.

If Scotland have really improved, then that just shouldn't happen.

by **Notch** Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:24 pm

I'm just trying to give the lad some friendly advice Nachos Wink

by Nachos Jones Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:25 pm

I honestly must say that I thought that Clancy had a very good game today. Normally I don't like him as he is very pedantic but today I thought he had a decent game.

As a neutral, I agree

Might not have been correct everytime, but no howlers and was fair to both sides - all you can ask for really

Indeed I am a knob. That I don't deny. Such a shame though that people like the mods can dish it out but cannot take it. Shame people can't take a bit of banter on here and accept that we can all support who we want

I'm not abusing you, but you are getting on like a knob for no good reason.

EDIT: but as we can see there is only one person trying to act the big man here.. what a child.

by LeinsterFan4life Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:28 pm

It would be stupid to think Scotlamd would hit the ground running this quick under Cotter. These things take time.

Agreed.
On the game; I thought Scotland tightened up in the second half, but credit to the Italian forwards at the end.

by Alex_Germany Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:29 pm

Well played Italy. I think they've got good chances in their two remaining home games.

Interesting to see Italy winning by the same margin as Wales.

I thought Scotland played well at times, but too many errors.

Was wrong at the last scrum but at least he had the balls to correctly award the penalty try.

by Nachos Jones Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:30 pm

Oh well on to France v Wales. Hoping that the Welsh lads give the French a beating.

Really feel sorry for you Scottish supporters, as an Irish fan, I have lived the same life many years ago.
