JUSTICE!!

You have to be Frak kidding me

Ludicrous decision

Yellow card and penalty try I think he's trying to make up ground for Ulster now.

Except the one attached to his hand that was holding his ankle.

What was the correct decision then?

Ok don't think a penalty try. Yellow maybe. Penalty definitely

Well, that was an interesting first half. Ulster should have been out of sight.

When you use foul play to stop a player that close to the try line and would have scored a try without the foul play penalty try is an obvious decision

There have been some big calls by the ref in this half. I guess you could say that they have just about evened out!

I don't think that was a pen try, as it looked like he got his arm around the players leg, poor technique but managed it. That said the try disallowed earlier should have been given so that's evened things up a bit I guess.

No arms you say? I'm an Ulster fan, but call it like I see it. Hate bias, I'll always try to be unequivocal.

So Davies has been irredeemably Poopie to both sides? Well that's a kind of balance, I suppose.

Overall I think it has balanced out. Glasgow lucky to only be 8 down

Can't really argue with the score. Ulster have had the game and really should be much further ahead.

Im glad he gave it. But can we say he would have definitely scored? Well probably as he is ficking amazeballs, but they had two tracking over and he only had a yard of space?
On balance both teams can feel hard done by.
But can we just put them away by 60mins please

Brilliant run by Jackson. Soooo close to Try of the season.

I'm actually going to drive to Glasgow just to punch this ref. How was ulster not offside at that ruck?

Exactly!

Just as well it wasn't a Try

Aye, Glasgow are getting no luck with the ref tonight....

He is so terrified of making a wrong call that he is going to the most extreme lengths to mitigate the risk. Every decision even remotely close to being important he is going to the TMO or touch judges. Also, that knock on against Henderson wasn't a knock on but he said advantage immediately and thus had to give it.

Glasgow are going to win this aint they?

I work with a few people like that. So terrified of making a wrong decision they don't make any at all, or worse make sure it can never be there fault if it's wrong.
But we know the laws so the ref is always right

Frak. Why Olding? Why always Olding?

That didn't go forward

Well

This is an incredible game, and an incredible effort from a bunch of kids from Glasgow!

Unbelievable!!!!

YES!! YES!!! YES!!

How was that Ulster player not offside in the maul?

Maybe the same way Jonny Gray wasnt at the ruck before Glasgow scored?

Frick yes paddy. Great score

Are we really trying to justify refereeing decisions by two wrongs make a right?

I like Davies but he has been absolutely guff tonight.

Did I justify anything?

Yeah, Davies is normally solid, but having a shocker tonight.

He got a couple of big calls wrong close to the beginning of the game and its knocked him.

So Ulster decimate Glasgow in the scrum its play on or reset, Ulster front row goes down its a pen?

But I suppose as long as he's equally guff to both teams then it's fair - I'm pretty sure that's the Pro 12 referees motto?

The ref has been a bit , well, unconvincing to say the least. But he has been equally annoying for both. Pretty much like all refs

What an advert for the Pro 12 this is.

This is a great game. Did Jackson just nail someone Into the ground?

Brilliant defence by Ulster.

I think it was Jackson. Powerful hit!

Wont lie I'm slightly aroused

If ever a game deserved a draw it is this one!

Well yes. And Frak no.

It will be gutting if Glasgow lose a lbp here
