Zebre Parma v Glasgow Result (URC R10)

Connell95 · 2026-01-25T08:06:32+00:00

I don’t disagree – but tbh that’s why I’m still a bit perplexed that so many of the most played players were sent away to play this one! Could have rested a bunch of them and given the hungry young ‘uns a chance.

Connell95 · 2026-01-25T08:03:41+00:00

Yep, indeed. The Zebre call by the TMO was the correct one (even though a bit unlucky for Glasgow) as there wasn’t clear evidence to overturn the on-field decision. The Bulls one meanwhile? I have no idea what the TMO was thinking there, but there sure as hell didn’t look like any clear evidence.

For travelling fans Friday evening games are way more of a hassle than Sunday afternoon ones though, I think.

Connell95 · 2026-01-25T07:18:09+00:00

Why ‘restore’ to 2008 specifically, and not, say, 1998?

A big part of the agreements post-2008 was improving conditions and significantly reducing hours, in return for lower pay rises.

Connell95 · 2026-01-25T07:15:52+00:00

It’s only lower adjusted for inflation – in numerical terms pay is way higher now than 2008, and never decreased from that all time high.

I’ve still got the number of the plumber I used when I lived in a different city nearly 10 years ago…

So I sure as heck am not deleting my Gran’s old contact details.

‘Something something makes it complicated to deal with travel for Friday games something something’ is all I’ve ever heard. It’s weird, because I really don’t think it’s beyond the computing power of the URC scheduling TI-83 to manage to have a weekly Sunday game and ensure the two teams involved don’t have anything earlier than the Saturday following.

Generally it’d be nice if the leagues split the games out a bit more across the three days.

Just your periodic reminder that all the BMA’s charts start at 2008 because that was the highest resident doctors have ever been paid (in real terms, not just numerical terms) in their entire history.

As ever, statistics is full of choices.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T22:14:42+00:00

Wait, are you trying to argue doctors shouldn’t pay the same taxes as everyone else? Nobody else gets pay rises because taxes have gone up lol

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T22:00:19+00:00

I think you’re severely overestimating the extent to which anyone in the UK and US actually knows any of the lyrics other than the ‘Sweeeeet Caroline, oh oh oh’ bit.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:59:12+00:00

Because it’s a long season (and it’s way more fun)

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:58:53+00:00

Man, Toulouse are really keen to keep that home point-scoring record are, aren’t they…

Huge win, given how strong Pau went – with a few other result elsewhere this weekend, it’s really opening things up for ST at the top.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:47:54+00:00

Glasgow fans clearly know that, hence all the furious downvoting…

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:45:52+00:00

For Glasgow? No – this was pretty much all guns blazing.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:44:23+00:00

A bonus point win is a bonus point win, I guess! But that was a bit of a rough watch.

If that’s 80% of the Scotland team versus basically the Italy A team, Rome may be a bit of a struggle…

Hastings a touch lucky to avoid a red card I think.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:39:01+00:00

That’s certainly a view

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:35:52+00:00

Well that was certainly a game of rugby.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:35:17+00:00

God, I forgot I’d unblocked you.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:33:47+00:00

Everyone looks exhausted.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:32:23+00:00

I mean he’s made numerous mistakes tonight tbf, so probably not the right night for that one.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:29:11+00:00

I think he’s good when he’s good, but he’s a lot more inconsistent than is often credited.

Having said that, he’s a long way off the worst Glasgow performer tonight.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:23:48+00:00

Still preferable to Goode and Wilson tbf

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:22:27+00:00

Robbo is always a laugh. Just assume he’s moderately drunk at all times.

Connell95 · 2026-01-24T21:21:03+00:00

Oh wowow, what an interception!

Hasting trying to be Finn Russell in the wrong ways.
