That was sensationally fucking boring. We desperately need this team to click because I WILL pull my eyes out if I have to sit through many more matches like that #dcfcfans

The Lewis O'Brien tackle was vile. It was one of two things, a) recklessly out of control, or b) deliberate violent conduct. Either way, it's a blatant red card, and the referee has absolutely no excuse for not giving it. What part of it didn't he see? He bottled it.

Edinburgh still with the propensity to be totally batshit for no reason whatsoever. It's like we've never been away for fucksake

#scotlandteam #autumntests #allblacks #Rugbyunion Scottish Rugby fans! I have for sale, at the very reasonable face value TWO (2) tickets for Scotland against the All Blacks in November. They are NOT together. They are in the same section but about three rows apart. Anyone?

The problem facing us is a tiny group of people have taken away our wealth and our power. Time to take it back. Loved speaking to @podsavetheuk.crooked.com youtu.be/IE9qJvpib6w?...

Can someone explain the SRU Women's Contract stuff they've announced today in an unbelievably simple way please? I have had very little sleep for many days and my brain is eggs.

We need to change everything. Step 1 - join.greenparty.org.uk

That was crap. One of the poorest all round performances of the Eustace era, including the game management from Eustace himself. Big Pat looked both good and dreadful at the same time, which at least was exciting. When he scores the roof will come off. #dcfcfans

That was a catastrophically boring first half and ONCE AGAIN we're bemoaning an away side being given far too much space on the edge of the box before scoring. Nothing is working today and we look a bit lost. #dcfcfans

12 hours at work ➡️ Rugby training ➡️ pre season meeting. I am KNACKERED

Oh my life, Rhona Lloyd's Instagram post (and reaction after try v England) seems to suggest she's one who's not been offered a contract. Aside from the morality of all this, what the hell are the SRU doing?!

Nice night for a quiet visit to PP for the Rams Trust AGM. Very fun to see Roy McFarland and Roger Davies spend most of the night deliberately annoying each other. Perfect taster for Saturday #dcfcfans

Every social media post I've seen from the SRU this week celebrating the women's team or retiring players has had comments, often dozens, demanding that the union improve their support of the players, particularly around contracts, and a fan has even set up a petition: www.change.org/p/reverse-th...

I don't know why Bryan Easson just followed me on Instagram but fair play. Maybe I'll try and find out why the SRU are truly wanks

Jade Konkel being all but forced out by the SRU is sickening. Such a positive World Cup performance by the whole squad will be overlooked by so many more stories like this coming out over the next few months. It's pathetic and so avoidable. The SRU are emotionally blind.

The only thing that kept me watching this long was loyalty to one of the most likeable teams I've ever supported. That and I'd follow Rachel Malcolm into Hell if she thought it was a good idea

If we're going to bring up the heritage of every Scotland player let's chat about the Welsh born Meg Jones.

We've got brilliant wingers, why on earth aren't we using them in their 22? Get the ball wide and utilise what McGhie and Lloyd can do. Completely wasted opportunity.

Jade Konkel is brilliant

Brilliant recovery from Emma Orr that was. Unlucky to knock it on

Come on Scotland, go out with an almighty bang. Give them a scare and force the commentators to acknowledge you as a good rugby team.

Surely we're not missing Lisa Cockburn and Ellian Clarke THIS much at scrum time? Belisle is a great player, maybe it's the disruption around all that?

I'm simultaneously glad that the crowd basically knows the match is already over whilst also annoyed that the crowd is responding to scores as if they know the match is over. More vociferous England support would annoy me, but this (probably correctly placed) arrogant apathy is annoying me too.

Those last two lineouts have been CATASTROPHICALLY bad

Missed the first 9 minutes. Suspect I should switch off now and assume we've won 3-0.

There are a lot of racists knocking about, but there are a lot more who aren't racist but will vote the same way because they've not been shown any other path towards hope. This is how we challenge that and help people see through the rhetoric.

We all need to be having these conversations.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

I mean, call me a Loony Lefty if you want, but it *is* starting to look a bit weird arresting disabled pensioners protesting peacefully one day and telling coked up bellends attacking you to “calm down” another day the same month. Obviously, just my opinion. I might have got it wrong.

Get in! Brilliant win Derby. Love haunting West Brom like a boring spectre

Andi Weimann!!!

Would really love a journalist to ask Johnson more about which of Kirk's "reasonable opinions" he agreed with most. For example, was it that gay men should be put to death? Or that Jewish people were financing anti-white campaigns?

This is, obviously, a confession of a war crime, and one day I hope this man faces justice for this. But it's also a clear example of how dehumanised Palestinians have become in the eyes of many Israeli soldiers that he genuine doesn't seem to comprehend what he's admitting to.

My god

Glad we didn't classically Scotland that. It'll do, a good start to this campaign 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Get in there

I do continue to rate Che Adams

Do I hate seeing Ellian Clarke and Lisa Cockburn ruled out? Yes I do. Do I love seeing Christine Belisle called up? Yes I very much do.

My wee girly's first rugby session tomorrow. Very excited about it EXCEPT because it's run by someone who plays on the same team I do I've been roped in to help coach. I've served my time in the trenches of football coaching, I'm not getting back in them for rugby.

What the hell even is this article? Lower bills. Tax the Rich. Stop the genocide. And stop obsessing about my teeth, my beard and my boyfriend!

There were a lot of very pathetic goosies post training tonight but I think I did alright 🪿

Good point in the grand scheme of things, decent way to start the campaign off too. I'm happy enough, but still think we could've won that if we'd been bolder #DENvSCO

I do not understand why we've not started Gannon-Doak. He's one of the best wingers we've had in ages. #DENvSCO

Go on big Max #dcfcfans #DENvSCO

I finish rugby and I see Dykes miss that chance. How's he not scoring? #DENvSCO

Shit me, Glasgow's kit is absolutely sensational

Scotland women are now ranked 6th, have reached the last two RWCs and just qualified for the QFs. Scotland men are now ranked 8th and have missed out on the last two QFs. One of these coaches has been let go, the other. his contract renewed. I know it's not this simple, but make it make sense.

When Bryan Easson took over Scotland women, they were ranked 11 in the world, hadn't reached a RWC for 10 years and a RWC quarter final for 18 years. When Gregor Townsend took charge of Scotland men, they were ranked 5 in the world, and had reached a RWC quarter final two years previously

I have really liked Toony, but this is madness. Are we ever going to at least attempt to try something new to advance this squad? I honestly don't get it

Only just started watching Series 2 of Full Contact (having heard that it was a lot of bullshit). The first episode with Marcus Smith being pinned as the 'face of world rugby' by Roc Nation is very funny in hindsight, after losing the 10 shirt to Fin Smith and being completely unused for the Lions.
