On a Quins related note ex Stoop player Glen Young has scored two for Edinburgh, running one in from half way. Edinburgh lead Brive 33-3 at HT

Bizarre game. Loads of weird decisions not going Castres way, but then they also got away with a couple of stone cold penalty tries.

Yeah more than a few times he gave a penalty against Castres for the wrong reason - right outcome, mind. Like being penalised for good turnovers with the wrong justification, but only after they'd taken someone out off the ball or had the tackler backing into in the "channel" getting in the way, etc. The breakdowns were a mess, Castres were throwing everything at them. Loads of weird calls though.
That last gasp ending wouldn't have been needed if he had spotted the maul literally being tackled to the floor a metre from the line, mind

tbh, I think it's shit for wankers like Austin Healy to call out referees' decisions like that.
At the last ruck, the one Healy bleated on about, Adamson was on the other side unsighted and the referee is part of a team. If he misses it and the two ARs miss it, tough shite, move on.
Adamson wasn't the difference in the game, referees seldom, if ever, are the difference. Go through every single play and you'll find several reasons to award penalties to either side in every game, and it is stop start enough as it is.
This does not in any way dismiss the fact that homer refereeing exists, but over the course of a season the better teams win leagues and cups

Plus all the other points he left on the field. At least he was a good goalkicker when he was at Quins.
Re: European Rugby Thread

Yes. He was. Quins really lucky that he awarded the blocking try and for a Brace special in disallowing the legit turnover which would have ended the game. FWIW, I smelled upset on this one and went Quins < 5 and so can thank Adams' efforts for my get out of jail card.C69 wrote: Fri Jan 21, 2022 10:45 pmAdamson was the difference tbh.Tichtheid wrote: Fri Jan 21, 2022 10:15 pm tbh, I think it's shit for wankers like Austin Healy to call out referees' decisions like that.

Mike Adamson of Scotland is the only other referee to have two matches, officiating France v Scotland in Round 1 before also being on the whistle for England v Wales at Twickenham in Round 3.

What was the general view on how things ended for Botica in a Quins shirt?
I'm struggling to think of a more unprofessional and stupid thing that any other player has done that is worse than that. Robshaw not going for goal against Wales in the RWC15 and then calling it to himself at the front of the lineout perhaps?
