However , this is my main gripe of the day and it just really pissed me off when i seen it. Some scumbag is selling a ticket to the game for at 350 euro. What an absolute scumbag and a connacht man from Mayo aswell. Many real genuine connacht fans wanted tickets to this and then to see this really annoyed me. Anyways lads take care

Someone should report this to the branch so the ticket can be cancelled. Preferably before someone hands over the money to this P....

Well, it wouldn't be on sale if people weren't willing to spend €350 on it. If you are stupid enough to buy a ticket from Donedeal then you are also part of the problem. Burn both of them I say.

Yeah I hear you but in this particular instance with tickets even more at a premium due to media and away fans allocations I think a lot of genuine fans would give a body part to get in to watch the game.

Can you really blame the poor fanatic that would spend over a years season ticket money to try and get in?

Actually I can. No matter how much you want to see a game or a concert or anything else, you are just playing into the hands of scalpers by paying over the odds for tickets. I would have no sympathy whatsoever.

As a Glasgow supporter I have posted on the Warriors site but if I don't get any bites today happy to let the opposition have them as it will probably be the last chance you have to see your team this season.

Good man Bob. Doing the right thing but throwing in a dig at the end as well. I like it.....

A new thread has started here so maybe you should post it there. Kudos to you.

How can you play 80 minutes in a sevens game?
For a start, you would probably collapse. Also the ref probably wouldn't count any points you scored during the hour you played after the final whistle ...

Nakawara doesn't play by the rules.

i thought we did a good job in the last game of nullyfying their 2 most influential players Hogg and Nakawara.
It was almost like our players had trained specifically to stop both getting space.

Do that again and we can win this one as well, a week to recover physically from a 15 man game is very different to recovering from the energy expended in a 7's game

Buckley and White unavailable, seasons most likely over. Bealham, Rodney and Ronaldson all available Poolman unavailable

Have you a source for this connemara man? If Buckley is out for the rest of the season that is a massive blow. Bealham back would be even more significant if that is the case.

here you go

I'd prefer Mitrea, lets much less go at the breakdown. I suppose this confirms Nigel is getting the final?

Yeah I don't mind Mitrea myself and Nigel will be in his ear so he'll have the experience in his ear for stuff

Marius will let Glasgow away with a lot less at the breakdown and is a bit of a hometown ref. I know it's not something that should be encouraged but if it goes in our favour I won't complain...
