Stev_o

Two of the worst reffing decisions iv ever seen, first the try now the most obviously knock on WITH TWO ASSISTANT REFS STANDING BESIDE THE PLAYER IN QUESTION. **** sake.

The Liberty is not even close to being full...

Probably the most unlikeable team in Europe, no surprise really.

thomond2006

Glasgow getting shafted by Clancy. :mad:

That was never crossing FFS, Hook just bought the dummy run. :rolleyes:

Podge_irl

The entire set of officials are having a bloody nightmare.

thomond2006

Ospreys should be far more ahead with this penalty count.

Risteard

Most of the penalties are in their own half though.

Podge_irl

Charvis apparently thinks it was definitely crossing and that the touch judge made an excellent call on the Williams try.

Great lets replace POB with Charvis.

Semi final time for the ML and we employ joke refs yet again, where's Lewis, Rollaind, Owens?

Judgement Day

Dire stuff so far - glad I didn't take Paddy Power more than 21.5 points in the first half.

I think it's an excellent game.

freyners

oh lordie, holland must be feeling like a C*** rite now

thomond2006

I assume POB refers to Paddy O'Brien.

G'wan Glasgow!! :D

Judgement Day

A lineout throw that even Jackman would be proud of! Nice try though.

Cool_CM

Try Glasgow!

Nice one!

Paddy O 'Brien the head of the Refs.

What's the score?

thomond2006

Very nice clearance kick from Johnnie Beattie.

Podge_irl

Ospreys 7 - 5 Glasgow

Cool_CM

7 - 5 to Ospreys

Judgement Day

17-5 to Ospreys with a great try by James Hook - Glasgow's goose well and truly cooked.

20-5 final score.

Ospreys final

B0X

And that's that. 20-5 Ospreys, both teams (More so "Lets not pass properly" Glasgow) looked a bit ****e to be honest.

thomond2006

So the final will be Ospreys vs Munster at the Liberty or Leinster vs Ospreys at the RDS.

Judgement Day

The latter I fear.

phog

Has the Liberty Stadium ever been full for a rugby match?

Digifriendly

Think I heard crowd figure as 7,000 which is very poor indeed. Doubtful even if Munster win that there would be a full house for the final there. At least if Leinster win there will be a decent crowd at RDS. What's wrong with Welsh rugby and spectator numbers? Remember as a boy hearing of crowds of 15,000-20,000 for Pontypool vs Cardiff!
As for the match itself Ospreys deserved to win but far too much spilled ball and mistakes to call it a good match.

Regionalisation has been a very hard sell to the fans in Wales. Still good crowds at the semi-pro games though.

Very true.

Nearly all the regions' home ML games are FTA between BBC2 Wales and S4C which doesn't help crowds either.

Except for the Dragons, the regions' stadiums are far too big which kills the atmosphere. On the other hand, Rodney Parade is normally buzzing.

Ever been to Rodney Parade thomond? It's a bit of a dump and you cant see the pitch in a few spots around the ground but the fans really do get in behind the team.
