    From now on when I am having a terrible day, I am going to say I am having a Freddie Burns.

    Absolutely. One thing for sure is that he'll NEVER do that again. Idiotic, although I feel for him.

    Not really. Had he run out of steam and got caught it’s one thing. Celebrating is another. He’ll live on in YouTube compilation infamy.

    If Joe Schmidt was Bath coach Freddy Burns might never play for them again.

    Quite true.

    As much as I dont feel for Burns, pulling him off was sadistic.

    To be fair it was more incredible determination and guile from Medard than Burns being careless.
    Best piece of defending I’ve seen in ages.

    That should have been a Bath lineout.

    The Burns brothers are very similar in how they play. Both are pretty flaky.

    2 losses for English sides now out of 2.

    The two Burn's fúck ups aside, Bath were brutal.

    Healy and the other commentator saying the officials weren't up to scratch and Tolouse didn't deserve to win it. Bullshít.

    I’d imagine Toulouse players have it drilled into them given Poitreanaud’s debacle.

    He'll have enjoyed that more than scoring a try. I know I would have.

    Yeah getting the hook with two minutes to go was cruel.

    I'm all for sending a message etc, but there's also destroying a players confidence.

    Is it me or is Twitter video the worst piece of technology in the universe?
    I can get maybe 1 in 10 clips to play, be it on mobile or PC and there's never any error message to indicate why it doesn't work.

    Yeah in fairness to Quinlan, who knows a bit about mental health issues, you could hear him thinking 'no, no, no dont hook him'

    But I wouldnt hold it against Blackadder.

    Aw yeah kiss kiss, thump the badge, boom.

    'you've gotta feel for the player' says Quinlan. No you effing dont. You have to take him to the river and drown him.

    I dont know where English backs get their instinct to do that, but if that was seen in Thomond or the RDS the dressing room door would be closed and the next thing would be an ambulance arriving.

    It is the most unforgivable bullsh1t.

    Stop beating around the bush and tell us what you really think :pac:
